Join the launch of Vidhi’s new report ‘Re-Imagining Consumer Forums’, a first of its kind interdisciplinary collaboration by the JALDI Innovation Lab at Vidhi with Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology.

The objective of this report is to apprise decision-makers on the necessity of specific thinking on court design and infrastructure since this has a direct bearing on efficient functioning of the court. Through a pilot study focused on consumer forums in Bengaluru, Karnataka, the report analyses who the users of the forums are, what spaces they occupy, and what the functions and requirements of such spaces are. In order to improve the status of consumer court infrastructure, the report puts forward design frameworks that guide the layout and structural requirements of consumer forums.
