Gov Law College Ernakulam celebrates 150 years of legacy
Kochi: The Govt Law College, Ernakulam, marked the conclusion of its year-long 150th anniversary celebrations with a valedictory ceremony on Friday. The event witnessed the presence of several dignitaries, including Kerala governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and Chief Justice Nitin Madhukar Jamdar.
Addressing the gathering, the governor praised the college for its enduring contribution to the legal and civic life of Kerala and the nation. "The students from the Govt Law College immensely contributed to the growth of the state and the country, with many alumni occupying key positions in the judicial service," he said.
In his address, Chief Justice Jamdar highlighted the growing significance of advocates in an increasingly complex society.
"As laws become more detailed and comprehensive, it becomes harder for people to understand and comply. This is where the role of advocates becomes crucial," he noted, emphasizing the need for legal professionals to help bridge this gap.
The event also featured a felicitation ceremony honouring several sitting judges of the high court who are alumni of the institution. Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden also addressed the gathering.
College principal Bindu M Nambiar in her presidential address acknowledged ongoing infrastructural challenges despite the institution's proud legacy. She, however, expressed optimism, announcing that the college secured corporate social responsibility funds for constructing a new main block on the historic site of the old legislative hall of the erstwhile Cochin state.
