Law is no longer just a traditional profession; it has evolved into a high-stakes arena of "super specialties." Speaking at the valedictory session of 'Lok Sambad,' a national youth parliament hosted by SOA National Institute of Law (SNIL), Odisha’s Law Minister, Mr. Prithviraj Harichandan, urged students to meticulously plan their futures.
The Minister noted that while litigation and the judiciary remain bedrock options, the horizon has expanded. Notably, the Odisha government is now integrating law students into the administration as Research Assistants, bridging the gap between legal academia and governance.
The two-day event drew 150 participants from across India, including Maharashtra, Delhi, and West Bengal. Minister Harichandan praised the "rare" youth parliament format, contrasting it with standard moot courts.
Key Highlights:
Top-Tier Excellence: SOA Vice-Chancellor Prof. Pradipta Kumar Nanda highlighted that SNIL is ranked 10th nationally by NIRF.
Multidisciplinary Growth: SOA has transformed into a "gigantic tree of knowledge" focusing on diverse educational sectors.
The ceremony concluded with awards for top performers, celebrating a new era where legal studies serve as a versatile launchpad for leadership.
