Khaitan & Co. establishes One Crore Endowment Fund at O.P. Jindal Global University

The endowment will support a Chair in corporate law, a special centre for business law and research, two medals for outstanding students’ academic performances, an annual lecture series and a negotiation competition jointly organised by Jindal Global Law School and Khaitan & Co.

Khaitan & Co. has established an endowment fund worth INR one crore at O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) for the benefit of Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) as an extraordinary act of philanthropy and corporate responsibility.

Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University & Founding Dean, of Jindal Global Law School said, “By the act of instituting ‘Khaitan & Co, Endowment Fund’, the Firm has demonstrated its deep commitment to promoting excellence in legal education and the legal profession. A law firm establishing an endowment in a law school is also a congruence of shared goals and aspirations. I am delighted that Khaitan & Co. has found such compatibility between their professional goals and JGU’s mission and has chosen us for instituting this endowment. I also see the vision of Khaitan & Co. of ‘leveraging insight to script legal discourse’ reflected in the aims and objectives of the Endowment. Where else, if not in the intellectual spaces of a law school, can such a noble objective be fulfilled? I am deeply grateful to Khaitan & Co. and the inspiring leadership of Mr Haigreve Khaitan for this initiative on behalf of, not only Jindal Global Law School but also on behalf of the community of law schools, which I also humbly represent."

Five key initiatives under the endowment

The endowment comprises five key initiatives including Khaitan & Co. Chair in Corporate Law, Khaitan and Co. Centre for Business Law and Research, Khaitan & Co. Outstanding Academic Performance Medals, JGLS-Khaitan & Co. Annual Lecture Series on Comparative and International Business Law, and JGLS-Khaitan & Co. Negotiation Competition.
