Ethelred Council for Geojuridical Statecraft

The Ethelred Council for Geojuridical Statecraft (ECGS India) is a highly selective, invitation-only premier think tank that serves as a privileged forum for the strategic alignment of Indian statecraft with the highest standards of international law. We are not merely an assembly of experts, but a carefully curated collective of the nation's most esteemed legal minds, comprising fellows including eminent senior jurists, distinguished bureaucrats, and leading academicians. ECGS India is recognized for its incisive analyses and bespoke recommendations are sought after by the highest echelons of Indian governance, including Ministers, senior Bureaucrats, Prosecutors and Judges, across various departments and ministries. We further benefit from the invaluable contributions of our reputed fellows from both state and national levels of government, the judiciary, and academia, ensuring a multi-faceted and authoritative approach to our work. Furthermore, ECGS India provides an exclusive and invaluable opportunity for young legal researchers to engage with and learn from the very best in the field. Our annual ECGS Druta Fellowship, a prestigious program highly sought after by aspiring legal scholars, offers a unique platform for emerging talent to contribute to our mission and develop their expertise under the guidance of seasoned professionals. Our mission is to elevate India's legal frameworks, ensuring they not only meet but exceed international best practices, thereby solidifying India's position as a global leader in law and governance.
