Call for Blogs

Kautilya Society of HNLU is currently inviting call for blogs for its Nitisara Blogspace. The Kautilya Society at HNLU is a student-led policy think tank committed to exploring the intersections of law, society, and public policy. As an emerging platform for policy discourse within and beyond the legal fraternity, Kautilya Society aims to foster informed debate, critical thinking, and impactful writing on issues of contemporary relevance.

With its expanding presence through research initiatives, surveys, and collaborations, the Society is now opening up its blog to contributions from students, researchers, and policy enthusiasts across the country.

We invite original, well-reasoned, and insightful blog submissions that align with our objective of furthering public engagement on legal and policy issues.

6. A second round of review will be conducted after the first stage, followed by the final publication.
7. Withdrawal of submission before the end of the stipulated 7-day review period or post communication of acceptance is not permitted. We reserve the right to cease collaboration with respective contributors, if they do so.
