The second day of REVA 2025, the academic-cum-cultural extravaganza hosted by Dharmashastra National Law University (DNLU), Jabalpur, on April 19, brought to life a charged atmosphere of civic thought, legal debate, and cultural expression. With its commitment to nurturing critical thinking, the fest spotlighted Vaak Yudhya, a conventional debate exploring the controversial and nationally significant topic of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).
The fest is being conducted under the insightful leadership of Prof. (Dr.) Manoj Kumar Sinha (Vice Chancellor) and Dr. Praveen Tripathi (Registrar), whose support and guidance have elevated REVA 2025 into a truly dynamic confluence of intellect and creativity.
Vaak Yudhya: Legal Luminaries Exchange Bold Views on UCC
A major highlight of the day was the gripping conventional debate Vaak Yudhya, which featured Shri Vishnu Shankar Jain (Advocate), Ms. Shazia Ilmi Malik (National Spokesperson), Shri Sanjoy Ghose (Senior Advocate), and Shri Pradeep Bhandari (National Spokesperson). These eminent personalities from the fields of law and public affairs offered sharp, layered perspectives on the implementation, implications, and ideological roots of the Uniform Civil Code in India.
The session triggered serious contemplation and dialogue among students and faculty, deepening their understanding of the complex interplay between constitutional values, secular governance, and community rights. The panel’s thought-provoking inputs turned the debate into more than a competition—it became a platform for civic learning.
Student Leadership Steering the Fest Forward
The energy behind REVA 2025 comes from its committed student organisers—Ms. Apoorva Singh Rathaur (President), Mr. Divyansh Gupta (Vice-President), and Mr. Divyanshu Chauhan (Treasurer)—who have played a pivotal role in shaping the vision and execution of the fest. Their efforts, driven by purpose and passion, were complemented by the mentorship of dedicated faculty coordinators: Mr. Shashank Pathak (Fest Convenor), Ms. Shruti Tiwari, and Mr. Gaurav Gupta.
A Platform for Legal and Creative Showcases
Spanning three vibrant days, REVA 2025 is more than a celebration—it’s a holistic expression of legal intellect, social responsibility, and youthful creativity. The event line-up includes a range of national-level academic competitions such as the Extempore Moot Court, Crime Scene Investigation, Deal Negotiation, Startup Pitch, and Youth Parliament. These events have attracted widespread participation, providing law students with opportunities to test their advocacy, problem-solving, and policy-drafting skills in real-time simulations.
