Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a process by which the parties involved in a dispute
agree to resolve through arbitration, mediation, conciliation or negotiation. It
is a new approach to creating positive outcomes in resolving business disputes.
ADR helps in reducing the level of tension and conflict in a community by
offering amicable solutions to common civil disputes like consumer disputes,
commercial disputes, employment disputes, family and marital disputes. ADR acts
as a supplement resolution mechanism to accomplish the objectives of rule of
law.
The PG Diploma
Program in ADR is developed in the context of increasing recognition for ADR in
India and the statutory support accorded by the State. The program provides the
students with an analytical understanding of the various concepts and methods of
ADR.
