At the 10th Convocation of National Law University Delhi, 84 and 78 students from the undergraduate and the post graduate programmes, respectively, received their degrees in law. Five doctoral degrees were also awarded at the convocation. In total, 167 students graduated from these academic programmes.

Professor (Dr.) G.S. Bajpai, Vice Chancellor, National Law University Delhi, in his Welcome Address said, “Legal profession is not just a career. It is a calling to serve and make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and the community at large. The power of law lies not only in its ability to enforce rules but in its capacity to bring about positive changes.”

Highlighting NLU Delhi’s contribution to social development, Professor Bajpai said, “At NLU Delhi we take pride in our societal engagement and meaningful impact. One of the ways in which we exemplify this commitment is by actively contributing to the drafting of bills, policy, rules and regulations that shape our legal manuscripts. Our faculty members and students lend their expertise to create well-informed and comprehensive documents that contribute to the betterment of society.”

“NLU Delhi, through the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Law (CRCL), spearheaded the ongoing criminal law reforms. Incidentally, I had the very good fortune of serving as the convener of the committee. It is heartening to note that several progressive provisions in the bills recently introduced in the parliament were inspired by the committee recommendations. We have also been invited to make a presentation before the recently constituted Joint Parliamentary Committee on the subject of amended laws,” Professor Bajpai said.

Talking about NLU Delhi’s achievements over the last one year, he highlighted the launch of various schemes by NLU Delhi; National Scholars-in-Residence Programme and International Visitors Programme to encourage national and international research collaboration, Eklavya Scheme to universalize legal education, Abhyasa Scheme to institutionalize practical learning in a class-room and Utkarsh Scheme to acknowledge the remarkable contribution of faculty and staff to the University.

He underscored NLU Delhi’s commitment to interdisciplinary legal research by highlighting the launch of Ph.D. degree in social sciences. He congratulated NLU Delhi’s students on their achievements in competitive exams including Union Public Service Exam, Judicial Services Exam and National Eligibility Test (UGC NET) saying it’s a “testament not only to their exceptional academic capabilities but their steadfast perseverance to achieve their goals”.

The Vice Chancellor also mentioned how NLU Delhi proposed the institution of the Chief Minister’s Fellowship to law students, in order to bridge the gap of opportunity that often ails our education system. As part of this initiative, 6 fellowships, each valued at 50,000 per month will be awarded to graduate students and the recipients will actively collaborate with various governmental departments, aiding them in policy formulations and evaluation, and in the process empowering both the students and the government of NCT of Delhi.

At the ceremony, students from the undergraduate and the post graduate programme were also felicitated with Gold Medals, Vice Chancellor’s Medals and cash prizes.
