Rahul E
Master of Laws (Access to Justice)
Bridge - PG Scholar in Law & Gender, 2023-24
I come from a background where economic hardships have been a constant companion. The financial burden was immense, and the prospect of obtaining a master's degree in law, given my family's economic condition, seemed like an impossible feat. I strongly believe that pursuing LLM at TISS will provide me with abetter perspective on human rights. Now, 'Bridge' has not only lightened the burden of tuition fees but has also become a source of motivation and encouragement, propelling me forward in my quest to make a meaningful impact through the realm of law. A lawyer with social compassion can play a huge role in ensuring access to justice for all people, especially the vulnerable. Being a Bridge Scholar, my journey at TISS will not only equip me with academic prowess but also instil in me the values necessary to become an advocate for positive change.
