An eminent lawyer Hon’ble Adv. Rajendra B. Raghuvansi, former Additional Solicitor General of India, has made valuable contribution to Nandurbar Taluka Vidhayak Samiti. When he was the chairman of the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa, he noticed that the knowledge of law was not reaching the doorsteps of the tribal people of Nandurbar district. The institutes imparting legal education were confined to metropolis only. It was his vision that even the tribal youths of Nandurbar district should get easy access to the legal education. With his untiring efforts he was able to fulfil his dream in the form of College of Law and Institute of Legal and Research Nandurbar. Now the Law College Nandurbar is a well established institute providing legal education not only at graduation level but also an aspirant from Nandurbar can all the way pursue post graduation in law without leaving the campus.
