FOR THE WANT NEED OF EXCELLENCE
We, the Students of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University have come forth in
solidarity to protest against the inexplicably obtuse functioning of the University and the
derelict conduct of administrative officers. These dissents are being raised on such a platform
because the systematic heel-dragging and coercive tactics adopted by the Administration of
the University has made approaches to the authorities an exercise in futility.
The conscience of the student fraternity is shaken to the core, owing to the unscrupulous and
morally degrading remarks laden with sexual overtones made by certain administrative
officials towards the female students, thereby exacerbating the situation resulting in an
impasse. In addition, we call upon the authority to take cognisance of the grossly apathetic
attitude of the administration towards the plethora of RTIs filed over relevant issues. The
regressive policies adopted by an array of incompetent and morally suspect individuals in
power have led to the degradation of a conducive and safe atmosphere for quality education
and threatened the very fabric of a National Law University Student’s development.
We, the students of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University regard the following
necessitated demands as basic pre-requisites for proper functioning; intrinsic to and befitting
a National Law University. It is with grave concern that we pray for cognizance the sporadic
nature of meetings convened by relevant authorities such as the General Council, the
Executive Council and furthermore. We call upon the University authorities to efficaciously
implement potent progressive measures which are indispensable to law students.
