The ISPR Winter Internship Program 2026 is running across Pakistan, giving university students hands-on exposure to national security and defense operations.
ISPR Winter Internship 2026 Connects Youth with Defense Realities
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Winter Internship Program 2026 continues across multiple cities in Pakistan. Running from January 12 to February 20, 2026, the initiative brings together thousands of students to learn about national security, defense institutions, and the role of the armed forces.
Students take part in sessions, briefings, and field visits. These activities aim to bridge classroom learning with real-world defense work and build awareness of security matters.
Visits to Key Defense Sites
A group of students from Gwadar recently toured the Gwadar Naval Base and Marine Training Center. Naval officials explained maritime security issues, coastal monitoring systems, and daily duties in the Pakistan Navy. Participants saw modern equipment and facilities up close.
Students described the experience as valuable. They said the visits helped them see the practical side of naval defense and the challenges Pakistan faces at sea.
In another activity, around 150 students from universities in Quetta visited a shooting range and the Pakistan Gallery. Guides shared details on national history, past military successes, and current defense readiness. The group watched live demonstrations and asked questions about security needs.
Student Reactions and Broader Impact
Participants from both visits praised the program. They noted that it fosters a stronger sense of national duty and respect for the armed forces. Many thanked ISPR and the Pakistan military for arranging these opportunities.
One common view among the students: programs like this link theory to practice and help young people understand the work of defense institutions better.
Defense observers point out that connecting youth to these topics raises public understanding and trust in the country’s security setup. Such steps support a more informed and united society.
