Justice Srikrishna Committee

The Justice Srikrishna Committee was a panel established by the Indian government in 2017 to examine and recommend guidelines for data protection and privacy. It aimed to create a balanced framework that protects individual privacy rights while allowing data to be used for economic growth and innovation. The committee studied existing laws, best practices internationally, and emerging issues related to digital privacy. Its recommendations formed the basis of India’s Personal Data Protection Bill, addressing issues like data collection, storage, consent, and security, striving to regulate how personal information is handled in the digital age.
