Gokhale Education Society, founded on 19th February 1918, is an illustrious educational enterprise with a rich legacy spanning over a century. Founded by Prin. T. A. Kulkarni, a disciple of Namdar Gopal Krishna Gokhale, G.E. Society today has grown to encompass more than 140 units across three zones in Mumbai, Nashik, and Thane-Palghar. It caters to an extensive student population of 1.25 lakh through its various educational institutes. These educational institutes provide training in a range of faculties including humanities, commerce, management, science, engineering and para-medical training and always strive for the holistic growth of students’ personalities. The visionary leadership of the Late Honourable Sir Dr. M.S. Gosavi, former Secretary and Director General of G. E. Society added unparalleled strength to the advancement of G. E. Society.
“N.B.T. Law College” is one of the valuable stakeholders of G.E. Society. Established in 1969, the college has significantly contributed to catering to the need for quality education and training in the field of law for more than 50 years. The institute offers Diploma, Graduate and Postgraduate law courses that include specialised courses in Cyber Law, Intellectual Property Rights, Human Rights, and Forensic Science and Medical Jurisprudence.
The institute has well-qualified staff that strives to offer quality legal education to students. Adopting the principle of “academics to application” the institute consistently organises various Capacity-building and Skill Enhancement Initiatives, Moot Trials, Faculty Development Programmes, and Gender Sensitization Programmes, to accomplish the holistic growth of students’ personalities. The college also has an Electoral Literary Club and a Placement Cell. As a result of such constructive initiatives, the college today has to its credit an extensive pool of alumni who adorn prestigious positions in the legal profession.
Law education is a cornerstone of the rule of law, which is fundamental to the stability and prosperity of societies. It is important for both individuals and society as a whole. Law education equips individuals with the tools to advocate for social, environmental, or human rights issues, enabling them to be effective agents of change. It contributes to the establishment of a just and orderly society, the protection of rights, conflict resolution and the promotion of justice. It empowers individuals and fosters social change, making it a critical component of nation-building. G.E.Society is proud to contribute meaningfully to legal education through N.B.T. Law College. I extend my wholehearted best wishes to all its endeavours!
