National Law University for the state of Bihar.

I want to thank as well congratulate all those people who are associated with the establishment of states' first law university, the Chanakya National Law University, Patna (http://www.chanakyalawuniv.org)

A million thanks!

It’s a matter of pride for the state, because Bihar has marched along with other states in establishing NLU and being the part of revolutionized integrated legal education system in India.

Earlier, I used to doubt whether we could have institutions like IIT, IIM, AIIMS, NLSIU, NIFT and the likes that could prevent the migration of vast pool of talent out of the state. But now I am sure that the future holds bright opportunities for thousands of aspirants.

This year itself two more NLUs have been established. They are:

# Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Rastriya Vidhi Sansthan, Lucknow, U.P.
# Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Patiala, Punjab.

So, it can be said that the legal education scenario is changing in India.

So students, wake up to the opportunities, It's never too late!

The various National Law Universities:
# National Law School of India University, Bangalore. (www.nlsiu.ac.in)
# National Academy of Legal studies and Research, University of Law, Hyderabad. (www.nalsarlawuniv.org)
# National Law Institute University, Bhopal. (www.nliu.com)
# W.B. National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. (www.nujs.edu)
# National Law University, Jodhpur. (www.nlujodhpur.ac.in)
# Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur. (www.hnlu.ac.in)
# Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar. (www.gnlu.ac.in)
# National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi. (www.nuals.ac.in)
# Chanakya National Law University, Patna. (http://www.chanakyalawuniv.org)
# Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Rashtriya Vidhi Sansthan (DRMLNLU), Lucknow.
# Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Patiala, Punjab. (http://www.rgnulpatiala.org)

That day is not so far when each state will have one National Law University. Kudos to Padma Shree Prof. (Dr.) N.R. Madhava Menon for bringing this revolution of integrated legal education in India way back in 1987 by establishing NLSIU, Bangalore.
