Vision of the University
The vision of Madhusudan Law University is to build and establish a University for the development and advancement of the justice oriented legal education and for the purposes of imparting specialized and systematic teaching, training and research in a system of law and for the matters connected therewith or incidental therewith. We aim to impart legal education which not only helps in the development of an individual but also subsequently development and growth of the nation. The University aims to provide the students and scholars with environment and education which is beyond the class-rooms and train them as professionals where they will be valued for their specialized skill, knowledge and for their ability to interconnect, provide and find solutions and explore new dimensions in their respective areas. We aim to motivate the students of the Madhusudan Law University, firstly as responsible citizens and then well-known jurists, academicians, lawyers, Judges, leaders, thinkers and politicians, who are not only sensitive about their own wellbeing but also about the society and community at large and like Jim Rohn saidsaid
“The challenge of leadership is to,
Be strong, but not rude;
Be kind, but not weak;
Be bold, but not bully;
Be thoughtful, but not lazy;
Be humble, but not timid;
Be proud, but not arrogant;
Have humour, but without folly,”
and to mould our students into such compassionate individuals.
We believe in our students, their ideas, their interests and the potential that each of our student have to achieve their dreams. To accomplish this, we aim to nurture the overall thinking and provide a conducive environment to our students so as to give them freedom of expression which will help them develop a thirst for knowledge. This will be achieved through excellence of our motivated faculty and state-of-the-art facilities. I would like to quote Napoleon Hill here “The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.” this becomes a stepping stone in our student’s life. We believe in the overall development of individuals so that they can become great professionals tomorrow. To achieve this, we aim at establishing extra-curricular activities which will include inter university/ college, national/ international moot court competitions, seminars, workshops, symposium, internship opportunities, etc. Here I would like to encourage our students in the words of Jim Rohn
“Don’t wish it was easier wish you were better.
Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills.
Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom.”
