How can law students and experts effectively contribute to the society?
Law students and experts are considered as one of the vigilant members of the society. They always work for the society. With the similar intention, we came up with this initiative of WeAreSAATH so that graduates can be part of this in spreading legal awareness in the society leading towards the upliftment of the citizens.

You have practiced in Mathura District Court. What learnings did you get from the same?
When I returned from Pune, I was in utter dilemma before joining Mathura District Court. I was in illusion if it can even contribute something to my knowledge. But, after visiting there I came to know the practical aspect of the courts. I learned every required basics of legal field by indulging myself into every small work which together contributed in nurturing my legal knowledge. This learning helped me a lot and I would strongly recommend every law student to learn the very basics of legal field.
After graduation, you pursued LLM from Symbiosis Law School, Pune. How has the same benefited you?
I was never prepared for pursuing LLM. Even fives days before the exam, I was so unsure about writing my exam but my family asked me to go and write the entrance examination papers. When positive result came, I thought of going as the course was just for an year. However, I had never expected such drastic change till I the time I finished it up. Of course I enjoyed there a lot but, my friends, staff, environment, competitive surrounding had hiked my confidence and aspired me to do more in life. Surrounded with refined students of the country taught me so much which is helping me at every walks of my life. That one year cannot be compared by any other experience. I met one person there, she taught be how to sink my problems with the happiness. And that is with me always. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.
Do you think law graduates should further study and proceed for masters?
As per my thinking, graduate who sees themselves in litigating field can give second thought before opting for masters. But, the ones who wish to explore their researching skills, train themselves in particular subject should definitely opt for the masters. It will help them in developing critical thinking and of course in gaining more confidence.
A word of advise for young law aspirants?

Never jeopardise with your life due to some one else. Give a smile to the problems and move ahead. Life is very beautiful. So, live it to the fullest and do complete justice with it.
