PARA LEGAL TRAINING PROGRAM


The Legal Aid movement is indeed at the crossroads today. The agenda for improving access to justice is an important part of social policy. At one level, social distinctions based on caste, class, gender and ethnicity impede the ability of citizens to approach the judicial system. At the same time, the limited reach of the judicial system further creates the conditions for more inequality since the oppressed sections are unable to seek redress for their injuries and grievances. In 2017-18, DJKS organized Para Legal Training Program on 1.7.2017 at Shekhodeora Ashram in Kawakol block in Nawada district in Bihar with the support of Indian Social Institute, New Delhi. A total of 30 participants (female) participated in the training program. Ms. Chunni Kumari, Zonal Trainer of Shanti Sadbhawna Manch, Bihar narrated in details about the Fundamental Rights-(Paragraphs 14-32) to the participants along with the topics like Right to Equality and Constitutional Rights. The effect of the program was good and the legal knowledge of the participants has now very much improved.
