Dr. Kalpeshkumar L Gupta presented on legal aid in India, discussing issues and challenges. He outlined the constitutional goals of justice, liberty, and equality as well as various laws relating to legal aid. Clinical legal education, law schools, and their role in legal aid was discussed. A 2011 study on law school legal aid clinics found most had a designated faculty but few provided academic credit, resulting in reduced enthusiasm. It recommended training faculty and students, strengthening select clinics, and developing networks between clinics. A 2014 study in Delhi examined legal aid counsel competency and commitment, finding most joined for experience not causes, many were not fully available, some demanded money, and skills were average. It concluded commitment and competency needed
According to recent reports, 99% of sexual assault cases in India go unreported. If true, this would mean that India has one of the highest levels of crimes against women in the world. While laws have been strengthened since the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, this has not necessarily led to higher conviction rates or quicker investigations and trials. Over 133,000 rape cases are currently pending in Indian courts, and it would take 20 years to clear the backlog of pending child sex abuse cases. Conviction rates for crimes against women are also extremely low at 19%, compared to the average conviction rate for all crimes of 47%. Significant issues contributing to this situation include slow police investigations, lack of courts, and slow court proceedings.

The first study examined 39 law schools across 7 states in India and found that while most had faculty designated for legal aid, few provided academic credit which reduced enthusiasm. Activities were limited to awareness talks with few NGO collaborations.
The second study in Delhi assessed 702 aid beneficiaries, 173 judges and others. It found most beneficiaries opted for aid due to lack of funds. Judges found legal aid counsel skills like arguments to be below average while regulators saw them as average. Many counsels were part-time and not fully committed.

Introduction
The real sector plays a catalytic role in fulfilling the need and
demand for housing and infrastructure in the country. While
this sector has grown significantly in recent years, it has been
largely unregulated, with absence of professionalism and
standardization and lack of adequate consumer protection.
Though the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 is available as a
forum to the buyers in the real estate market, the recourse is
only curative and is not adequate to address all the concerns of
buyers and promoters in that sector.
The lack of standardization has been a constraint to the
healthy and orderly growth of industry. Therefore, the need for
regulating the sector has been emphasized in various forums.
