I had the opportunity to be trained as an intern-trainee twice at CPCB. Summer internship at WQM-I division in 2018 and I completed my M.tech thesis at IPC-III division. The engineers/ scientist are highly educated. The one who has background in field Civil/environmental/chemical engineering will understand the working there very well. It totally depends in which division you are deployed at the time of training.

Dislikes

The division allocated to you will decide your fate. Only few division takes their intern seriously.

Powers should be decentratise at the level of Scientist -D onward ,liabilities should be fixup of the officersand strict action should be initiated in case of failure to discharge their responsibility so that concern officer can discharge their duties promptly n in due course of time.

Dislikes

Concern officers discharge their duties very carelessly don't want to point out the name of such officers because when they visit units seeking unwanted demands which affect the name of our apex organization.In this scame top officers also involve and pressurise the visiting officer during visit of units.

It's a government organisation, work primarily is to control pollution. It's an organization of repute and working with CPCB as a Environmental Consultant since last 3 years is a good experience, where I worked for Air Pollution control in Himachal Pradesh.

Dislikes

Government organisation, so no one is much concerned about project progress and implementation.
