Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s N.A. Palkhivala Academy for Advanced Legal Studies and Research, Ramanattukara

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s N A Palkhivala Academy for Advanced Legal Studies and Research (PALSAR), located at Ramanattukara near Kozhikode, Kerala, is a distinguished law institution under the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan trust—founded in 2012 and affiliated with the University of Calicut, holding accreditation from the Bar Council of India .

Named in tribute to the eminent jurist Nani A. Palkhivala, PALSAR is dedicated to merging legal education with ethical and cultural values, aligning closely with the principles of Dharma and national progress rooted in India’s heritage . The academy is positioned as both a centre for advanced legal studies and a cradle for future-ready legal professionals with a focus on value-based leadership

PALSAR provides a five-year integrated BBA LLB (Hons.) program and a traditional 3-year LLB, both offered in English with a combined intake capacity of approximately 120 seats for the integrated course . The curriculum combines rigorous legal training with management coursework, enriched by comprehensive practical modules.

The institution’s infrastructure supports holistic learning: a moot court hall inaugurated by Hon’ble Justice R. Basant in 2014, a library with over 5,500 legal volumes and digital case‑law databases, smart classrooms, IT labs, cafeteria, auditorium, and robust sports facilities .

Student opportunities include semester‑wise internships, moot court competitions, legal aid clinics, financial literacy workshops, and industrial visits—such as the recent trip to MILMA by final-year students—demonstrating the college's emphasis on experiential learning .

PALSAR’s values-driven outlook is grounded in its institutional motto "Sarvam Dharma Prathisthitham" (“Everything is founded on Dharma”), and it regularly hosts events such as National Law Day, memorial lectures honoring Palkhivala, and policy workshops
