Kautilya Society, RMLNLU: Article Writing Competition [Submit By 25th December]

Kautilya Society, a dynamic subdivision of the "Vidhi" framework, serves as a progressive policy and law society within the college, drawing inspiration from the ancient Indian economist and philosopher. The society's primary goal is to foster a comprehensive understanding of contemporary policy issues, engaging students in critical analysis and innovative problem-solving. Its comprehensive approach involves various platforms, including insightful blogs, engaging podcasts that facilitate a deeper understanding of complex legal concepts, and independent projects that promote academic inquiry and creativity. Moreover, the society collaborates with reputable law firms and policy think tanks to conduct in-depth research projects, allowing students to contribute to real-world policy development and analysis.

The blog writing competition conducted by the Kautilya Society would allow the participants to ponder upon the broader policy themes with contemporary relevance. Such themes along with their sub-themes are directed by society to get a concrete viewpoint on that issue. The competition would not only delve into the legal issues of these themes but the overarching applicability of the proposed legal positions in the realm of policymaking.
