The National Law University Odisha being established by an Act of Odisha Legislature has undertaken the obligation to produce quality research on the issues relevant for the government of State.

It has been established as a Centre for producing quality research and analysis in the domain of tribal affairs and its legal, social, economic and cultural dimensions to provide sustainable solutions.

About the Book
