About the Organization

National Law University Delhi is one of the leading law universities in the country. The primary objective of the University is to evolve and impart comprehensive and interdisciplinary legal education that is socially relevant.

Through this education, we aim to promote legal and ethical values and foster the rule of law and the objectives enshrined in the Constitution of India. Furthermore, the University works toward dissemination of legal knowledge and its role in national development, so that the ability to analyse and present contemporary issues of public concern and their legal implications for the benefit of the public is improved.

About the Grant

National Law University Delhi has instituted a research grant programme that seeks to provide two annual research grants of Rs. 5 lakhs per annum each to academics and researchers based in any Indian institution/ organisation. There are no limitations on the current field of work in which applicants are engaged and neither are there limitations on the themes or areas of study, as long as the research proposals engage with law/ legal institutions/ legal cultures/ legal policy through doctrinal/ empirical/ sociolegal/ social science methods. Proposals that seek to employ STEM research methods are also encouraged provided the proposal at its core furthers perspectives to better understand the law/ legal institutions/ legal cultures/ legal policy.

Program Objective:

This research grant programme aims to develop high quality research that delivers a deeper understanding of law/ legal institutions/ legal cultures/ legal policy on their own terms as well as through interaction with other fields. The University’s endeavour is to promote innovative research projects that contribute to the advancement of legal scholarship as well as interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarship that has significant bearing on law/ legal institutions/ legal cultures/ legal policy. The proposals may focus on studying and understanding complex challenges through purely legal scholarship or by leveraging interdisciplinary/ multidisciplinary approaches.
