Mr Apoorv and Mr Gaurav of the CivicDataLab were present in the session to share their valuable insights on the area with the faculty members and students present there.

The session was open to the students of the University, with special emphasis to students enrolled in the Child Rights (Seminar Course) and other students associated with various Centres of the University, keeping in the mind the need and importance of data-based research in the field.

The session was attended by the Prof Ved Kumari, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of the University and esteemed faculty members who shared their views on data-based research in India and its future potential in legal policy. Prof Ved termed the session as the ‘perfect starting point’ in the run up to the 9th Conference of the International Society for Child Indicators, which is going to be held in the University in February 2024. She emphasized on the significance of the event for future research that the students and alumni are going to perform in the area of child rights.
