New Delhi [India], April 16: Dr. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Chief Justice of India while delivering the valedictory address at the American Bar Association (ABA) India Conference 2024 observed, "Philanthropy is considered contrary to distributive justice as it creates a certain social hierarchy and does so in an arbitrary manner. It is an unreliable medium of change because it is subject to individual motivations and charitable impulses because of its non-institutional uncoordinated character. So much as we speak about the importance of philanthropy within our own profession, it's important for us to understand the flip side and to overcome the flip side by seeking to institutionalize what otherwise becomes the ad-hoc individual initiates."
