The Idea of Samvaad

Samvaad is a newsletter released by the Samvaad Society in Hidayatullah National Law University. The team Samvaad describes this initiative in their own words below:

"Every college is a community, and in the context of HNLU, it is even more so. Being a home away from home, the university serves to all of us a purpose greater than legal learning. It is here that our future selves are shaped and our convictions gain ground. We learn much of what will define each one of us here – in terms of our knowledge, our approach towards situations as well as towards people.

Samvaad is an endeavour to connect the old with the new. It is an attempt to keep learning from people who have shaped the present culture of the college. We try to reach out to those who have been there, done that and are willing to share their story. This is not very different from a random conversation with a senior on a lazy Saturday morning. Our venture just makes these conversations a little more permanent. We hope to connect our people scattered across the country (and outside), reach out to them and take back into our fold those whose vision made HNLU what it is today.

The theme for our first issue was mooting and such alumni as Debajyoti Das and Arya Tripathi shared their experience. With the second issue, we briefly touched upon litigation as a career option, in which we had K. K. Rai as well as Anand Shankar Jha and other alumni sharing their experiences.

Samvaad is not just a newsletter. It is not an isolated idea. It is the first step in reuniting our family, and taking HNLU out to the world. It is our window to the world, showing what we have been and what we are capable of. Samvaad is a mission."
