Addressing the gathering, Dr Surinder Kaur said justice extends beyond courtrooms and forms the foundation of every citizen’s rights and responsibilities. She encouraged students to develop a sound understanding of the law, remain aware of their constitutional rights and actively contribute towards building a society based on fairness, equality and justice.Commerce faculty member Vivek Narula emphasised that legal awareness has become increasingly important for today’s youth.
