RSRR Blog Series invites submissions on the theme “A Year After Catastrophe: Looking into the Budget Session, 2021” from students, academicians, lawyers, and other professionals from the legal fraternity.
About Call for Blogs
A year after the global ravage forced by the novel Coronavirus, world economies continue to find strategies to overcome financial as well as other ramifications brought by the virus. In this backdrop, the Indian Parliament has witnessed certain strong and promising measures introduced with the annual Budget. The onset of 2021 witnessed a 137% increase in the health budget, with the determination to fight the pandemic as an underlying driving force. Besides this, the ongoing Budget Session also witnessed the introduction of certain pertinent bills dealing with diverse areas of law, in the Parliament.
By the means of this Series, we intend to initiate a dialogue on these upcoming Bills amongst the potential stakeholders and the legal fraternity. The aim is to create a platform to bring about legal as well as policy analysis of these upcoming Bills (tabled/yet to be introduced or passed) in the context of the larger debate surrounding the modification of the Indian legal regime in 2021. The authors are encouraged to put forward the potential effects and constructive solutions for issues associated with the Bills.
