The interns earn a stipend of Rs 4,000, but have their meals and travel costs taken care of. At work, Raghuveer and Ajit Shetty, 19, who live a few doors apart in Ambedkar Nagar, have mostly worked in the travel department. Ajit underwent a personality change, says his mother Tamilselvi, 35, a single parent who works as a domestic help. The first batch, comprising Ajit, Raghuveer and a girl, joined on December 1, 2015. Gunjan Singh, general manager at JM Baxi’s travel department, says the interns she has supervised have grown tremendously, from dress to speech.
