In the wake of liberalisation,privatisation,globalisation,advanced information technology and consumerism,India has passed through a rapid social upheaval. As a result,multiple social tensions,coupled with new permutations and combinations,have generated in the social order. In order to obliterate such social tensions and economic competitive disparities,the legal system has become a vehicle of growth-oriented,progressive and reformative movement. Thus,the various legal luminaries and academia will participate in this Congress to examine and understand the role of law in this changing process. This is the first time that anywhere in India such kind of Law Congress is being organised.

On this special occasion,the batch of the 1985 law graduates of department are celebrating their silver jubilee year. To commemorate this,they have already presented their department two granite stones with engraving of law department on one and the lady of justice on the other.
