The Centre for Law and Society, Gujarat National Law University has great pleasure in announcing the 2nd edition of the GNLU Essay Competition on Law and Society, 2017, a national-level essay competition being organized under the able guidance of Prof. Upendra Baxi, in collaboration with the Chambers of Ratan K. Singh. Women, as the architects of society, hold the key to progress in a developing country like India. Their rights and duties, assimilated and crystallized within the framework of legislations and welfare schemes, mirror their status in the society. Recent amendments in laws related to women are slated to effect a metamorphosis in the social dynamics that require a thorough understanding of their newfound role in the society. In order to encourage further research and reflections along these lines in the Indian context, the Law and Society Wing of the Centre is organizing the 2nd edition of the essay competition on the theme “Toward Empowering The Indian Woman: Legal Reforms And Implementation”. The following sub-themes have been identified as requiring academic consideration in the Indian context:
