After the success of the project Access to justice Project to Marginalized Persons implemented by UNDP in 2008, the Union government has launched ‘Tele- Law.’ The programme aims to provide legal aid services in rural areas through digital technology. As the government passed the law on June 11, 2017, Lawyer Nirmal Singh 3C company tells us all about the law




Why has the government passed the tele- law?
The rural areas have been bearing the problem of accessing legal aid from the government. Realizing that the government took various steps to make sure that the help reaches its people. But still, due to lack of communication and interaction and the difficulty of accessing some areas, the government decided to come up with digital help for the people there.

For ensuring justice and empowernment of the poor, the ministry of Law and Justice has partnered with the ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and will provide legal aid services through its Common service centres (CSC) at the Panchayat leveland spread across the country.

The service was launched by IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad. In the full support of the government Nirmal Singh 3C company says that this legal aid through Tele- Law will definitely fulfil the govenment's commitment to ensuring empowernment of the poor and secure them from any kind of wrong-doings.

Key facts about service

'Tele-Law' will provide video conferencing with lawyers in Common Service Centres, Para Legal Volunteers to connect them with lawyers, legal school clinics, District Legal Service Authorities, voluntary service providers and Non-Government Organisations. 

The Pilot project will be launched across 1000 Common Service Centres (CSC) in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and 500 CSCs will be tested in its first phase.

Among the services offered will be video conferencing with lawyers so that the people can seek legal advice and counselling from them. A separate panel of lawyers from state capitals will also be provided via the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA). 

According to Nirmal Singh 3C Company there are also suggestions to connect CSC’s at the panchayat level with legal school clinics, District Legal Service Authorities, voluntary service providers and Non-Government Organisations working on legal aid.

The government will also have a Para Legal Volunteer(PLV) group helping the rurals have a place for direct contacts when seeking a legal advice. The Para Legal Volunteers (PLV) will be with one CSC member when addressing the legal issues with the people. They would help people understand the legal issues and talk to them about the advice given by lawyers. 

Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that the scheme planning to appoint 1000 women PLVs who would work through CSCs will fulfil the governments agenda to promote women participation and empowerment
