About the University

With the primary objective to evolve and impart comprehensive and interdisciplinary legal education that is socially relevant. University has made a name for itself in terms of quality legal research. It has several important Research projects to its credit such as Death Penalty project, project on impact and implementation of Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, UNDP Project on Access to Justice for Marginalized peoples etc.
About the Programme
Governance is considered as an important aspect for promoting environmental conservation and effective management of natural resources. With the advent of the 21st century, significant steps have been taken in the form of legally binding international conventions and soft law dealing with crucial environmental issues at the global level.
However, the key for dealing with modern day environmental challenges is effective environmental governance not just in the international arena but at the domestic level as well. India as a developing country with rich biodiversity and rapidly changing climate patterns is especially vulnerable to modern day environmental disasters and challenges such as air pollution, climate change, desertification etc.
There is an urgent need to address these challenges through effective environmental governance at the domestic level and bridge the policy gaps.
