Period​ ​of​ ​internship

An​ ​internship​ ​was​ ​done​ ​at​ ​Meat​ ​products​ ​of​ ​India​ ​Ltd.​ ​Edayar,​ ​Koothattukulam.​ ​The
organisation​ ​ ​was​ ​chosen​ ​for​ ​its​ ​unique​ ​existence​ ​and​ ​performance​ ​as​ ​a​ ​public​ ​undertaking.​ ​The
internship​ ​was​ ​done​ ​from​ ​5-12-2017​ ​to​ ​31-12-2017.​ ​The​ ​summer​ ​internship​ ​was​ ​aimed​ ​to​ ​make
the​ ​student​ ​aware​ ​of​ ​the​ ​various​ ​transactions​ ​happening​ ​in​ ​the​ ​company​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​to​ ​share​ ​the
work​ ​of​ ​the​ ​main​ ​employees​ ​with​ ​in​ ​ONE​ ​MONTH.​ ​Thus​ ​the​ ​practical​ ​knowledge​ ​of​ ​the​ ​intern
becomes​ ​significantly​ ​improved​ ​within​ ​the​ ​specified​ ​period​ ​by​ ​sharing​ ​ ​ ​the​ ​various​ ​works.​ ​By
the​ ​specified​ ​time​ ​duration,​ ​the​ ​intern​ ​becomes​ ​efficient​ ​to​ ​handle​ ​various​ ​tasks​ ​by​ ​utilising
his/her​ ​practical​ ​knowledge​ ​received​ ​from​ ​the​ ​firm​ ​by​ ​playing​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​role​ ​in​ ​accomplishing
various​ ​projects​ ​which​ ​are​ ​showered​ ​over​ ​him/her​ ​.​ ​The​ ​one​ ​month​ ​give​ ​the​ ​student​ ​a​ ​golden
opportunity​ ​to​ ​expose​ ​the​ ​inborn​ ​managerial​ ​talents​ ​in​ ​front​ ​of​ ​the​ ​concerned​ ​management​ ​of
the​ ​company​ ​and​ ​thereby​ ​creates​ ​an​ ​element​ ​of​ ​credence​ ​on​ ​the​ ​budding​ ​managers.

Every​ ​academic​ ​project​ ​and​ ​other​ ​studies​ ​extend​ ​an​ ​opportunity​ ​for​ ​the​ ​student​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​and
work​ ​with​ ​some​ ​other​ ​peers​ ​from​ ​other​ ​academic​ ​institutions​ ​.​ ​My​ ​internship​ ​made​ ​me​ ​to​ ​work
with​ ​one​ ​interns​ ​;there​ ​enormous​ ​support​ ​and​ ​cooperation​ ​also​ ​helped​ ​me​ ​to​ ​accomplish​ ​my
predetermined​ ​intentions.
