Every year, thousands of students across India look for internships that offer more than a certificate. Therefore, the 1M1B Green Internship Program, supported by Salesforce, stands out, since it genuinely delivers real project work and mentorship. This year, 953 students participated nationally, building sustainability and climate focused projects under expert guidance. From that entire pool, only 30 students earned a place in the 1M1B Workplace Experience Program, a reward reserved exclusively for the strongest performers.

About the 1M1B Green Internship Program
1M1B, short for One Million for One Billion, runs several large scale programmes aimed at giving Indian students real world exposure to problem solving and sustainability work. The Green Internship Program sits at the centre of this effort. It invites students nationwide to take on live projects connected to climate action and clean energy, while receiving structured mentorship from industry professionals.
Salesforce backs this internship cycle, lending both funding and expert guidance to students as they build their projects from scratch. Unlike internships that simply assign tasks, this programme expects every participant to identify a genuine problem and design a workable solution. As a result, the programme attracts a large number of applicants every year, and standing out within it demands real, demonstrable effort rather than enthusiasm alone.
How the selection funnel actually works
Understanding the full funnel makes this achievement easier to appreciate. Many more students register interest than actually get to participate, since 1M1B filters applicants before the internship even begins. Once selected, 953 students across India took part in this batch’s cycle, each working on an independent project over several weeks. At the end of that period, the programme evaluates every project and shortlists the strongest 30 nationally, recognized as student changemakers for the Workplace Experience reward. This is the stage where seven FACEPrep students made the cut.
The Workplace Experience reward in the Green Internship Program
This stage is worth explaining clearly, since people often mistake it for a second, separate internship. In reality, the Workplace Experience Program works as a reward, given exclusively to the 30 strongest performers from the entire Green Internship pool nationally. There is no separate application for this stage. Instead, selection happens automatically based purely on performance during the internship itself.
Winning this reward means a fully sponsored trip to Bengaluru, scheduled this year from June 29 to July 4, 2026. During this week, selected students get direct exposure to a real corporate workplace, including interactions with industry professionals and access that students rarely get this early in their academic journey. Consequently, many participants describe this single week as one of the most influential experiences of their entire degree programme.
| The Workplace Experience Program is not a separate internship application. Rather, it is a reward automatically given to the top 30 performers nationally, based entirely on how well each student performed during the Green Internship Program itself. |
Meet the FACEPrep students who reached the final 30
Each of the seven FACEPrep students built a genuine project during their internship, tackling real problems across energy efficiency, carbon tracking, and renewable energy prediction. Their work reflects exactly the kind of practical, project driven thinking the programme rewards. Below are 7 of them, along with the projects that helped them stand out.

Notably, each of them comes from a different college and a different programme. Therefore, this was not a single classroom performing well together. Instead, it was seven individuals, trained separately, each clearing the same demanding national filter on their own merit.
Why the Green Internship Program result matters
Out of every student who joined this batch, only 30 earned the workplace reward nationally. Such an outcome rarely happens by chance, and it almost never happens to students who treat an internship as just another resume line. Instead, it happens to students who take the project seriously from week one and build something they can genuinely defend in front of evaluators.
At FACEPrep, this is precisely the outcome we work toward, well before any specific opportunity appears on a student’s radar. Specifically, we focus on building habits that matter when it counts: identifying a real problem, building a working solution, and presenting that work with confidence. Furthermore, seven students reaching the national top 30 independently, from different colleges, is the clearest evidence that this approach works consistently, not just occasionally.
