Bangalore: Two Indian American students will get a chance to work with lawmakers in America for eight weeks, as part of an internship programme by Capitol Hill. The internship has been announced by a Chicago-based Indian American organisation.

All Indo-American college undergraduates and graduates from Illinois, who are interested in public service and policy making, can be part of the programme, announced the Indo-American Community Services (IACS).

The selected students will get the opportunity to do internship at the offices of U.S. Senate and House lawmakers or in House and Senate leadership offices, reports PTI. Apart from this they will also receive an amount of USD 1,500 from IACS, as stipend.

"The goal of the Leadership Internship Program is to create a corps of young Indian American leaders with the skills, outlook and contacts necessary to generate and sustain positive change in Washington DC and within their local communities," IACS said in a statement.
