NLIU's partnership with NGO's in pursuance of the Supreme Court Ruling pertaining to the distribution of compensation to the victims of Bhopal Gas Tragedy has been widely appreciated. The University adopted the village Kesla to provide legal assistance and creating awareness amongst the tribal block of the area. The students of the university had been actively associated with the Narmada Bachao Andolan and played an important role in helping the oustees in registering their grievances with the Grievance Redressal Authority (GRA). The university has to its name a partnership with the Bhopal District Courts in organizing Lok Adalats, whereby students participate in settling disputes.
People United for Law, Education and Rehabilitation (PULER) is an initiative of the students of the University which aims at imparting legal education and spreading legal awareness, especially in rural areas. The cell has done a commendable job by organizing part-time classes for children and adults in the neighbouring villages.

Famous quotes containing the word social:
“... the idea of a classless society is ... a disastrous mirage which cannot be maintained without tyranny of the few over the many. It is even more pernicious culturally than politically, not because the monolithic state forces the party line upon its intellectuals and artists, but because it has no social patterns to reflect.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Anarchism is the great liberator of man from the phantoms that have held him captive; it is the arbiter and pacifier of the two forces for individual and social harmony.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
