Madhya Pradesh

In the state of Madhya Pradesh 2000+ advocates are providing pro bono legal services to the marginalized section of the society.

Madhya Pradesh (MP) has implemented several noteworthy initiatives to enhance the provision of legal aid services and ensure access to justice for all its citizens. Here are some special features of legal aid services provided by Madhya Pradesh:

1. Saanjh Kendras: Madhya Pradesh has introduced "Saanjh Kendras" as one-stop centers to provide legal aid, mediation, and counseling services at the grassroots level. These centers aim to decentralize legal aid services and make them more accessible to rural and remote areas.

2. Paralegal Volunteers: MP has a significant number of trained paralegal volunteers who assist in the delivery of legal aid services. These volunteers play a crucial role in bridging the gap between legal aid providers and the community, especially in areas where legal professionals are scarce.

3. Legal Literacy Campaigns: The state government regularly conducts legal literacy campaigns to raise awareness about legal rights and entitlements among the general public. These campaigns aim to empower individuals with knowledge about their legal rights and the available mechanisms for seeking redress.
