“Some dreams take a longer route to come true. Studying law at NLSIU has been mine since school. But after school, and then a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Hansraj College, University of Delhi, I finally found my way here through the three-year LL.B. (Hons.) programme.

I come from a small town in Trivandrum, Kerala, and being here, and now becoming the SBA Co-President is a deeply humbling experience. It is something I never thought I could achieve. This journey has made me aware of the responsibility that comes with this role. NLSIU is a beautiful place to grow, and I want that growth to be fulfilling for each one of us here.

I want to make sure this is a place that is empathetic, fair and kind to every one of us. I want the SBA to be approachable, accessible, accountable and active. Alongside that, I hope to bring more fun into campus life, because a good university is one we enjoy being part of and not only one we get through.

I hope to make NLSIU a place where every student feels at home. And I want everyone to believe that dreams do come true, and to keep manifesting them until they do.”

“From the time I joined NLS, I was extremely fascinated by the role of the SBA and student governance in general at our university. Since then, I have played many varying roles in student governance, and I now have the privilege and honour of being the Co-President of the SBA. In all my roles in student governance, my driving force was that I deeply cared about bringing change in whatever small ways I could, and that remains the same in my new position.

At a time when the university is expanding at an unprecedented rate and finds itself in the limelight more and more, my tenure comes at the precipice of the future. On a campus where we come across hundreds of us on a daily basis and speak to only a handful, building and expanding a sense of belonging and community is the need of the hour. Our campus has seen increasing numbers of Faculty, Staff, and Students and has, as a consequence, lost touch with some of the founding values which make law school the place it is. I wish to give back to the university and community that I found my identity and purpose in by facilitating the same for the current and future generations of our university.”
