 FROM PRESIDENT DESK
Er.K.N.Agrawal
It gives me great pleasure that this News Bulletin is finally being published, even if belatedly,
the first since I took over. The greater part of the period of this bulletin has seen the multiple waves of
Covid-19 Pandemic, which has severely affected almost all the countries of the World, bringing in its
wake Lockdowns and many restrictions in the day-to-day life, some of which are continuing in some
parts of the country.
Despite such difficulties most State Centres like Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and
Andhra Pradesh have strived to carry on with their activities as much as was possible. We have
learnt and are learning to conduct our activities through Video Conferencing, which shows the great spirit of our Centres
/members in overcoming difficulties in the face of adversity.
Acquiring own premises for the HQ of the Institution and its inauguration on 16th July 2021 was a momentous
occasion. We have also published on our website the IITArb Arbitration Centre Arbitration Rules (for Arbitration other
than International Commercial Arbitration in two parts, namely, Part-1: Institutional Arbitration Rules and Part-2:
Arbitration Centre Management Rules.) in December 2020. The revision of the bye-laws has also been completed and
duly adopted in the EGM and the amended version will be published in due course.
Now as the Covid-19 situation is improving and the country is practically fully opened up, we will need to move
with vigor, while still observing for some more time the Covid appropriate behaviour. It is important that the State Centres
maintain close liaison with the HQ in carrying out various activities. The IITArb with its HQ at Chennai and various State
Centres and a Local Centre is one whole, though with sufficient autonomy to the Centres. The State Centres may strive
to develop its own infrastructure for effectively carrying out its activities in furtherance of the common objectives of
IITArb. Our Institution can take pride in the fact that its core strength of domain knowledge experts is ever increasing and
our esteemed members are getting trained in the various aspects of Arbitration. The benevolence of Shri O.P. Goel,
Promoter Member and Past President and the presence of Shri P.R.Seshadri, immediate Past President, at the HQ is
very reassuring and bodes well for the Institution. It is my proud privilege to wish every member well and a professionally
fulfilling experience. Together we can!
