Project Saarthi

We started Project Saarthi as an initiative to empower the impoverished, particularly victims of domestic violence and mental harassment, in the midst of the pandemic and lockdown when there was a surge in such cases, to promote our mission of delivering uninterrupted pro-bono legal assistance.

A dedicated helpline was established in order to maintain a direct channel of communication with such victims and provide prompt assistance. The initiative is divided into three segments:

1) Legal Assistance: Dedicated to the administration of civil and criminal affairs in general, with a special emphasis on domestic abuse cases.

2) Mediation: Aimed at providing online mediation and other ADR services by certified mediators.

3) Mental Health Counselling: Aimed at providing free counseling by professional psychologists.

LAC has provided legal assistance to over 80 cases in past academic years and is simultaneously providing assistance to a number of cases in the present academic year as well. The matters comprised of domestic violence, property disputes, execution of will and bail applications among others. In all the cases, paralegals from LAC provided mediation, answered queries, and provided legal assistance.

This Academic year, LAC is operating the project in a hybrid mode with the Legal Aid Clinic situated on the campus of NLIU serving as a Physical/Offline place of contact along with the existing online mode of operation. LAC has also released instructive posters on social media to raise awareness as part of the project, with the support of practicing lawyers, legal scholars, and psychologists

Project Aapke Adhikar

As a part of its legal literacy initiative, NLIU-LAC has endeavoured to keep its audience updated with basic developments in legal circles that touches everyday aspects of life.

 ‘Aapke Adhikar’ is a novel initiative by LAC that aims to spread legal awareness amongst a target audience easily accessible through social media. In the process, we hope to expand our reach to the underprivileged masses that are unaware of their rights. This is achieved through creating and sharing a series of specialized
posts on all our platforms. 

The posts are designed to allow grasp readers with its appealing appearance and crisply laid down information that is easily comprehensible and settled well with our readers. The premises of all these posts are selected to best capture those aspects of law, which most civilians are unaware of. It informs them of the rights they possess and the laws that protect them. For example, we covered the essentials of the amendments made to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The rights and responsibilities of people involved in the act of travelling by air were also covered as per the Director General of Civil Aviation requirements. 

This initiative was undertaken as a part the #legalliterate initiative and throughout its run we saw a considerable amount of positive responses and plenty of positive feedback from the readers, which was a proof of our success. It has also provided a great learning curve for many new members of the cell who were involved in the process.

Project Pukaar

As Arundhati Roy once said, “There is no such thing as the “Voiceless”. 

There are only deliberately silenced or the preferably unheard.” We at LAC take inspiration from this quote and to further our aim of spreading legal literacy, have started our new initiative – Project Pukaar. It is an initiative to spread awareness about the socio-legal issues being faced in our country, equip the general public with the knowledge of law and enable them to raise relevant questions. Under this we publish well researched reports for the general public.
