ABOUT THE RSRR BLOGS
RSRR, in 2017, began with its Blog Series to provide a platform for critically analysing contemporary
and unexplored legal issues

CALL FOR BLOGS
The RSRR Blog Series invites submissions from students, academicians, lawyers and other
professionals from the legal fraternity on the theme “A Year After Catastrophe: Looking into the
Budget Session, 2021”.
A year after the global ravage forced by the novel Coronavirus, world economies continue to find
strategies to overcome financial as well as other ramifications brought by the virus. In this backdrop,
the Indian Parliament has witnessed certain strong and promising measures introduced with the annual
Budget. The onset of 2021 witnessed 137% increase in the health budget, with the determination to
fight the pandemic as an underlying driving force. Besides this, the ongoing Budget session also
witnessed the introduction of certain pertinent bills dealing with diverse arenas of law, in the
Parliament.

By the means of this Series, we intend to initiate a dialogue on these upcoming Bills amongst the
potential stakeholders and the legal fraternity. The aim is to create a platform to bring about legal as
well as policy analysis of these upcoming Bills (tabled/yet to be introduced or passed) in the context
of the larger debate surrounding the modification of the Indian legal regime in 2021. The authors are
encouraged to put forward the potential effects and constructive solutions for issues associated with
the Bills
