Objectives and Vision

“Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.”
Malcolm Forbes
The primary objective of the University is to evolve and impart comprehensive
and interdisciplinary legal education that is socially relevant. Through this
education, we aim to promote legal and ethical values and foster the rule of law
and the objectives enshrined in the Constitution of India. Furthermore, the
University works toward dissemination of legal knowledge and its role in
national development, so that the ability to analyse and present contemporary
issues of public concern and their legal implications for the benefit of the public
is improved. These processes strive to promote legal awareness in the
community and to achieve political, social and economic justice.
Many believe that the path of liberalization we embarked upon in the early 90s
unleashed India’s potential. Undoubtedly the country has undergone vast
changes in all spheres and we see a more confident India asserting itself on the
global stage. However, this progress has come with very significant challenges to
the country. India’s various social classes are yet to be assimilated; their
participation in the process of governance remains fractured. Cumulative
progress needs to be fair and equitable. And integral to that is a legal system that
empowers the marginalised, is just and fair in letter and spirit, and most
importantly, does not use the law as a tool of oppression.
Our sincere endeavor is to make legal education justice education, as an
instrument of social, political and economic change. Each individual who is part
of this institution must be remembered for the promotion of social justice. Our
students will not only be shaped as change agents as the country achieves its
social and developmental goals, but will also be equipped to address the
imperatives of the new millennium and uphold the Constitution of India.
