In the state of Haryana total 34 advocates are providing pro bono legal services to the marginalized section of the society.

Haryana has implemented several notable initiatives to ensure the provision of free legal aid services and access to justice for its residents. Here are some special features of legal aid services in Haryana:

1. Haryana State Legal Services Authority (HALSA): HALSA serves as the apex body responsible for overseeing the implementation of legal aid programs in the state. It works in coordination with district legal services authorities, taluk legal services committees, and other stakeholders to ensure the effective delivery of legal aid services.

2. Special Initiatives for Women and Children: Haryana has launched special legal aid programs targeting women and children, including victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and trafficking. These initiatives focus on providing legal support, counseling, and rehabilitation services to empower vulnerable individuals and protect their rights.

3. Para-Legal Volunteers: Haryana emphasizes the involvement of para-legal volunteers who assist in the delivery of legal aid services. These volunteers play a crucial role in disseminating legal awareness, facilitating access to legal aid clinics, and providing support to marginalized communities.
