Views and Opinion About Consulting Industry
The Consulting practice in India started evolving since our Independence in 1947. The British left our country, but the Legal framework continued to remain as per the British Laws. Even today the Indian Contract Act of 1872 has not undergone any changes. This is in spite of our country having a wide variety of languages, castes and custom & religion etc. The basic interpretation remained a difficult task for the common man due to inadequate level of education. That is how legal profession has remained even today the most wanted category of Consultants in practice in India for the common man. As our Country made progress with industrialization various operational issues in terms of interpretation both technical and commercial started becoming a challenge not only for the investors or bankers but for the Government to formulate rules and procedures. Currently in India, Mining Industry is facing serious crisis due to the legal interpretation of Mining lease,implication of Health, Safety &
Environment & Mining Laws and their understanding in the Industry.
