 FREE LEGAL AID AND COUNSELING CENTER
We believe in progressive education ideology, interactive pedagogy that promotes learning by doing. As part of an explicit social justice agenda and primarily in response to a lack of legal services for the marginalized, the teachers and students engage in a variety of community outreach program through Legal Aid and Counseling Center. The Center has taken independent and joint initiatives to strengthen the legal aid and legal literacy programmes for making justice accessible to those who cannot afford it. The center undertakes the following activities:
a) Through legal literacy camps and capacity building programs educate/empower people on their rights and how to access them.
b) Provide pro-bono legal services to the disadvantaged and marginalized sections of the society.
c) Develop a strong networking and collaboration with NGOs, Government Institution and communities to ensure equal justice to all.
d) Undertake community based research projects to understand the working of laws and be part of the law reform process.
e) Initiate social lawyering through Public Interest litigations to protect and promote ‘public Interest’.
