FSSAI Internship 2022 Suspended! Details Inside

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had invited applications for its FSSAI Internship Scheme 2022 in the month of December 2021. This Internship was supposed to start from January 2022 but it has been postponed till further order due to the surge in cases of COVID-19 as well as increased detection of the Variant of Concern (VoC), “Omicron".

We understand this is disappointing news for all the students who had applied for this internship, but the students must not be demotivated as the internship will be organized again as soon as the Covid situation will be under control.
