At the 40th National Conference of the National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM) in Mangaluru, T.V. Mohandas Pai, the Chairman of the conference, emphasized the urgent need for a universal declaration of digital rights to safeguard individual digital rights against the growing influence of global digital monopolies. Pai highlighted the importance of legal experts deliberating on this issue to ensure that digital rights are legally protected. Drawing parallels with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights established in 1948, Pai argued that a similar declaration is now necessary to address the challenges posed by digital monopolies.
