“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela
Greetings from IDIA Mumbai!
Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) Mumbai Chapter is elated to invite you to its first Annual Workshop Event, “EUPHEUS’21”, a two-day comprehensive workshop session along with a Legal Quiz Competition.
THEME OF THE WORKSHOP:
“Public Interest Litigation”
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) amounts to litigation for the preservation of public interest. An individual or a group of persons can directly file PILs with the Supreme Court or High Courts. The practice of filing PILs has emerged as a vital constitutional remedy for even the most disadvantaged groups to attain justice. This workshop will help in getting to know your rights in an edifying manner.
