Evolution of Mediation in India

Takshashila Institution
About this episode

In this episode of All Things Policy, Astha Rastogi, Programme Manager for Defence and Foreign Affairs, in conversation with Yamini J Kumar, who is the Assistant Programme Manager for Law Enforcement & Policing Fellowship, talks about the evolution of mediation, its challenges in India and suggested policies that could be implemented. From a court-referred mechanism to a recognised alternative dispute resolution tool, they explore how mediation is still a strange concept to people and how there is less accessibility because of the stigma around it.
