Online Arbitration Services in the Digital Age. Online Dispute Resolution Mechanisms.

Technology and Electronic modes of communication in Judiciary is the need of the hour to provide more transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness in the justice delivery system. Video conferencing and online platforms are gaining momentum globally with the increased bandwidth and 4G services in the country  The inefficient system of transporting hardcore criminals and under trials to the court and back pose serious threats to the society and the public at large. This also puts a huge financial burden on the part of the Govt and results in wastage of resources, and hits the common taxpayer.

Online Dispute Resolution.

Imagine bringing someone like David Coleman physically to the Indian Courts. The "Video Conference" to interact with the accused or the witnesses will be a game changer in judicial proceedings in India in this Digital Age.. 

The entire proceedings in the “Virtual Meeting Room” is recorded with audio and video in the virtual presence of a representative of the service provider like "Registrar" certifying the electronic document on behalf of the online platform to make it an admissible evidence in any Indian Court as per the Indian Evidence Act and the Information Technology Act. Once the Virtual Arbitration proceedings are completed, the Registrar will prepare the recording of the proceedings, digitally sign it and make it available to the stake holders as a soft copy as required.  

BTech Students allege discrimination by Companies in Placement Practices. Demand for Central Placement System.

Urgent need for Central Placement System to ensure Justice.

Students belonging to various engineering colleges under BPUT began an agitation demanding a Central Placement Cell similar to Centralized Admission Process in recruitment process by companies to ensure transparency, fairness to less privileged and rural students. Full report  http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/article246057.ece 

Companies and HR Managers of major IT companies have been accused by equal opportunity activists, human rights activists, and various other stakeholders that they are literally pampered both financially and by “other services” to recruit students from particular elite self financing colleges run by influential persons and these recruitment numbers are then used to market to potential parents and students in the following academic years to boost admissions and profits in self financing colleges. 

No company can claim to be an equal opportunity employer unless equal opportunity is given to its recruitment process to all sections of the society including students studying in rural areas, weaker sections of society who can hardly afford to study in a “five star educational institution” due to their weaker economic status.

A Central Placement System would to a large extent provide empowerment to the weaker sections of the society and also ensure that companies really live up to their corporate motto of being an equal opportunity employer. 

As a result of the current placement system in colleges, lesser known institutions, students belonging to weaker sections of the society are losing out and are denied equal opportunity to participate in the recruitment process and obtain jobs. This creates a social malady and social inequalities. 

Activists accuse many top tier IT companies as not being an equal opportunity employer when they are denying rural and weaker sections of the society to participate in their recruitment process in a globally competitive era. 

Students and parents who have availed bank loans for their higher education are left high and dry due to being denied an opportunity to participate in a fair and equitable recruitment process to obtain jobs.  

Thus the current practice of companies and HR managers being financially and by “other means”pampered to conduct campus recruitment only in select engineering and other colleges are discriminatory, unfair, lacks transparency, and should be scrapped henceforth. 

Central Placement Cell is the proven solution to this malady such as the one in Delhi University.

Companies including Wipro, BP, Infosys are a part of the Central Placement System to ensure equality, transparency, and fairness to job seekers from various strata of the society. More to follow soon.

A Central Placement Cell would ensure equality, fairness, transparency & would make rural students and weaker sections of the society employable. This would also ensure social empowerment of women and keep the loan sharks away who take advantage of the unemployed youth in the country.
