About Dr. Priyanka Anand

Dr. Priyanka Anand is a distinguished Associate Professor of Law at the National Law University Odisha (NLUO), Cuttack. With an impressive academic background, Dr. Anand holds a Ph.D. in Law from The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. Her doctoral thesis, “Constitutional Review of National Security Legislations in India: Analyzing the Judicial Approach,” showcases her profound expertise in constitutional law and national security. She earned her LL.M. in Corporate Law and Governance from NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, where she topped her specialization, and her B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) from Chanakya National Law University, Patna, where she was a university topper with the second rank.

Dr. Anand’s primary research interests lie in Taxation Laws and Gender Laws. Her scholarly contributions include numerous publications in prestigious national and international journals on topics such as global minimum corporate tax, internet access as a human right, investor-state arbitration, and various facets of gender and social discrimination. Her edited book, “Socio-Legal Androcentrism and Gender Inequalities,” published by Eastern Book Company, is a testament to her commitment to addressing gender issues through legal scholarship.

At NLUO, Dr. Anand teaches a wide range of subjects, including Direct Taxation, Corporate Taxation, International Taxation, Indirect Tax Laws, and Personal Law. Her courses are known for integrating theoretical knowledge with practical insights, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of complex legal issues. She has also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Human Rights Law Journal at NLUO, further contributing to the academic community’s discourse on critical human rights issues.

Dr. Anand’s dedication to gender equity is reflected in her active engagement with the National Commission for Women (NCW). She has spearheaded several NCW-sponsored initiatives, including national seminars on the efficiency and effectiveness of Mahila Thanas (women’s police stations), women’s roles in corporate decision-making, and challenges faced by sex workers and their children. Her leadership in these areas highlights her commitment to improving the status and rights of women in India.

Additionally, Dr. Anand has directed an NCW-sponsored project on conducting a Women Safety Audit in Tier-II cities of India, focusing on Asansol, West Bengal. This project, completed in July 2024, underscores her ongoing efforts to enhance women’s safety and security in urban areas.
