Hi BalRagopal,
The Apprentices Act in India primarily governs the hiring and training of apprentices in various trades and sectors, but it does not mandate that all organizations must appoint interns. Instead, the Act outlines the framework for apprenticeship training, which is different from traditional internships.
Internships may exist independently of the Apprentices Act and can be established by companies to provide practical experience for students or recent graduates. While apprenticeships are a formalized program often linked to a specific trade and may involve a contract, internships can be more flexible and may or may not come with a formal agreement.
So, to clarify, it is not mandatory to appoint interns under the Apprentices Act. Organizations may choose to offer internships as part of their recruitment or training strategy, but it is not a legal requirement.
Thanks

The rules and regulations for training of apprentices is dealt by “THE APPRENTICES ACT, 1961”, read with “Apprenticeship Rules, 1992”, (central rules).
Application of act: This act applies to whole of India including Jammu and Kashmir.
Under sec 8, As per basic scheme of the Apprentices Act, every employer is required to provide training to apprentice. Apprentice under the act means a person who is undergoing apprenticeship training in pursuance of a contract of apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship training means a course of training in any industry or establishment undergone in pursuance of a contract of apprenticeship and under prescribed terms and conditions which may be different for different categories of apprentices. Employer means any person who employs one or more other persons to do any work in an establishment for remuneration and includes any person entrusted with the supervision and control of employees in such establishment. Establishment includes any place where any industry is carried on and where an establishment consists of different departments or have branches, whether situated in the same place or at different places, all such departments or branches shall be treated as part of the establishments.
To provide practical training in various trades to qualified persons including engineers and diploma holders.
-To meet the increasing demand for skill craftsmen.
-To utilize facilities available for training apprentices.
-To promote of new manpower skill.
Therefore, internship is nothing but to understand as Apprentice Training as per the Act. We want to take shelter by using ornamental words to defeat the rules in disguise by using different terms.

Engaging any Interns in an organisation has nothing to do with Apprenticeship under the act. Both are different. Generally Internship is part of one's curriculum which nowadays gaining importance with the introduction of compulsory internship in Engg., Law courses. As you all know while medical curriculum is the first and foremost to encompass Internship (paid, on the job training in a hospital for 1 yr.) to qualify for MBBS after completion of 5 academic years, followed by Nursing (4y+6m), Law and now Engg. courses. CA course also required such type of paid Interns who are known as 'Articled Assistants or clerk or Articles'.
On the other hand Apprenticeship does not form part of any curriculum, an optional training, mostly in technical stream, as far as I know. Say after ITI or Diploma courses. Apprentices are engaged to undergo practical, hands-on training, paid stipend as per the act
