SLPC has previously channelised dialogues highlighting the emerging concerns in the domain of sports law and policy internationally with relevance to India and endeavoured to encourage deeper engagement with these issues for the benefit of the sports ecosystem in the country.
The fifth edition of the symposium will be centred on women's sport with a focus on women's cricket and the flagship #EqualHueProject which aims to offer suggestions on improving excellence in Indian women's cricket and on creating a structure that supports the personal empowerment of players.
