Mr. Venkata Rao said
that the Ministry of Law and Justice has sanctioned a sum of Rupees 1 crore to the University to
launch an online consumer grievance redressal mechanism. "We have a chain on consumer laws in our university. Through the
new redressal mechanism, litigants may file grievances online by logging on to
the website and the same will be solved by the university. We have received a
letter from the ministry three days ago and we have conveyed our acceptance
too. Very soon, we will prepare detailed plan of action and it may launched in
February," he said, adding that NLSIU is the second best in the world
for its civic engagement activities.
