• Jidnyasa: – As far as New Education Policy 2020 is concerned, it lays down the notion of a ‘knowledge of many arts’ or what in modern times is often called the ‘liberal arts’ (i.e., a liberal notion of the arts) must be brought back to Indian education, as it is exactly the kind of education that will be required for the 21st century.
  Considering this aspect of education; Centre seeks to explore Indian traditional Knowledge in innovative way i.e. Jidnyasa. This is an experiment/innovative idea in the field of education and a unique annual culture academic activity which explores Indian
  Traditional Knowledge in relation with Law. An objective of Jidnyasa is to imbibe Indian culture and values in the younger generation of India and also to understand Indian Jurisprudence.
  Bharud, Pravachan, Kirtan were effective modes of creating awareness in society and thus that is the cultural heritage of Maharashtra. Even after the development in technology and emergence of social media; these modes are effective in creating awareness and imbibing values among the young generation. Thus, Jidnyasa is unique in a sense of protecting the cultural heritage of Maharashtra. Secondly, it is culture academic i.e. combination of culture and academics in Legal fraternity by which the younger generation may feel the era in which the above-mentioned modes were only the ways to create awareness.
  Till date, the centre has organised two editions of Jidnyasa in which there was study of Ramayana and Mahabharata.
