The credit-course will also help the students in better understanding of the crime in India.

This special course will not only infuse empathy and solidarity among our students but also provide them an opportunity to understand and learn how the law works in action.”

“ The Abolition of Bonded Labour Act was passed in 1976 but it is the responsibility of young lawyers and law students to ensure that the crime is completely abolished,” said Rao.

This credit course is the third special course introduced this year and it intends to help the law graduates in understanding the Supreme Court judgements on bonded labour, engage in discussion about rights and justice regarding labour laws, develop comprehension on the role of the judiciary in a bonded labour cases and appropriate outcome of  trials.
