Convocation 2025: Dialogue with Constitutional Authorities
JGU held its 14th Convocation on campus on 29 and 30 July 2025, and more than 4,400 students graduated from all 12 schools. Five constitutional heads attended as Chief Guests: the Governors of Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. Each represented a different state or Union Territory, so the ceremony also became a celebration of the federal spirit of the Constitution of India. In their addresses, the Governors spoke about the purpose of higher education and the public responsibilities of a new generation of graduates. Diplomats, senior members of the legal profession and public servants attended as Guests of Honour, including the Ambassadors of Denmark and Indonesia to India. Convocation is one of the ways JGU keeps up a regular, direct dialogue between the university and those who hold public office.

Projects with Government
JGU’s work with government covers justice, enterprise, climate and disaster resilience. For the Haryana State Commission for Women, researchers at Jindal Global Law School carried out “Women Behind Bars: An Assessment of Justice in Jails of Haryana”. The study examined the conditions and legal needs of women prisoners in the state, giving the Commission evidence for reform. Jindal Global Business School has worked with the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India, on projects under the MSME Competitive (LEAN) Scheme, which helps small manufacturers cut waste and improve productivity. On climate, JGU contributed to the Indo-German Support Project for Climate Action in India alongside Oxford Policy Management India. The Centre for Water, Ocean Governance & Sustainability Law produces research that helps legal professionals and policymakers in India and other developing countries draft sound legal and policy measures. JGU’s contribution to disaster risk reduction was recognised with the WCDM-DRR Award in 2022, presented by the Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy.

A caution on the first section: THE’s metric here is expert advice given to government, and hosting Governors at convocation is dialogue rather than advice. It reads well and supports the page, but it won’t carry the metric alone. Keep the dated 2025 advisory entries (committee memberships, submissions) as the main evidence. The project paragraph also needs years for each project, so the assessor can see which fall in the reporting window. The 15th Convocation (25–26 July 2026, Chief Guest Justice P.S. Narasimha, 5,604 graduates) is best saved for the 2028 submission.

Where the convocation facts come from:

  • Dates and Chief Guests: JGU’s own news page reports that five Governors attended the 14th Annual Convocation on 29 and 30 July 2025, and that over 4,400 students graduated across all 12 schools and institutes. It also describes each Chief Guest as a constitutional authority from a different state or Union Territory, which it presents as a celebration of the federalism embedded in the Constitution.
  • States represented: The Tribune names them as Delhi, Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
  • Guests of Honour: a PTI release lists diplomats, senior legal figures and public servants, including the Danish Ambassador. A separate report quotes Indonesia’s Ambassador to India.
