Alliance University, a name to reckon with in the higher education landscape in India, has been a forerunner in innovation and excellence. Be it teaching methodologies; adopting a student-centric approach; access to resources; or its outstanding intellectual capital, the University has constantly pursued quality in all its endeavors. One of the key highlights has been the hosting of seminars, conferences and conclaves in pertinent areas that require the best minds to come together and deliberate upon key issues and solutions therein.
Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, hosted the National Conference on Law and Social Transformation (NCLS 2021) virtually on March 6, 2021. The conference witnessed over 100 participants from 10 States and 26 institutions. In all over 73 research papers were presented and several dignitaries deliberated on various legal issues. The thought of organizing a National Conference on Law and Social transformation (NCLS-2021) virtually took roots with the desire to pay homage to legal legendary Mr. Nani Palkhivala, who was a champion of civil liberties, a far-sighted economic thinker and a par-excellence lawyer.
The aim was to celebrate his birth centenary, commemorating his scholarly contribution towards "the basic structure" doctrine.
Shri Ravi D. Channannavar IPS, Superintendent of Police, Bengaluru, Rural; Dr. Venkat Iyer, Director – Educational Partnerships and International Affairs and Professor, School of Law, Ulster University, UK; and Dr. Dilip Ukey, Vice-Chancellor, Maharashtra, National Law University, Mumbai, were invited as the ‘Guests of Honor’.
While Shri Ravi spoke about the role of law enforcement agencies for the social tranquil and the hampering effects of the growing trust deficit between social circles and law enforcement agencies, Dr. Venkat addressed the virtual gathering on the importance of synchronization of legal reforms and state of public opinion in bringing social transformations. Dr. Dilip spoke about the importance of social, economic, and political wellbeing of a nation with balance and checks created by strong set of laws. The importance of liberty, equality, integrity, and fraternity in conceptualizing a system based on justice to drive the ecosystem of seamless social transformations in a democracy.
While technical sessions were chaired by eminent academicians and practitioners, the conference book was also unveiled with great fervor. At the end of the conference, ‘Seven Best Papers Presenters’ and a ‘Best Research Paper Presenter’ were felicitated.
Alliance University is also gearing up for an upcoming conference on ‘Pure and Applied Sciences’ in June 2021. The journey of academic excellence and holistic transformation continues!
