HISTORY
OF COLLEGE : |
|
| |
The
Latthe Education Society, the parent body of the Narayandas
Sarwottamdas Law College was established in 1951 with
the object, of providing facilities for the education
in various faculties one among which was legal education.
In pursuance of that object this college was established
in June 1969 with the active, sincere and kind Co-operation
of the members of Sangli and Taluka Bar Association. The
college was started as an evening college with "Three
year law course".
An
eminent and renowned lawyer of this area Advocate, K.A.
Chougule graced the chair of Principal. He is our founder
Principal. As there was no grant from the Government our
college was not having full time lecturers. All the renowned
advocates of Sangli were kind enough and extended their
great Co-operation as teaching faculty of this institute
as Honorary lecturers.
In
this new era of rapid development, old ideas in all sciences
are being modified and new concepts are being established
in every field of life. The legal field is not an exception.
Accordingly, curriculum of the course has to be revised
so that the law student would be conversant with the latest
trends and developments, keeping this in view, five year
law course was introduced by the bar council of India
from June 1983 after the completion of higher secondary
school certificate examination (10+2). Our college also
started this 5-year law course from the same year when
Bar Council of India introduced it. Both the three-year
law course and five-year law course are running simultaneously.
Our
college authorities took into consideration the needs
of changing society and persons wanting to be professionals
in taxation laws, we introduced a diploma course known
as "Diploma in Income tax and Sales tax" from
the academic year 1984-85. It is a self-financing course.
Right from the beginning there is excellent response for
this diploma of one-year duration. For last two years
we are compelled to close the admission as our seats limitation
is coming to an end according to the rules of the Shivaji
University.
Our
college was not having independent building for want of
funds, and law study did not receive grant-in-aid from
the state. Out college functioned from the neighboring
commerce college building, which is also run by our parent
body Latthe Education Society. It was dream come true
when President of our Governing Council of our parent
body; Latthe Education Society and also Chairman of local
managing committee of our college late Shri. K.A. Chougule,
Advocate, laid the foundation stone in the year 1984 for
the construction of our college building. With the precious
corpus of Rs. 2.5 lacs created and kept by our ex-principal
Shri.A.R. Ghode, advocate, as a building fund, the construction
of college building began. Soon the donations started
coming in from various institutions and corporate bodies
such as municipal council, Banks, industries and not the
least of our past students. During the construction of
our college building our parent body Latthe Education
Society stepped in with funds whenever we faced shortfall
as we have not received any development grants from UGC.
It was momentous for us in the history of our college
when we shifted to our very own building in the year 1998
as full-fleshed day college.
The
law governs every aspects of everyday life of every citizen.
The study and knowledge of law to the society is as vital
as breathing and water to human body. Yet there was no
grant-in-aid for legal education. The demands were aired
in unison from the year 1979 for grants-in-aid for legal
education. Unfortunately the Government of Maharashtra
stonewalled to this demand. So Mr. M.P. Vashi, Advocate,
and member of Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa in the
High Court at Mumbai on behalf of Maharashtra law teachers
association filed a writ in 1985. The writ was allowed,
directing the state to give grant-in-aid to law colleges
in Maharashtra. Government of Maharashtra in the Supreme
Court of India challenged the said decision of Hon'ble
High Court, Mumbai. The principal of our college Shri.
V.T. Chougule played a vital role in collecting the information,
documents and statistics etc and filing a detailed affidavit
in Supreme Court of India. Based on the facts of the documents,
Government's own resolutions and notifications, it was
pointed out how the faculty of law which was so important,
was neglected for grant-in aid. The facts set out in the
affidavit of our principal form the major part of the
judgment of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court not only
dismissed the Special Leave Petition of Government of
Maharashtra but also declared the position of law that
providing legal education is the responsibility of State
under the constitution. The decision not only benefited
our college but also almost all the law colleges in Maharashtra
were benefited by the said judgement. Thus, since academic
year 1995-96 the Government of Maharashtra is compelled
to extend the grant-in-aid scheme to all the law colleges
including ours.
