Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh – Starting this academic year, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (DDU) Gorakhpur University is rolling out an exciting initiative to honor its brightest law students. The “Savitri Devi Memorial Scholarship” will be awarded to students in the first, second, and third years of the LLB program who score the highest marks. This move is set to motivate students to strive for academic excellence while paying tribute to a respected figure, Smt. Savitri Devi.
The scholarship aims to recognize and support students who show outstanding performance in their studies. While the university hasn’t shared the exact amount or number of scholarships yet, sources close to the administration say it will provide meaningful financial aid to help students focus on their education. Under the MoU signed between Pt. Harihar Prasad Dubey Memorial Trust and the University, fellowships and medals are being awarded across various courses. This gesture has been warmly welcomed by students and faculty alike, as it highlights the university’s commitment to rewarding hard work.
DDU Gorakhpur University, a well-known institution in Uttar Pradesh, has a strong law program that attracts students from across the region. The LLB course is rigorous, covering everything from constitutional law to criminal justice, and topping the class requires serious dedication. The new scholarship is expected to spark healthy competition among students, encouraging them to dive deeper into their studies. Faculty members say it’s a step toward building a culture of academic excellence.
The announcement has created a buzz on campus, with students already talking about how the scholarship could ease financial burdens. Many law students juggle part-time jobs or loans to cover fees, so this support could make a big difference. One second-year LLB student shared, “It’s motivating to know our hard work will be recognized. Plus, it’s an honor to be associated with Smt. Savitri Devi’s name.”
Details on the selection process are still being finalized, but it will be based on academic merit, focusing on the highest marks in each year of the LLB program. The administration is also ensuring transparency, with a committee to oversee the process and avoid any favoritism. This isn’t the first time DDU Gorakhpur University has supported its students. The institution has a history of offering scholarships and aid. It’s a nod to the growing importance of legal education in today’s world, where skilled lawyers are needed more than ever.
