About the Competition
The School of Law, SVKM’s NMIMS, Indore proudly announces its 1st National Blog Writing Competition 2026, providing a platform for students to engage with contemporary legal and socio-legal issues surrounding narcotics regulation in India.
Under the theme “Ink Against Narcotics: Perspectives on India’s Drug Laws,” the competition seeks critical and research-oriented perspectives on the statutory framework governing narcotics, judicial developments, enforcement mechanisms, rehabilitation policies, and the broader socio-economic dimensions of addiction.
Participants are encouraged to move beyond purely punitive approaches and critically examine the balance between state security, individual rights, rehabilitation, decriminalization, and harm-reduction approaches.
