ACADAMIC PROGRAM-

The National Judicial Education Strategy (NJES) was established by the Institute in September, 2006, as a national level system for judicial education, with which it hopes to achieve its objectives in technical education. The courses offered here follow the same system. Instead of a 'teacher - student' setting found usually in academic institutions, the institute follows a 'solution driven' approach instead, working to eliminate the obstacles faced by the judges participating in a programme by identifying them over discussions in portals. Based on this, the institute offers 6 types of programmes to its three categories of candidates, High Court Justices, District Judiciaries and State Judicial Academics. There was an appeal made to the institute, requesting the institute to consider working on the decorum of the judges taking their programmes, bringing in the topics of the importance of judicial restraint and reticence as prescribed by Lord Kilmuir in their discussions. by B. S. Raghavan, a former IAS officer, U.N. Civil Servant and author.

TAKIA ISLAND OF HAZRAT SHAH ALI SHAH




Hazrat Shah Ali Shah Rahmatullah Alaih was a great sufi saint of Bhopal. He used to live on an isolated island in the Upper Lake of Bhopal in the 18th century. At that time, very few people dared to go to the island and the sufi saint used to meditate in complete solitude and isolation. After his death, people came to know about his ‘karamaat’ and started to flock the island. Earlier, there was only his grave there. But during some years back, the caretaker Syed Rizwan Ali has made some good constructions there including a domed mausoleum.
