Manipal Law School, Bengaluru, MAHE- Bengaluru successfully hosted MILANA 2025 – Emerging Trends in Construction Law on 13 December 2025, bringing together judges, academicians, practitioners, and students for a day of rigorous dialogue and interdisciplinary exchange.
The event opened with a ceremonial lighting of the lamp, followed by an inspiring welcome by Prof Venkataraghavan Ramadurai and insights from the Chief Guest, Dr. Dinesh Hegde, District Judge and Director, Arbitration & Conciliation Centre, Bengaluru, who spoke on contemporary challenges in construction adjudication and arbitration.
Two thought-provoking academic panel discussions examined the future of construction law education, focusing on the integration of technology, industry-academia collaboration, curriculum innovation, and experiential learning. A key highlight was the inauguration of CLAFI (Construction Law and ADR Forum of India), a pioneering professional forum established by MLS alumni and students to bridge the gap between legal and technical expertise in construction.
Interactive roundtables, student-led discussions on technology and law, and an engaging myth-buster session on gender stereotypes in construction law added vibrancy to the conclave.
MILANA 2025 reaffirmed MLS Bengaluru’s commitment to advancing construction law scholarship through dialogue, innovation, and community building.
