ABOUT PROJECT KUTUMB

Project KUTUMB is a flagship outreach programme by the National Law University Odisha, launched in 2022, that aims to transform adopted communities into child-friendly settlements by improving access to education, health, and legal awareness. The project uses a rights-based and community-driven approach, focusing on strengthening local institutions and empowering families to create sustainable, locally-led child protection systems. It works in areas like Braja Beharipur, Baba Tilkanagar, and Valmiki Nagar to implement initiatives aligned with India’s Mission Vatsalya mandate.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The Double Credit Course titled “Contemporary Developments in Family Law and Juvenile Justice” under Project KUTUMB aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of family law and juvenile justice in India, with particular emphasis on modern reforms, judicial interpretations, and socio-legal challenges emerging from non-traditional familial relationships. The course seeks to bridge theoretical perspectives with contemporary realities, analysing legislative amendments, landmark judgments, and policy measures that continue to redefine the framework of Indian family law and juvenile justice. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a nuanced appreciation of how Indian family law is adapting to modern social realities while balancing constitutional values, individual rights, and societal welfare. This course is ideal for law students, researchers, academicians and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of family law and juvenile justice in the contemporary context and to engage meaningfully with ongoing legal and social transformations.
