In pursuance to this, the event at Bikaner, Rajasthan  is being organized so that it could also serve as a beacon for other States/ UTs to follow.

The event aims to reaffirm our collective commitment to the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India and celebrate the shared values that bind our nation. It will provide an opportunity for citizens to engage meaningfully in our democratic journey and empower them with knowledge about their rights and duties.

The event will witness the official launch of the program “Nyaya Sahayak” in 500 Aspirational blocks in India. They act as Community based messengers for generating door to door awareness on legal services and solutions of DoJ in Aspirational Blocks & Districts.

The key attraction of the event is the “Jan Sewa Janta ke Dwar” (“Public Service at the Doorsteps of the People") which encapsulates the essence of our commitment to the delivery of citizen-centric services to the citizens and inclusive development and empowerment. Several stalls will be set up by citizen centric departments besides the stalls of the Department of Justice for enabling citizens to avail all the services at one place.  This is an initiative undertaken with the active collaboration with District administration.  State Level Tele-Law Workshop cum mela gives rise to the opportunity to also confront the challenges that lie ahead and strive for continuous improvement and innovation to gather insights from our collective experiences, share best practices, and chart a course towards our efforts and initiative to make it a more responsive and inclusive iteration of our flagship programs. Other highlights of the program include the release of State Booklet of Rajasthan which showcases the information of important schemes of the State and about Tele Law program.

As a strong endorsement of Nari-Bhagidari Abhiyan of the campaign, a special women edition of ‘Voices of Beneficiaries’ will be released which contains 75 strong stories of legal action and empowerment by women beneficiaries under Tele law program.  This booklet acts as an inspiration for other women to become aware of their legal rights and take appropriate legal action by availing services and solutions of Department of Justice in order to solve their problems.
