About the University

It is recognized by the University Grants Commission under Section 22 of UGC Act and accredited by the NAAC with grade ‘A+’.

About the Program

In India, the competition law framework has emerged from being governed by the erstwhile Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practice (MRTP) Act, of 1969 to the current Competition Act, of 2002. The MRTP Act was framed on the basis of socialistic ideas and philosophies which is an essential element of Directive Principles of State Policy. However, the MRTP Act did not envisage effective measures against the public sector companies and was unfairly more restrictive to the private sector. Therefore, The Competition Act, of 2002 was introduced to address the inadequacies of the MRTP Act.

The Programme would be graced by distinguished speakers including Academicians, Professors, Deans and Head of Institutes.
The Guest Speakers’ List includes Prof. (Dr.) T.S. Somashekar (Chairperson, Post-Graduate and Doctoral Council, NLSIU), Dr. Avinash Dadhich (Director, Manipal Law School), Adv. Dipti Lavya Swain (Founder & Managing Partner, DLS Law Offices), Prof. (Dr.) Harpreet Kaur, (NLU, Delhi), Vikram Srivastava, (Founder, Independent Thought NGO) and other distinguished speakers from all over India.
Speakers from the Competition Commission of India would also conduct 5-6 Sessions during the course of the Programme.
