FOunded Nalsar? Please!

[We regret the error due to a misreading - that should have been founding vice-chancellor, not founder... -Ed]

but he was the founder of nalsar!! in any case he was VC for many years and played a crucial role. he was criticised by some purists but i think he was a true visionary and nalsar owes everything to him... what is wrong if someone gives a paid advertisement in india today or woos the business community? it is time to accept that education is an industry. it is treated as aa commercial venture in the west. ranbir singh's only fault was that he was ahead of his time.

Apologies, but having read Mr. Ranbir Singh's work, and hear him speak, it is indeed a hilarious reflection of the calibre of our legal system and state bodies if these are the people considered the county's legal experts. Whats next, Lalit Modi on the Planning Commission?

The criticism of Prof Singh smacks of racism. He would not face such comments if he did not hail from the haryana Jat community and if he spoke English in a fake Shashi Tharoor accent.

People detest Prof Singh because he snubbed tradition and had the guts to boldly promote and advertise NALSAR. That is exactly the kind of VCs which are needed. I have heard people from NLSIU and NUJS criticise Madhav menon, Jaygovind and MP Singh for not aggressively marketing their college. They may have more books and papers published but Prof Singh is a better VC by far. Mark my words Prof Singh will make NLU Delhi the next NALSAR.

there are a thousands of academics who are more respected that ranbir singh. what are the criteria for appointing ppl to the law commission? there is no transparency.

Law Ministry appointed Senior advocates A. Mariarputham as a member of law commission its a great achievement ..
Congrats Sir !!!

For all those criticising Prof Singh's inclusion, the proof of his credibility is for everyone to see - NALSAR! I am not saying that NALSAR is what it is solely because of Singh, but everyone would agree that an institution's success is also to do with it's Vice Chancellor. Prof Singh has proved to everyone what vision, enthusiasm and resourcefulness can do in taking an institution forward by leaps and bounds. These are the skills that are dearly needed in the Indian legal profession and so in the Law Commission as well.

Congratulations Sir, You have made NALSAR where it stands today and i am sure NLU Delhi will also do great under your able guidance.

so we now know that symbiosis was not the only institute which knew how to get good rankings. NALSAR was also one of the pioneers. where is it ranked this year?

The blog should do better than apologising without research!

I have extracted the post which some disillusioned person posted! in retort to the rightly informed one!

Yes!

He was the "Founder of NALSAR". And if people do not know, it should be known that the so called premier NALSAR in fact started out from a single floor of a house in the suburbs of Hyderabad( where incidentally Mr.Singh used to stay as well). Unlike other NLS's it did not have available state funding. It was Mr. Singh who designed the outlay, laid the first brick, arranged the funding( through the Govt. of A.P. and various pioneers of the legal profession) and delivered NALSAR.

So, please present a careful criticism. No body can take his accomplishments away. I am not saying that he is ablest man for the "Job" but retorting to an idiot who does not know his facts.

And for the self proclaimed champion of articulation! The greatest of minds in the world have not been able to address an audience! If you are a litigator, and I hope you are(though I doubt it because of your immaturity) you must be sad at your work!

"It was Mr. Singh who designed the outlay, laid the first brick, arranged the funding( through the Govt. of A.P. and various pioneers of the legal profession) and delivered NALSAR".

With the laying of several other brick/slabs of granites/entire "research" centre buildings unpopulated and vacant in the campus - Nalsar's early years were a classic study in the "leakage of funds from public infrastructure projects". The administration were lucky to have pre-dated the RTI, and be blessed with beholden students (several nephews, nieces and friends of the family amongst them - surprise surprise ;P!), and Mr. Singh of course, has built a smashing profile. No doubt at all that he is a marketing genius, and no doubt at all that this is the base skil required to build an academic institution. What else could you possibly need?!! Congrats!
