​India’s Mediation Moment

​Can India fuel a new generation of Indian Mediators backed with quality benchmarks, and the vision of the Mediation Council of India?

​History of IMW

​Founded by law students from NUJS Kolkata who were shocked to discover that over 50% of Indians were unaware of mediation, IMW was born out of a commitment to be resourceful despite limited resources.

​What started with a few student-led awareness drives in Kolkata quickly scaled into a national campaign. From neighbourhoods and schools to local courts, the initiative grew to include over 2,000 student volunteers across 50+ cities.

​Through street plays, flash mobs, conferences, and public outreach activities, IMW strives to make mediation a mainstream and accessible tool for conflict resolution in India.
