One-Day National E-Conference on Competition Law, Symbiosis Law School

Symbiosis Law School (SLS) are inviting candidates for their one-day national E-Conference on Competition Law scheduled to be held on November 28th. About the Institute The idea of ‘Symbiosis’ is nurtured by Dr. S. B. Mujumdar on the principles of Vedic thought ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ which means ‘World as One Family’. Symbiosis Law School (SLS) Hyderabad was established in 2014 inheriting splendid novelty, dynamism and excellence in the education of Symbiosis International University, Pune. About the Centre Established in 2018, the Centre for Corporate and Competition Law (CCCL) is a student-run centre aiming to provide a platform for students of the institute to explore and learn more about the nuances of Corporate and Competition Law. To advance our agenda, CCCL has been successful in conducting multiple landmark events in the history of our institute, which has carved a niche corner for our centre within the legal fraternity. Amongst others, CCCL conducted our flagship event, the first- ever National Corporate Restructuring Competition in India in 2019.

Singh, Joint Secretary for Law at CCI conduct webinars on relevant topics. About the Conference In the modern economy, the corporate sector has been assigned the leadership for ensuring the growth process. To carry forward the growth, the companies in India require a conducive legal environment with appropriate corporate and commercial laws. The developed countries and the transnational economic institutions like WTO need to have an ease of business and trade to work in. By taking giant steps, India has moved into the top 100 rankings in the World Bank’s ‘Doing Business 2019’ fact sheet. Laws and regulations governing the incorporation and running of business is undergoing rapid change. The impetus for such flux came from changes in the world economy, advancements in information technology and the opening of world economy. While at some points, regulations need to provide more flexibility, at others, there is a need for strengthening the laws.

National Conference on Tribal Transition in India: Issues, Challenges and the Road Ahead, HNLU

HNLU in collaboration with Tribal Research and Training Institute, Government of Chhattisgarh and Thakur Pyarelal State Institute of Panchayat and Rural Development is organizing a two-day National Conference on Tribal Transition in India: Issues, Challenges and the Road Ahead that is scheduled on 26-27 November 2021. About HNLU Hidayatullah National Law University (HNLU) was established under the Hidayatullah National University of Law, Chhattisgarh, Act, (No. 10 of 2003). It is recognized by the University Grants Commission u/s 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956 and also by the Bar Council of India u/s 7 (1) of the Advocates Act, 1961. HNLU ranked 5th in India Today Ranking 2021 and 51-100 on crisis management during COVID by the World’s Universities with Real Impact (WURI) Ranking 2021 and 201-300 among the innovative and emerging Universities by WURI is set to scale new benchmarks in the years to come. About TRTI Keeping in view the population of Scheduled Tribes in the state of Chhattisgarh, Tribal Research and Training Institute (TRTI) was established in the year 2004 under the centrally sponsored scheme by the State Government. The institute conducts research work and surveys on the socio- economic, culture, language and life of Tribals. About TPSIPRDThakur Pyarelal State Institute of Panchayat & Rural Development (TPSIPRD) is the premier Institute under the Department of Panchayat & Rural Development, Government of Chhattisgarh. It was established in year 2002 with the main objective of building the capacity of the Panchayati Raj Institutions, functionaries and members of the civil society organizations engaged in rural development. About the Conference Tribals constitute 8.6% of total population of India. Albeit their profound culture and traditional knowledge, a vast majority of the Tribals stay at the low stratum of the society. Decades of development have prompted a reformist disintegration of the conventional rights over their traditional assets including the forest. This can be suitably attributed to the lacunae in the law and flaws in execution. Against this backdrop, Hidayatullah National Law University in collaboration with TRTI and TPSIPRD is organizing a Two-Day National Conference on “Tribal Transition in India: Issues, Challenges and the Road Ahead” on 26-27 November, 2021. The present conference is intended to provide a platform to discuss and deliberate the theme in detail during the technical sessions followed by the Panel Discussions being chaired by subject-matter experts. Rationale of the Conference In the historical backdrop, the tribal identity has experienced numerous changes and challenges. The powers of globalization which entered in to their ancestral world with dynamic state support have added torments in the existence of the clans. Even after seventy years of planned development, the financial state of clans has not improved and tribal regions are considered as under developed in our country. Advancement measures in the tribal regions should consist of bringing harmony among safeguarding ancestral identity, culture and qualities, while expanding and guaranteeing their admittance to standard educational facilities, wellbeing and vocation. Feeble land record frameworks, destitution, ignorance and exploiation have brought about persistent drainage of assets thereby prompting pauperization of tribal communities. Theme and Objectives Hidayatullah National Law University Raipur in collaboration with Tribal Research & Training Institute, Government of Chhattisgarh and Thakur Pyarelal State Institute of Panchayat & Rural Development, is organizing two-day National Conference on “Tribal Transition in India: Issues, Challenges and the Road Ahead” on 26-27 November, 2021.
