Chanakya National Law University Patna, in its endeavour to

These five courses have been designed to give sound theoretical foundation and
imperative practical understanding to students for their professional success. Subject experts
in their respective fields have been roped in to give students unique opportunity to
deliberate on current topics in their subjective interest area with these experts and receive
invaluable practical insight for success in the field.
The PG Diploma course in Human Rights covers all the basic tenets of Human Rights,
including its theoretical foundation and its practical application for all vulnerable groups,

Cybercrimes are increasing in leaps and bounds. The course on cyber law is designed
for students as well as young professionals to cover the legal framework as well

PG Diploma in Intellectual Property Law has again been designed from a practitioners
perspective and therefore incorporates detailed content on processes of registration of
various intellectual property rights like trademark, copyright, patents and geographical
indications. In addition, infringement proceedings and remedies regarding the same has also
been proposed to cover in detail to equip the students with the practical and dynamic nature
of this law.
Corporate Social Responsibility is a critical aspect of Corporate space in present times.
To equip students with a better understanding of this subject area, the course has been
designed to give a thorough understanding of processes of corporate social responsibilities
and the processes through which NGOs would be able to assess the. Funds there under and
obligations therein.

 Message from Registrar’s Desk
- Manoranjan Pd. Srivastava
We are pleased to launch five new PG Diploma courses in the area of Cyber
Law, Human Rights, Intellectual Property Law, Corporate Philanthropy and
Corporate Social Responsibility and Child Rights. Chanakya National Law
University Patna, true to its motto, Gyan Dhanam, Maha Dhanam’ seeks to
make quality education accessible to all students. The University has built experience through its
various research centres to be able to contribute to building better understanding in these subject
areas.

We found many students seeking quality short term courses in the above areas and therefore took the
initiative to launch these courses to address learning gaps among students and young professionals.
These courses have been designed specially keeping in mind the practitioners perspective and
therefore has incorporated experiences as well as experts from the field to contribute in the teaching
of these courses.

These courses are of a duration of one year. The courses are designed to allow students interaction
and discussion in the classes, with experts as well as workshops and writing assignments to deepen
their understanding and hone their practical skills.

The Human Rights course has both international and national dimensions but it focuses also on
institutions involved in protection of human rights as well as on human rights of vulnerable groups.
In this way, it encompasses all dimensions of human rights and increases its learning value with
engagement with subject experts and field practitioners.

The course on Cyber law is well designed for students as well as practitioners and cyber experts. It
touches upon the various cyber crimes as well as latest developments in the field of internet and
technology like artificial intelligence, block chain and big data.

Intellectual Property Law course is also designed for practitioners as well as students with special
emphasis on processes of registration of various Intellectual property rights and covers some of the
newest forms of intellectual property like geographical indications.

Corporate Social Responsibility is one of the most important sources of funding from NGOs and we
feel that it is imperative that NGOs as well as corporates build their understanding of CSR for the
effective use of these funds in nation building. Hence this course is designed to equip NGOs with
practical skills of engaging with funding through corporate social responsibility and corporate
philanthropy.

Children are foundation of our society and are critical in nation building. The course in child rights
seeks to equip child rights practitioners as well as students interested in working with children, with
skills and knowledge essential to work with children.

We welcome all prospective students to explore our courses and take this great opportunity of
learning and skill generation.

 Message from P. G. Diploma Course Director

- Prof. (Dr.) S. P. Singh

We at Chanakya National Law University, Patna, are delighted to

offer five new PG Diploma courses in the subject areas of Human Rights,
Intellectual Property Law, Cyber Law, Corporate Philanthropy and
Corporate Social Responsibility, and Child Rights. These courses are of
one year duration and have been conceived by expert faculties with
input from field experts. They have been designed and structured to
address learning gaps in traditionally designed courses in these subject areas. Some of the
subjects like Cyber Law and Corporate Social Responsibility are not offered in many
universities which hinders students’ career prospects. In addition, due to dynamic nature of
these subjects, learning gaps have often been found in students and young professionals
working in related fields. It is to address these challenges that the courses have been designed
keeping in mind practical skills, exposure and mental temperament required to succeed in
careers associated with these subjects. Therefore we have endeavored to incorporate expert
lectures, deliberation and discussion, research projects, workshops and exposure visits for
effective learning process of our students. CNLU provides a conducive learning environment
and quality infrastructure to students to attain their learning objectives. We are assured that
our efforts will be well appreciated and these courses will contribute to the improvement in
knowledge and skills of prospective students.
