Digital Fellowship - 2022 at NLU Delhi

Contetnt:

With increasing internet penetration and the rapid increase of internet users in the country, digital rights have become a core focus within the ambit of the protection of fundamental rights. In the last few years, there have been several important judicial pronouncements stemming from digital rights litigation, whether it was the landmark Puttaswamy I judgement upholding the fundamental right to privacy in the Indian Constitution, or the more recent Anuradha Bhasin judgement which clarified that the right to freedom of expression online was a fundamental right. However, several vital questions relating to freedom of expression and privacy in the digital age are yet to be clarified by the courts. These cases will define India’s digital rights landscape for at least the next decade, if not longer. However, digital rights litigation in India is currently facing significant challenges including constraints in terms of research capacity and domain expertise. To address these issues, CCG is excited to announce the second edition of the DIGITAL Fellowship in 2022.
 

The Fellowship has the following objectives –
● To support the development of digital rights by providing high quality legal and research support in cases relating to digital rights.
● To engage in and produce legal and policy research around the theme of digital rights.
● To build an inclusive and mutually supportive digital rights and technology policy community in India with a long term vision for shaping the development of law and policy in this domain in India. 

All applications must be submitted by December 28, 2021, 11:59 PM IST.
