New Delhi Domestic steel producer Jindal Steel and Power has invested about Rs 300 crore for setting up a law school as part of its O P Jindal Global University project. It will also approach corporate houses such as Tatas and Ambanis for more funds in the form of endowments. The college, envisioned by JSPL executive vice-chairman and managing director Navin Jindal, will be set up at the university campus in Sonepat.

The first session of the college, is expected to start in September. “Jindal Global Law School will be the first phase of our endeavour to promote excellence in higher education. We have infused Rs 300 crore and expect more investment in the form of endowments and donations,” said Professor and CEO C Raj Kumar of O P Jindal Global University.

The university is not only reaching out to Indian conglomerates like Tata, Reliance and other MNCs, but also to law firms, trust and foundations to get endowments, he said. The company is also ready to name an institute within the university after the donor who pays a substantial amount.

The law college will function in collaboration with the top institutes worldwide, such as Harvard Law School, and offer a three-year post-graduate LLB programme. The institute is also planning to commence a five-year undergraduate programme in law. Kumar said the school would have a competitive fee structure of Rs 6 lakh per annum.
