The Vice-Chancellor’s Message


Together, we embark on a shared journey toward academic excellence, innovation, and holistic growth. With a proud legacy of cultivating brilliant legal minds, I am resolute in further enriching this tradition by fostering a more inclusive, dynamic, and growth-oriented environment for all.


First, to our valued students, the leaders of tomorrow, I pledge to take continued strides in enriching your academic experience. The University is committed to providing you with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to tackle the pressing social and moral issues of our time. Through interdisciplinary learning, skill-building workshops, and increased access to internships with prestigious legal firms, we aim to facilitate a seamless transition into successful careers. My focus will be on nurturing your critical thinking, research capabilities, and practical skills, preparing you to excel in both national and international legal spheres. The goal is not only to equip you to face these challenges but to become catalysts for the profound transformation that today's environmental and socio-political crises demand, particularly in the context of the developing world.


To our esteemed faculty, your expertise remains the foundation of this institution's success. I am committed to bolstering your research pursuits and promoting the adoption of innovative teaching methodologies. Regular faculty development programs will be introduced to ensure continuous learning and skill enhancement. Furthermore, we will strive to promote a balanced work-life environment, acknowledging the essential role you play in shaping the next generation.


For our non-teaching staff, your well-being and professional development are equally paramount. I am dedicated to providing opportunities for career advancement, training, and welfare initiatives, ensuring a positive and fulfilling work atmosphere.


Together, we will strive toward academic excellence, build a nurturing community, and cultivate a culture of respect and inclusion. Let us join hands in elevating the prestige of our university, while ensuring the personal and professional growth of every member of this institution.
