About the Organiser

Nari Gursahani Law College (NGLC) is a constituent of the 75 years old HSNC Board, which caters to almost all disciplines of studies through its group of colleges and schools. Named after the legal luminary and humanist Advocate Nari Gursahani, NGLC, nestled in the sprawling 16 acres CHM Campus, is a co-ed College established in 2004, with 3 Years LLB and 5 Years BA LLB Program.

The vision of the College is to emerge as an institution of excellence and repute in legal education and research. Its mission is to nurture competent, ethical, and socially sensitive legal professionals grounded in constitutional values, while equipping them to effectively meet the challenges of a rapidly globalising world.

About the Event

The pride of this student-centric College lies in its four flagship annual events – Dada Nari Gursahani Festival (Vidhi Manthan), Padma Bhushan Late Dr. L H Hiranandani Memorial, Dr. Gopi Gursahani Memorial, and the Shakuntala Gursahani Memorial.

These prestigious events provide a vibrant academic platform where Hon’ble High Court Judges and eminent legal professionals visit the college and engage with students from across the country. Participants take part in various competitions such as moot court, client counselling, mock trial, panel discussion, and research paper writing. Outstanding performers are recognised through trophies, medals, cash prizes, and certificates.
