The Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) organized a two-day Community Para Legal Volunteers training program on 17th and 18th May, 2024, at the Conference Hall, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi to further its mission of democratize legal aid.
The training program was meticulously curated by DSLSA to strengthen Community Para Legal Volunteers within Delhi, empowering them with the skills and resources essential to serve as effective proponents of justice within their respective communities. This endeavour aimed to empower community PLVs with tools and knowledge to ensure legal aid reaches all, facilitating access to justice.
