About the Organizer and Seminar
The National University of Advanced Legal Studies, formerly National Institute for Advanced Legal Studies, is a uni-disciplinary university in Kochi, India for undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate legal education. It is the only National Law University in the state of Kerala.
The National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi is organizing a three-day National Seminar on Citizenship and the Indian Constitution on March 5th, 6th and 7th, 2020.
Since the passing of The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the entire country engaged in continuous debate and discussion over the various provisions of the same. CAA and NRC are the most discussed terms for the past few months. The proposal of nationwide National Register of Citizens updating exercise has been a cause of panic among people as the exercise may make them lose their citizenship if they are unable to provide the proof of citizenship.
The seminar consists of a paper presentation on various themes given below, touching upon the Constitution and Citizenship, and an international colloquium on the subject by dignitaries in the field of law, politics, journalism, activism and academia. The seminar intends to provide an enhanced understanding on issues relating to citizenship, seen due to the changes made in the legal framework in India.
