Chandigarh Legal Conclave

Chandigarh Legal Conclave

Challenges and Future of water law in India

Join India’s most trusted legal brains and experts in chalking out programs and policies that will ensure the regulation of a rapidly disappearing natural resource that sustains the Earth: WATER.

Be part of the change which is essential to the future survival of India’s food, health and well being.

Even as the government tries to rise to the challenge, the Chandigarh Conclave will help establish a blueprint and road map for tackling the immensely complex legal, administrative and regulatory issues in order to find a viable solution to what is now recognized as a crisis of dangerous dimensions.

Beyond legislation and regulations that underpin water management, are the principles, policies, and legal framework that govern water management, including, plans and strategies of water managers and other stakeholders outlining infrastructure development, water rights laws, environmental protection, human rights laws, and research funding.

Water policy as such encompasses efforts to define the rules, intent, and instruments with which governments manage human uses of water, control water pollution, and meet environmental needs of this quintessential natural resource.

Public water policy occurs at all levels of government. The overarching legislative framework is typically developed at the national or state level, whereas management and operational aspects are implemented at the catchment level. We must also note that a variety of other policy issues have bearing on water policy and management - economic development, trade, land planning, agriculture, and energy policy.

Our History

Bengaluru Theme : Challenges , Future and Scope of Arbitration and Mediation in India

Although an emerging global powerhouse, India lags far behind most developed economies when it comes to ease of resolution of disputes, a key catalyst for economic growth. In our bid to emerge as a $5 trillion economy, it is imperative that we find ways to address the increasing judicial backlog ease the burden on courts and encourage investor confidence. While we search for newer and more efficient solutions, the case for bolstering alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, if there ever needed to be one, has never been stronger.

The laws relating to arbitration, mediation and conciliation have been on the statute books for over two decades now, but we are yet to fully reap their benefits. Recently, Parliament passed the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre Bill to set up an independent and autonomous regime for institutionalised domestic and international arbitration. But a considerable distance needs to be travelled if we are to turn India into an international arbitration hub competing with the likes of those in Singapore, London and Paris. With this conclave, India Legal aims to bring together various stakeholders to discuss and evaluate how this turnaround can be achieved.
