DAV University celebrated the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, under which the School of Law & Legal Studies along with the District Legal Services Authority organized legal services awareness Camps in various villages of the district Jalandhar. This event was organized to provide legal assistance to the marginalized sections of the society and poor beneficiaries to resolve their long standing issues under the umbrella of Pan India Awareness and Outreach Programme.
Vice Chancellor Dr. Jasbir Rishi emphasized on the importance of legal awareness camps and encouraged the students to work hard as such camps have the potential to benefit millions of rural people residing in Indian villages and can help them to get social and economic justice. Registrar Dr. K.N. Kaul and Dean Academics Dr. R.K. Seth also congratulated the department for completing the three days camp. The global pandemic has made the role of Legal Aid Institutions more pronounced in mitigating the sufferings of people. It was organized to create an environment where justice-delivery is looked upon not as a sovereign function but as a citizen-centric service. The knowledge of legal rights and remedies were imparted to the peoples of different villages. They were made aware of the various machineries of the justice delivery system available for redress of their grievances.
Apart from that the procedure of approaching and utilizing various channels available for the redress of their grievances such as the police, the executive and the judiciary was also discussed with them by the law students.
