As a founder member and today the President of the Vidya Vikas Mandal, a unique society established in 1971 by a few like-minded and enlightened young professionals, I am proud to say that the Society repays the debt of gratitude by serving the noble cause of Education. Looking back over four dacades of quality Education, the Society manages several institutions on its campus with facilities upto the level of Doctoral studies.

The names of the only two women judges of Goan origin in the Bombay High Court, viz. Anuja Prabhudessai and Nutan Sardessai as also that of Atmaram Nadkarni, the Additional Solicitor General of India, are synonymous with the success stories of the College.
The vision and mission of the College have been guiding lights in maintaining professionalism and taking forward the belief of the institution in social commitment through legal education.
Law colleges have an important role to play in shaping committed, ethical and knowledgeable legal Professionals. I welcome all budding law students to this institution of legal learning and wish them a meaningful and fulfilling experience.
