Dear Hon’ble Chief minister:
For a couple of years we have been hearing about the establishment of a National Law University in Orissa.
Our state has been moving much slower than the other states with respect to this, as already 6 such institutes are there in other states and according to http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1056807
the HRD ministry in Delhi called the directors of the existing National Law Institutes for discussing a common entrance exam.
I think soon the HRD ministry may consider partially funding these existing law institutes and since the one in Orissa is not yet established, we may lose out. Once such a chance is missed it would be very difficult to make the Law institute in Orissa to be funded by UGC or MHRD.
We request that you take immediate steps towards the establishment of this planned law university in Orissa at the earliest.
If there is a delay at the Higher Education and/or Law department office, please push them to expedite on this matter. If the delay is in your office, please consider this at the earliest.
sincerely,
Chitta Baral
