Global meet on law, religion from November 24

For the first time in undivided Dakshina Kannada district, a city-based law college will host a conference in association with a foreign university.

This is the fourth of such international conferences. While the first conference was held in Delhi, the last conference was held in the Czech Republic. This conference is useful for law students in this region because they do not get many opportunities to attend conferences related to law. The presence of only four law colleges in the two coastal districts minimises opportunities to take part in academic events of this nature. 
 

Apart from delegates of different Indian universities, delegates from 22 foreign universities will be taking part. Students, research scholars and teaching faculties will discuss topics ranging from conflicts related to religion in India to religious and traditional values to diverse aspects of religion and laws related to different religions. 
 

BK Ravindra, principal of SDM Law College, told TOI that the aim of organising the conference is to provide better understanding of Indian culture, religion and laws to foreign students. 
 

Eminent personalities like former chief justice of Punjab Rama Jois, Member of Parliament Ram Jethmalani will take part in the conference.
