VICE-CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE
From its humble beginning in 2006 at the Mohindra Kothi,
RGNUL has since travelled confidently and steadfastly forward,
reaching significant milestones and achieving major success in
almost all spheres of growth. The university moved to its
permanent campus in the last academic session. All the
academic and administrative units of the university became
fully functional from the Sidhuwal campus. The 50 acre campus
provides for all the needs of a residential educational institute
namely, Academic and Administration Block, Hostels,
Facility Area, Caf, Health Center, Guest House etc.
This year too our students got selected as judicial officers,

Supreme Court Researchers, joined reputed law firms and
started their own career as litigation lawyers. It is the
commitment and dedication of the faculty and students that
has made this possible. The learning environment at RGNUL,
closely monitors student progression and ensures pragmatic
assistance as and when required. Well structured and
compulsory internships also ensure industry exposure and
practical learning. The RGNUL Internship and Placement Cell,
International and national collaborations in research also help

students to underscore newer perspectives and are trained to
adopt holistic approach to learning. In December, the
university collaborated with Ontario International
Development Agency (OIDA), Toronto, Canada and
International Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Law,
Laurentian University, Sudbury, Canada to organize
International Conference on Sustainable Development. In
March, the university organized 37th All India Criminology
Conference of the Indian Society of Criminology (ISC), in in
collaboration with the Institute of Correctional Administration,
Chandigarh. This also led to establishment of Patiala Chapter of
Indian Society of Criminology at RGNUL. These activities are
undertaken to provide impetus to research and scholarship.
Students at RGNUL are a vibrant and driven community. Moots,
debates and cultural activities are organized by them as
members of various students committees. The university
performs the role of a true teacher, helping students to learn
not only in the classroom, but moving beyond the classrooms
to develop skills, ensure mental dexterity and proficiency in
organizing.
I welcome all the new students to the great RGNUL family.
With Best Wishes.

Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening throught and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father , let my country awake
