Kolkata, 25 February 2026: Dedicated to the Strengthening of the Rule of Law, Democratic and Parliamentary Institutions, and Electoral Processes, O.P. Jindal Global University has launched three new Degree Programmes in Electoral Analysis & Management, Political Communication and Legislative Drafting.
The launch took place in the presence of the Chief Guest Shri Om Birla, Hon’ble Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Guest of Honour, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Hon’ble Minister of State for Law & Justice (Independent Charge), Government of India. Other distinguished luminaries included Mr. Tushar Mehta, Solicitor General of India and Mr. Naveen Jindal, Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University and Member of Parliament.
The three Master’s Degree Programmes are:
• M.A. in Legislative Drafting

• M.A. in Political Communication
Designed as intensive one-year programmes, the three M.A. degrees respond to the growing demand for professionally trained experts capable of engaging with the complex realities of contemporary democracy—ranging from election administration and political campaigns to strategic communication and high-quality law-making.
In the Inaugural Address, the Chief Guest, Shri Om Birla, Hon’ble Speaker of the Lok Sabha said, “In today's democratic age, when we are the world's largest democracy, and looking at the current needs and those of the future, these master's degree courses will improve our democracy. The courses will help prepare young people who will give a new direction to the political, democratic, technological and literacy aspects of our country. They will improve our economic systems and give a new direction to people's participation in democracy. Since 1952, eighteen Lok Sabha elections have been held and India is the only democratic country where elections are held in a transparent manner. Our future generation will study Electoral Analysis & Management and do new research. The more our youth study this subject, the more they will innovate and active participation in democracy will also increase. Multicultural communication is necessary today. The Indian Parliament has also used AI technology to increase the proximity of the people and the legislators. These courses will prepare the future generation in a way that their participation will strengthen democratic institutions, democratic processes and judicial systems.”
