ABOUT THE COURSE

The subject of data protection has become extremely relevant over time. The arrival of Covid-19 has once again demonstrated that Indians are becoming huge generators of data. As Indians have transformed into global authors, global transmitters and global disseminators of data, it becomes imperative that data is protected appropriately.

India now offers a new approach to data protection. After nearly two years, the Joint Parliamentary Committee (‘JPC’) report on the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 was finally published on 16th December 2021. The report also contains a new version of the law entitled “The Data Protection Bill, 2021”.

In light of these developments, a short-term certificate course will be delivered on “Approaches to Data Protection in India”. This course would aim to sensitize all stakeholders on the emerging legal frameworks and approaches to data protection in India. The course is offered for a total duration of 16 hours. The course would be offered jointly by Cyberlaw University and the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law.
