‘Young lawyers can bring change’ Updated: Updated: Share Article Yashodha Vantagodi, SP (Lokayukta), speaking to students in Belagavi on Monday.
International Women’s Day was celebrated in Karnataka Law Society’s Raja Lakhamagouda Law college in Belagavi on Monday. Yashodha Vantagodi, SP (Lokayukta), northern range, inaugurated the event and addressed students. She gave away prizes to winners of various competitions. She urged young lawyers to utilise their time in law colleges to develop their personalities apart from gaining knowledge. “Young lawyers can bring change in society by taking up prevailing issues. In a way, they assume leadership of various sections of society,” she said. But, this power should be balanced with humility. Lawyers should be role models for young people and lead by example,” she said. Lawyers and police officers should work in tandem to ensure fair trial in the courts, she said. She urged law students to plan for a future ahead of their degree. You have to imbibe knowledge that given to you by teachers and practising advocates. But youth should not be content with just a degree. They should aspire for competitive examinations too. To prepare for this, you should take a decision about whether you want to pass or to gain knowledge,” Ms. Vantagodi said. She shared her experience of battling various challenges in various wings of the police departments like crime prevention, traffic management and anti corruption.
