Dr. Hiya Das is a legal academic and researcher whose work spans diverse areas of law, with a particular focus on child rights, reproductive rights, constitutional and administrative law, and environmental law.
I began my academic journey with a B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) degree from J.B. Law College, Guwahati in 2014, followed by an LL.M. from the P.G. Department of Law, Gauhati University. In 2026, I was awarded the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Law by North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya. I have published extensively in reputed national, international, and Scopus‑indexed journals, contributing significantly to scholarly discourse in my areas of specialisation. I have also presented papers at numerous national and international seminars and conferences, reflecting my active engagement with the academic community.
My contributions to legal literature include authoring the book “Thresholds of Justice: Accessing India’s Legal Defences against Child Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation” (1st edition, 2025), and editing the volume “Navigating Contemporary Socio‑Legal Issues in Global Perspective”.
Professionally, I have served as a Guest Lecturer at Dispur Law College, Guwahati, and later as an Assistant Professor at the Royal School of Law and Administration, Assam Royal Global University, Guwahati, where I worked from October 2020 to September 2026.
My innovative approach to legal education and awareness is reflected in her registered design patent (Design No. 471404‑001, dated 27/08/2025, Class 14‑02) for a Kiosk for Legal Awareness.
Through my teaching, research, and publications, I will continue to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of legal scholarship and the promotion of justice in society.
