India's First Institutional Digital Arbitration Centre

The International Digital Dispute Resolution Centre (IDDRC) is a specialised initiative of the National Forensic Sciences University — the world's only university exclusively dedicated to forensic sciences and allied disciplines, established as an Institution of National Importance by an Act of Parliament in 2020.

IDDRC operates as a fully administered institution with a professional Secretariat, formally notified Rules, and a curated panel — offering procedural certainty, neutrality, and technological security for domestic and international disputes.
