About KIIT University

KIIT started as a modest vocational education institute in 1992 in

rented premises in Bhubaneswar. By 1997 (considered as the base

year) it commenced graduate programmes in Engineering and

postgraduate programmes in Computer Applications and

Management. The excellent academic ambience, quality faculty,

adherence to strict academic rigor and plethora of other academic

activities led to grant of university status to the institute by

Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India in the year 2004 just within six

years (1997-2004) of its inception.

KIIT, now, is a multi-disciplinary University respected worldwide

due to its rich educational culture of excellence. Research and

innovation feed into the courses, encouraging the students to think

critically and creatively. Its cosmopolitan campus is proud to have

more than 25,000 students from all corners of India and

diverse multi-cultural community mingles and meets to study and

relax together. Student community of the University is highly

disciplined due to its student friendly policies. KIIT University

sprawls over 25 sq. km. area with one million square meters

of aesthetically constructed built up area. There are 28

constituent schools, contiguously located in impeccably

landscaped and modern-technology-enabled campuses offering

graduate, post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral programmes

in a wide range of disciplines. The institute's solemn academic

ambience has led to grant of A-Category status to it by the

Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India, placing it among the most elite

universities of the country. It is accredited by NAAC of UGC in 'A

Grade'.

ABOUT KIIT SCHOOL OF LAW

KIIT School of Law was established by KIIT University in 2007 to

meet the growing demand for legal professionals in the wake of

globalization and rapid expansion of India’s economy. Academic

programmes of the School are recognized and approved by the Bar

Council of India (BCI), the apex body regulating the legal education

in India, and UGC. At present, KSOL is the only law school in India

having specialized honors courses in Business Law, Constitutional

Law, International Law, Crime & Criminology, Intellectual Property

Law, Taxation Law and Human Rights Law.

Legal education is multidimensional-it requires not only

procedural skills but also a deep understandings in various

epistemologies. For this reason, double degree integrated courses

like Law and Management or Law and Social Sciences or Law and

Natural Sciences are becoming popular and assuming much

importance in the corporate world. Legal studies are now mixed

with management or scientific analytical skills to advance the

rational judicial system. The curricula of KSOL has evolved upon

these paradigms. As an institution of excellence, scholarship and

rigor, KSOL is dedicated to nurturing students into leaders

inculcating in them the intellectual and ethical values that will mold

them into socially responsible professional proficient in the

dynamic domain of law.

KIIT SOCIETY OF LAW AND TECHNOLOGY Around 4000 BC our ancestors gave us the 1st basic definition of

technology which was the invention of tools and techniques to

insulate our battered life from hardship as far as possible. In 19th

century the definition of law by Savigny stated that the law is the rule

whereby an invisible borderline is fixed within which the being and

the activity of each individual obtains a secure and free space. Now as

we stand on the cusp of the 21st century and combine the above two

definitions together with the present technologically advanced

society, we have to draw an invisible borderline to ensure

technological growth and advancement while at the same time have

the activity of technology secured and a strict check upon the

technological misuse which includes nuclear energy misuse, cyber-

crimes and many more, which number among the greatest threats

affecting individuals and property in every country of the world. KIIT

Society of Law and Technology was formulated to assess these

upcoming emerging law fields, and help the students to understand

the crux of law and technology combined.

About the Conference

“I tell the world, ‘Make in India’. Sell anywhere but manufacture here. We

have the skill and talent for it,” said Narendra Modi during his maiden

speech as PM on August 15th, 2014.

Make in India launched on 25th September 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra

Modi is an initiative of the Government of India to encourage multinational

and domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. The Make

in India program contains major new initiatives which have been specially

designed to aid investment, protect intellectual property, foster innovation,

and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure and also to focus on job

creation and skill enhancement in twenty five sectors of the economy. This

initiative of the government hopes to increase GDP growth and tax revenue

and also to attract capital and technological investment in India. Make in

India is PM Narendra Modi’s ambitious plan to make India a manufacturing

superpower.

India, the second most populous country in the world have around 1.252

billion people as our human resource, yet the country’s Gross Domestic

Product (GDP) is 7th as per the current prices and in terms of Human

Development Index (HDI) the nation’s rank is 135th all over the world.

Working under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of

India, the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion which was

established in the year 1995 was merged with the Department of Industrial

Development in 2000. This department is responsible for formulation and

implementation of promotional and developmental measures for growth of

the industrial sector and also for intellectual property rights relating to

patents, design, trademarks etc.

Today in the twenty first century law and technology are intertwined

in certain areas. Merging of technology and law raises interesting

techno-legal issues that are not easy to handle and often raises

conflict. ‘Make in India’ aims to increase intellectual inventions in the

nation and their sale outside. These inventions should be protected

by a ‘shroud of law’ and fair practices should be employed. This

conference to be held aims to make people critically analyze the

‘Make in India’ policy from a techno-legal perspective, to recognize

the efficiency of the policy, appreciate the merits and find out ways to

overcome the shortcomings.

Reading makes a full man, conference a

ready man, and writing an exact man.
