These discriminations grow with this thought and I strongly believe that our thoughts should be gender neutral,” shared the minister. She also emphasized that unless people change their perceptions, laws and acts won’t bring about a change or be effective.

Sinha Vice Chancellor, Himalayan Garhwal University shared how such conclaves provide a lively environment to students to learn about law at Amity University. “The field of law has become extremely interesting as criminals have become active and have been challenging us. The government is giving us ample opportunities to be active and productive in the areas we have chosen. The faith in the legal profession must be there,” shared Professor Sinha.
