FUTURE ACTIVITIES


19


The following activities have been planned by the Department:

I. NATIONAL SEMINAR ON “THE ROLE OF COMPETITION LAW IN NEW ECONOMY:

ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES” ON APRIL 23, 2016

Department of Law and Department of Management are jointly organizing the one-day National Seminar

on April 23, 2016 which will focus on Competition Law as an instrument for accelerating growth through

innovation and economic efficiencies thus maximizing consumer welfare by offering better products at

reasonable prices. Competition is irrefutably beneficial for every market participant. Competitive markets

give consumers wider choices and quality product services. It gives sellers stronger incentives to minimize

their costs through innovation and other productivity enhancing techniques. This enables firms to pass

on cost savings to the customers and offer better products. There are many issues that need to be discussed

to achieve the enshrined objectives of the Competition Act, 2002. An over-whelming response has been

received from academicians, practitioners and students from reputed universities and institutions

from all over the nation. 40 abstracts have been short-listed for presentation of papers in the

National Seminar. With this background, following sub-themes have been recognized for the Seminar:

1. Competition Law and Policy – National and International Perspectives

2. Mergers/Acquisitions and Competition Law

3. Intellectual Property Rights and Competition Law

4. Competition Law and International Trade

5. Cross Border Competition Issues

6. Competition Policy in Agriculture

7. Competition Policy in Service Sector

8. Abuse of Dominant Position and Competition Law

CHIEF GUEST AND KEY SPEAKER

A request was sent to the Competition Commission of India for sending a representative for the National

Seminar and Mr. Kuldeep Kumar, Deputy Director (Law), CCI India has been nominated as the Key

Speaker and Chief Guest.

II. INTRA-UNIVERSITY MOOT COURT COMPETITION

Intra-University Moot court Competition is an effort to impart training to the students in the skill of

mooting and prepare them for inter-college competitions. It also aims at teaching them the court etiquettes.

In pursuance of these aims an intra college Moot Court Competition is planned to be organized in the

Moot Court Hall of the University.

III. COURT VISIT

the permission from the Hon’ble Court, the students will be taken to visit the premises of the Court. Court

visit is important for law students as watching real cases help them in analyzing on why the law is the way

it is and also helps in improving the approach to academic work.
