Nalsar star is headed to Oxford

HYDERABAD: Nalsar University of Law was filled with fervour on the occasion of its 9th annual convocation here on Saturday. Sitting on the dais smiling were chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Union law minister Salman Khurshid who let themselves sink in the jubilation of the students. "I am as excited as you are to be wearing the convocation gown. I never wore it for my own convocation when I graduated," said the chief minister, drawing an applause from the audience.
The festive atmosphere filled the chief minister with nostalgia about his own college days and he told the students that school and college days are the best when one can focus on whatever one wants to do without being burdened with other responsibilities in life. He felt that the Indian judicial system has come a long way and the need of the hour is to evolve a speedy system to settle disputes within a time frame. Nalsar University is given Rs 4 crore per annum and the government has provided Rs 50 crore to it so far, the chief minister said. He added that the university will be developed further and the state aims to make Hyderabad the knowledge and education capital of the country. Salman Khurshid said the parliamentary response to the recent civil society movement marks the emergence of novel dynamics of decision making and this calls upon the researchers and educationists to elucide a new politicolegal process of governance. "There have been remarks that there are too many lawyers involved in the government today. The same is true of the opposition parties, civil society and the media," the minister said.
