President of India Kovind graces Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Karnatak Law Society and Raja Lakhamgouda Law College

New Delhi, Sept 15 (IBNS): President of India Ram Nath Kovind graced and addressed the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Karnatak Law Society and the Raja Lakhamgouda Law College on Saturday in Belagavi, Karnataka.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said that law is not a career, it is a calling.

It is a mechanism to assist the cause of justice, to help the poorest and most unfortunate among us, and to build a society and nation defined by adherence to rules, norms and fairness. Advocates and judges are, in the ultimate analysis, seekers of truth.

The President said that we live in an age of technology and of entrepreneurship. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us.

It is changing how we live and work. It is also changing aspirations of our young people.

"Our educational institutions have to become compatible with this quest for innovation and excellence. They have to become compatible with the 21st century," Kovind said.


The President said that the teaching of law, the very evolution of law, amid rapid technological development is critical.

The time span for an innovation to take place, and for its mass application in society, is shortening very sharply.

This will throw up numerous challenges for law – in areas such as genetic engineering, bioethics and artificial intelligence, among others. The legal profession has to respond quickly.

He expressed confidence that our leading legal minds will put their thoughts into such matters.
