About the Centre:
The Centre for Environmental Legal Studies (CELS) was established by the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab in 2016 as a research centre tasked with the responsibility of undertaking and encouraging discourse on the wide array of enviro-legal issues faced by humanity, at a domestic, regional and international level. CELS seeks to collaborate with various experts, leading academicians, legislators, and government authorities to raise awareness of environmental concerns and advance legal remedies for the same, while also endeavouring to contribute to the complex and multi-dimensional issues of enviro-legal policy in India.
About the Blog:
The blog initiated by the centre is an attempt to make people more aware and sensitive towards the environmental issues. It will be our sincere endeavour to highlight the significance of environment related topics through a synergy amidst social studies and legal domain. Our interdisciplinary research-based approach will strive to unravel creative solutions to the existing problems and to shape the popular opinion in the right direction by familiarising the paradigms of environmental jurisprudence through our blog. The initiative has been taken keeping in mind the wider audience which includes students, academicians, lawyers, judges and environmentalists. The motive of this blog is to stimulate healthy deliberations and discussions amongst the legal fraternity and the other fields along with facilitating the social cognizance of expediency in dealing with environmental matters.
