She congratulated students and parents for making it to one of the most prestigious law universities across the country. While interacting with the students and motivating them to utilize the 5 years of college meaningfully, Atishi said the responsibility of building a better, fair, and egalitarian society lies with every youth of the country, including recently inducted students of the National Law University (NLU).
