During the session of 2004-2005, CEL successfully completed the 12th Diploma in Environmental Law.
The Diploma Programme was introduced to provide an in-depth exposure to students on issues, institutions and initiatives in the field of environmental law and policy, to create a critical mass of expertise in this field. Since its inception in 1993, the CEL has established itself as a leading centre for teaching environmental law, policy and research in India.
As a part of the Diploma programme, the CEL also organised a field visit for the students to Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. The visit was intended to give the students a first hand experience in the working of environmental law pertaining to wildlife protection, forest reserves and sanctuaries and problems faced by various enforcement agencies.
