The importance of interdisciplinary work in a university can hardly be overstated. Centre for Linguistic Justice and Endangered Languages (CLJEL) aims to facilitate an innovative approach towards the ongoing research and teaching thrust, and also to become a unique initiative in the country, as well as a role model for other legal education institutions for interdisciplinary work.
History
NLUD was awarded with a very prestigious research programme based upon the funding support for study and research in indigenous and endangered languages in India by UGC. Thus ensued the work on endangered languages. This is the background against which a centre for linguistic justice and endangered languages was conceptualized. An advisory committee meeting of this project also felt the need of formation of a centre for linguistic justice and endangered languages at NLUD with the aim to bolster up these efforts of NLUD in a focused, and permanent way.
The academic council (vide item no.11 dated 30 July 2018) ‘considered the establishment of centre for linguistic justice and endangered languages and recommended to the executive council for approval.
