About Indian Institute of Technology,Kharagpur
“Yoga Karmashu Kaushalam” is the ingrained letter in the insignia of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, which is the oldest IIT in this country. This literally means, “Excellence in action is Yoga”, which signifies its tenacity towards tradition and modernity. This determination of the institute is evident in its research outputs, placement drives and overall development of its student, teacher, and non-teaching community. “Dedicated to the service of the Nation” is the institute’s motto; imbibing this spirit, the institute has initiated courses in a field other than that of technology, viz; Law, Management, Social Sciences and Medical Sciences. This is pertinent for the wholesome growth of the Nation.

Realizing the ever widening application of ‘law’ and to neutralize the ongoing intrigue and bickering challenges taking place all through, it has been inevitable to revisit ‘the structural and operational facets’ of law and to draw inference for innovative research. In this regard, the RGSOIPL is organizing a two-day National Colloquium on Legal Research. The colloquium will provide an outstanding forum for legal researchers, who are interested to pursue their carer in academics and research. This colloquium will provide a unique platform for intensive deliberations on various aspects of research and methodology with leading academicians.

The prime objective of the colloquium is to enable the participants to relook at their research problem and approach it with better scientific temper. The colloquium intends to acquaint participants with different facets, dynamics, and emerging trends in legal research and methodology from the stage of formulation of a research problem to report writing and to equip them with the requisite skills to (re)shape their research problem (if necessary), pursue it in a systematic and effective manner and present it in an impressive manner.
