RGNUL National Seminar On “Emerging Areas Of Competition Law In a Global Economy: Challenges & Opportunites”

Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab, in association with Competition Commission of India, New Delhi, is organizing a national seminar on the theme 

“EMERGING AREAS OF COMPETITION LAW IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES”.

The seminar will focus on objectives of Competition Law as an instrument for accelerating growth through innovation and economic efficiencies thus maximizing consumer welfare by offering better products at lower prices. Competition is irrefutably beneficial for every market participant. Competitive markets give consumers wider choice and lower prices. It gives sellers stronger incentives to minimize their costs through innovation and other productivity enhancing techniques. This enables firms to pass on cost savings to the customers and offer better products and greater choice at lower prices. There is a need to achieve the objectives of the Competition Act 2000 which is the main purpose behind conducting such seminar in order to foster innovation and knowledge in the aforementioned field.
