Mahindra University Seeding Centre for Peace and Justice will serve as a consortium partner of IIAM G2J project and function as an affiliated centre under IIAM’s online dispute resolution platform, ‘Peacegate’. Through this partnership students, faculty, alumni, and community will have access to real time dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, and case management, integrating practice with legal education.

Dr Yajulu Medury, Vice Chancellor of Mahindra University said: “With a strong focus on interdisciplinary education and experiential learning, our collaboration will enable the exchange of knowledge and broaden their perspectives while preparing them to become industry-ready professionals. We are not only enhancing the professional readiness of our students but also contributing meaningfully to bring accessible justice for the community.”

This JDC will also be complemented by Mahindra International Dispute Resolution Centre, which will operate as a full scale institutional ADR facility housed on university campus. Mahindra International Dispute Resolution Centre will serve as a training ground for students and young professionals to manage real cases, offering an important resource to community.
