National Research Seminar on “Corporate Laws & Challenges to the New Governments”

PG College of Law, Osmania University and ICSI are jointly organizing the two day National Research Seminar on “Corporate Laws & Challenges to the New Governments”.

Date: 25th – 26th July, 2015
Venue: Seminar Hall, Prof. G. Ram Reddy Centre for Distance Education, Osmania University, Hyderabad

The 21st Century throws great challenges to the Indian economy. The status of India as No.1 in the global economy depends upon the legislative support in the form of corporate legislations apart from other factors. The present Central government has announced various programmes like “Make in India” and other programmes. In line with the central government, various state governments are also announcing programmes to achieve a rapid economic development and growth. In this connection the small and medium industries need high encouragement and protection from the onslaught of the giant business houses for which the Competition Act, 2002 plays a very pivotal role.

The corporate legislations like the Companies Act, 2013, The Securities Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, The Securities Contracts (Regulations) Act, 1956, Depositories Act, 1996, The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 and other allied legislations play a very centrifugal role. These legislations are essential for the corporate governance and have high relevance in the light of the proposed government policy of enhancing the FDI ratio.

So it is essential now to study whether these existing corporate laws are enough and sufficient to channelize the flow of foreign investment into India and further controlling the share market, unhealthy takeover bids, facilitating healthy growth of medium and small scale industries and the growth and development of giant Institutions. Further, when the foreign investment is encouraged very much in the present scenario, a pertinent question is that whether this foreign contribution will help the massive and fast growing number of younger generation to get suitable employment based on their eligibility, qualifications and training.

Absorption of this massive younger generation through proper employment is a great challenge to the government. The finality is that India belongs to this younger generation, which will ultimately mould India’s future status in the world economy in the ensuing years. Thus this seminar is aimed at analysing the efficacy and relevance of the present corporate legislations to make India a great giant in the economic front as the industry, trade and commerce ultimately form the backbone for the nation’s economy. A deep rooted study is invited to analyse the above issues and find out the efficacy of these corporate laws and suggestions for improvement.
