Indian Mediation Week (IMW) is India\u2019s Largest Student-run Access to Justice Campaign. Under the Mediation Awareness Program Initiative (MAP Initiative), IMW has conducted over 2400 drives across 102 cities of India with directly engaging with over 1.5 lakhs people and in the process sensitizing over 50 lakh people across the nation.<\/h5>\n

In a nation where more than 54% of the people still haven\u2019t heard of Mediation, IMW is an initiative to not only sensitize people about Mediation but also collect cases from the people and solve them through a pool of expert Mediators across the nation. IMW has successfully solved around 500 cases of the total 2000 odd disputes received.<\/p>\n

Based on the progress and success of the event, we have been encouraged for the 3rd edition (IMW\u201919) to be expanded to a larger scale.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the Event<\/h5>\n

Indian Mediation Week is an initiative of ODRways (rebranded as SAMA) that was started by a group of students at West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata and now has transformed into a national movement for Access to Justice.<\/p>\n

The event is supported by the Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India and Supreme Court Mediation and Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC). The previous Edition was in collaboration with NITI Aayog.<\/p>\n
