PRS Legislative Research, commonly referred to as PRS, is an Indian non-profit organization that was established in September 2005 as an independent research institute to make the Indian legislative process better informed, more transparent, and participatory. PRS is based in New Delhi.
About the Work
Each Member of Parliament (MP) in India represents over two million constituents. The Indian Parliament passes an average of 60 Bills every year. MPs make laws and address complex policy issues across a wide range of sectors. Given the diversity of issues and the technical nature of many of them, it is not possible for MPs to be well versed on all such issues.
It is in this context that PRS provides MPs analysis on legislation and policy to help them prepare for parliamentary debates.
PRS was co-founded by C.V. Madhukar and M.R. Madhavan in 2005. M.R. Madhavan is currently the President of PRS. The Board of Directors is headed by Mr. S. Ramadorai. The initiative was incubated in the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi, which is a leading Indian think tank. Since 2013, the initiative has been institutionalized as the Institute for Policy Research Studies, a not-for-profit Section 8 Company.
The work of PRS is entirely funded through philanthropic donations and grants by a number of Indian institutions and individuals.
About the Internship
PRS offers rolling internships throughout the year.
The PRS staff consists of a team of dedicated professionals with different areas of expertise and is broadly divided into the research and outreach departments.
While the research team analyses legislative and policy issues of topical interest, the outreach team tracks the working of the legislatures and legislators, manages citizen engagement, and is PRS’s interface with the MPs and MLAs.
A prospective intern can apply for an internship in either/both departments.
Structure of the Internship
The internship varies from session to non-session time.
During a Parliament session, PRS’s work is guided by the issues taken up in Parliament, and interns are expected to work with the analysts on any and all projects.
During non-session periods, the interests of the individual intern are taken into consideration, and he/she is matched with an analyst(s) doing related work.
The successful completion of a PRS internship requires the intern to pursue and complete an internship project. The intern will be assisting analysts in their research, as well as undertaking an internship project.
Duration of the Internship
The duration of the internship is flexible but is normally between four and eight weeks. Interns can work from their homes.
Expectations from Interns
In addition to a deep interest in the working of Parliament and the legislative process in India, an intern should have:
Strong writing skills
Strong analytical skills
Stipend
Please note that no accommodation or remuneration is provided. This is strictly an unpaid internship.
Application Procedure
Interested persons can fill in the application form. The form has to be filled out in one session, and there is no option of saving responses.
PRS is presently inviting applications for ‘Work from Home’ internships starting in the months of February. Applications for the month of November will not be accepted after October 15. Applications for the month of December will not be accepted after October 31.
Expectations
You are expected to:
write a short statement of purpose (not more than 500 words).
upload an up-to-date resume in PDF format.
upload a writing sample on any policy issue. (not more than 1000 words) in PDF format.

India has accomplished a great deal since independence, and one of its biggest successes is its ability to develop its satellites, launch systems, and ground control technology for commercially launching not just Indian but also foreign satellites. ISRO now holds a monopoly on Indian space activities with the help of various industries, both private and public, providing services on a large scale. ISRO now employs over 17,000 people, and its yearly budget has increased to INR 100000 million (almost US$1.3 billion) from INR 60000 million five years ago1. Just like other industries, the legal industry helped in regulating laws related to outer space. The Constitution of India, 1950, the Satellite Communications Policy, 2000, and the updated Remote Sensing Data Policy, 2011 are the sole legislative frameworks that control India’s space sector.
Legislations Governing Space
Over the last 50 years, the ISRO has been at the forefront of pushing this industry, providing a variety of services ranging from navigation and communications to images, and facilitating a variety of social and economic activities. Although ISRO is considered to be the only governing body, India also has some policies regulating different issues under Space Law which are as follows:
Satellite Communication Policy, 19972 The Satellite Communication Policy of 1997 has as its goals the development of a satellite communications service business as well as the continued use and development of India’s capabilities in the areas of satellites, ground equipment design, and launch vehicles The issued guidelines and norms clarified the policy’s scope and emphasized the use and development of the INSAT network, as well as giving Indian satellites performing other critical functions preferential treatment to promote telecommunications, broadcasting, and meteorological services in India.
Remote Sensing Data Policy, 20113 According to the 2011 RSDP, satellite remote sensing data with a resolution of up to 1m can be obtained by obtaining a license from the DOS, but any request for satellite remote sensing data with a resolution of greater than 1m requires special clearance from the High-Resolution Image Clearance Committee (HIC) due to national security concerns. For the procurement of high-resolution photographs, the Indian government department is exempt from obtaining HIC approval.
Technology Transfer Policy It is a well-defined and methodical policy for the transfer of know-how of technologies and products generated by Indian Space Centres to Indian companies, as well as their commercial use concerning various space initiatives. To achieve significant industrial participation, it provides services relevant to space systems, such as communications, broadcasting, geospatial information, and manufacturing satellites and their components. It also allows for the licensing of technological know-how from various ISRO centers; as a result, about 300 technologies have been transferred to domestic companies too far.
Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe)4 The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) was authorized by the Union Cabinet on June 4, 2020, to offer a fair playing field for private market firms to exploit Indian space infrastructure. It intends to give the private sector a much-needed boost by assisting, advising, and encouraging private industry engagement in space operations through a rigorous and favorable regulatory system. Greater access to ISRO infrastructure, satellite data, facilities, scientific and technological resources, and other space assets would promote the socio-economic utilization of India’s space resources and expand space-based activities.
Significance of Indian Space Laws
In terms of launching prowess, India’s transition from reliance to self-sufficiency might make it the world’s launch pad. Other governments and multinational corporations have entered into official agreements with India to help them in their different space initiatives and launch satellites for them due to India’s cost-effective space programs. As a result of the introduction of commercialization, domestic laws such as contract, transfer of property, stamp tax, registration, insurance, and, most crucially, intellectual property rights must be revised to account for space-related difficulties. India is currently going slowly toward enacting accurate space legislation. The Space Activities Bill 2017 has been developed and is currently awaiting Parliamentary approval. By permitting commercial and non-governmental organizations to participate in space exploration, this measure would encourage, support, and regulate space operations in India.5
A manufacturing flaw in a spacecraft leaves it vulnerable to cyber-attacks and/or monitoring, resulting in a loss of personal privacy and data. To guarantee that proper cyber security measures are in place, rules and regulations following data protection laws must be developed.
Awais Ahmed, CEO of Pixel, which raised $5 million in seed funding in August said “India has many advantages in space technology, Indian companies will spend less both in terms of manufacturing and operating costs as compared to US companies, we have an enormous talent pool of engineers that we can tap into, and the VC ecosystem is warming up.” The rising global worry over space debris has even reached the United States. India is embroiled in an international controversy over debris from an Indian satellite that fell on a Japanese hamlet as it retraced its path back to Earth. India has a definite obligation to pay compensation for damage induced by its space object on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft in flight as a party to the 1972 Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects.
Concluding Observations
Indian space science has a lot of potential in establishing a strong connection with India’s Economic growth by adopting effective measures and upcoming policies which are going to change the perspective of the world on India’s Space Laws. Resilience in the space law is all the more important to support the expansion of the Indian space sector and allow private companies to participate in making India a space powerhouse. In line with Articles 51 and 253 of the Indian Constitution, India must enact legislation that would not only enable public-private partnerships and quick technical growth but also accelerate indigenization and manufacturing within the country. Also, the introduction of the India Draft Space Law Policy will widen the scope of development by allowing for the issue of a non-transferable license to individuals involved in commercial space activities. It also specifies appropriate licensing systems, eligibility requirements, and license prices.
Over twelve years, the competition has become one of the biggest moot court competitions in the country which consistently witnesses participation from the top law schools in India with more than 35 top law schools participating in 2021. The competition promises a challenging problem, high competition and excellent judging.
Participants will be provided with the opportunity to argue before an illustrious panel of judges, including judges from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and the Competition Commission of India.
