The Government of India should follow the lead of the Government of Singapore and provide a strong direction to the growth of ADR within India. This is likely to involve visible support for Alternative Dispute Resolution, via promoting an arbitral institution and\/or such events as arbitration conferences. In addition to this, ADR will grow as a result of education, training junior and senior practitioners to be not just comfortable in ADR practices but world-leading. I am on the Board of Trustees of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb), and I very much recommend the training courses run by the CIArb India Branch.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p
