National Law University of Orissa to take off
January 4th, 2008
Following are excerpts from a Tathya.in report.
It seems that finally the National Law University of Orissa (NLUO) is taking a concrete shape.
The move to set up an international institution for learning of Law since 1999 will be taking form with a dedicated Corpus Fund in place.
The State Government will be providing Rs.5 crore to the Fund.
Naveen Patnaik, the Chief Minister will be laying foundation of the institution on 5 January at Brajabiharipur near Naraj in Cuttack district.
The State Government has allocated 30 acres of land free of cost.
Since 1999, the move was on to establish the National Law School (NLS) on the lines of the NLS of Bangalore.
Though initiative was taken for the same, but it never took concrete shape.
…
Taking the experiences of all the NLUs, the State Government is going for the NLUO in an organized way, said the source.
With the Corpus Fund in hand the NLUO will move for a Self Financing Scheme for the operation.
The NLUO is being set up to design and run regular and periodical course of learning for dissemination of knowledge of advanced learning in legal subjects and various issues of Law.
In the mean time the Government of Orissa has already given final shape to the bill of the National Law University of Orissa.
The Cabinet has already approved the bill and it will be presented in the Budget Session of the State legislative Assembly.
Once the new Act and funds in hand, the authorities will go ahead to set up the World Class Centre for Learning of Law in the state, said an official.
