Chanakaya National Law University inaugurated in Patna

Patna, Aug 15: The Chanakaya National Law University was on Tuesday inaugurated at a function here attended by Bihar Governor R S Gavai and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The university, the first major institution created during the tenure of the eight-month-old NDA government, was an answer to those who claimed that nothing positive was possible in Bihar, Kumar said. The establishment of the law university, the ninth institution of its kind in the country, in a short period of three months was a pointer to "our commitment to make Bihar stand in the front row of the developed states". Gavai expressed the hope that the institution would produce sharp brains like the legendary Chanakaya. The Chief Justice of the Patna High Court and Chancellor of the University, J N Bhatt, hoped the institution would gain the status of a centre of excellence in the country. Former Union Minister and eminent lawyer Ravishankar Prasad, Advocate General P K Shahi and a host of judges of the high court were present on the occasion.
