ABOUT THE COURSE
The topic of data protection has become extremely relevant with the passing of time. The coming of Covid-19 has once again demonstrated the fact that Indians are becoming huge generators of data.

India is now coming up with a new approach to data protection. After almost two years, the report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee ('JPC') on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 was finally released on December 16, 2021.
