CNLU calls off hunger strike after three recruiters visit campus

Friday, 29 April 2011 By Legally India Law schools

Exclusive: The CNLU Patna hunger strike ended on Tuesday after assurances from Members of Legislative Assembly (MLA) of a meeting with the chief minister, and two law firms and a journal visited the campus to recruit, according to a student.

Rahul Anand, who was one of the CNLU students sitting on hunger strike since last week, told Legally India that the strike was called off this Tuesday.

Students were assured by MLAs of the ruling party that Bihar’s chief minister would meet them soon, said Anand, satisfying one of the hunger strikers’ key demands.

He added that two law firms - Khaitan & Partners and one Delhi firm – and the court journal All India Reporter (AIR) also visited the campus to recruit students. Students had also demanded that recruitment initiatives undertaken by the college should be improved.

Update: Kolkata legal process outsourcing company (LPO) Offshore Research Partners had also visited campus and has confirmed four job offers for CNLU students, said the firm’s managing partner Ashish Arun.

The situation at CNLU symbolises a larger national problem that affects graduates from all kinds of fields. Law students should understand that their recruitment depends on the state of the national economy. India has a huge youth population but the economy is not expanding fast enough to create jobs for all. FDI is down, manufacturing is down, agriculture is down. Reforms are desperately needed. The UPA has done jackshit since 2003. As long as Sonia gandhi runs this country and jokers like Pawar and Moily occupy crucial portfolios, the economy is screwed and law students are screwed.

honestly, it has nothing to do with politics , as CONGRESS HATER SUGGESTS..

other law schools have earned their spurs by performing well over their five years..just look at NLU D..

CNLU honestly havent done as much..

also, most NLUs organise the placement themselves, its tht simple...CNLU, in my view simply lacks merit as of now...therefore their situation..

grow up, stop blaming others for ur problem..

Its a good sign that the situation has ended but not a good situation to end up in the first place.

@2: It has everything to do with larger economic and political issues. FYI recent recruitments at even top colleges like NALSAR, NLSIU and NUJS have not been as good as previous years. I am not absolving the CNLU administration but it is not all their fault. SILF, BCI and the people in govt owe the nation an answer as to why they are opposing reforms at a time when law students are are going on HUNGER STRIKE for lack of unemployment. Why are they silent as to Indian law firms and Senior Advocates are not absorbing enough people? It is shocking that GS has not made a single statement on the issue.

@ #2:
hmm..blame the students..there fault they coudnt organize placements for themselves..d fact that no one guided them for the method to follow,considering they were the first batch to passout is obviously is of no consequence here,right!and yea, this one point of not being able to organize placements on their own is the ultimate indication of their "lack of merit".right,again?..
BULLSHIT! Its people like you who have nothing to do other than pass comments upon others who gonna decide merit now?..Dude, get your facts right before posting..and prey, understand the issue and then comment..noone is "blaming" others for our problem..the administration is rotten and an initiative was taken to replace it. .but,forget it..ur analytical skills here amply demonstrates here your mental capacity to understand...so,rest it.

Does these [...] really think a hunger strike will solve their problems ? Typical [...] behaviour ! What a bunch of jokers.

going by your logic, first batch of all law schools should therefore gone on hunger strike for placements - WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. Therefore, instead of analysing others' analytical skills, try to assess yours!!!

NO offence to the CNLU students and I must say a job well done, but i don't get why they place recruitments in the hands of the administration. Why can't they have student coordinated recruitments like nls and nalsar?

@12..for heaven's sake please learn English mate! It is not that difficult language to learn. It was painful for my eyes to read your comment. and if you are unable to express yourself in the queen's language, then please express yourself in the language you are comfortable with. at least people will be able to make out what you are actually trying to decipher.
