Emphasizing the significance of the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020 in shaping future-ready institutions, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel highlighted that the centenary year of Gujarat Law Society (GLS) presents an opportunity to align higher education with value-based and holistic learning as envisioned by the policy.
During the inauguration of GLS’s centenary year celebrations, the Chief Minister stressed that institutions like GLS, known for their public trust, should lead in implementing reforms that equip students for nation-building. He noted the alignment of GLS’s academic framework with the principles of NEP-2020, emphasizing multidisciplinary learning, skill development, and character-building.
Congratulating the management, faculty, and students of GLS, the Chief Minister commended the institution for significantly contributing to the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by educating and preparing the youth for their role in nation-building. He also encouraged GLS to incorporate initiatives such as ‘Catch the Rain’ into its centenary programs, marking the institution’s completion of 100 years in education.
The ceremony marking the formal commencement of GLS’s centenary year, established in 1927 and set to complete 100 years in 2027, included the inauguration of the GLS Archives at the new GLS University building. This museum space will preserve rare documents, photographs, and memorabilia showcasing the institution’s history.
Executive Director of GLS, Dr. Chandni Kapadia, described the event as the start of a historic year celebrating a century of educational service. She outlined a calendar of academic conferences, sports events, cultural programs, publications, and community engagement initiatives planned throughout the year. Executive Vice President of GLS, Sudhir Nanavati, traced the institution’s origins to national leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Ganesh Vasudev Mavalankar, acknowledging the contributions of faculty, students, alumni, and trustees in enhancing the society’s academic standing.
