Communications Intern (Virtual) at Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy: Apply by Feb 24!

About Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy:

The Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy (‘Vidhi’) is an independent think-tank doing legal research to make better laws and improve governance for the public good. We do this through high quality, peer reviewed original legal research; through engaging with the Government of India, State governments and other public institutions to both inform policy-making and to effectively convert policy into law; and through strategic litigation petitioning courts on important law and policy issues. Our abiding values are non-partisan engagement, research excellence and independence.

The idea of Vidhi came about in 2009-10 when India was caught up in the controversy around the Indo-US nuclear liability bill. We were a group of graduate students who felt that there was room for significant improvement in the bill and sent in an unsolicited report to the standing committee of the Parliament. Many of our suggestions were accepted by the standing committee and the Government of India and are the law of the land.

This approach is at the core of Vidhi – to do high-quality law and policy research and engage with key stakeholders to drive real change. It has been an incredible journey so far where we have contributed significantly to a range of reforms, such as the creation of the new bankruptcy ecosystem, drafting of the data protection bill, repealing of 119 laws that discriminate against persons affected by leprosy etc. and intend to continue to deepen our impact.
