In Gujarat, Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) serve as vital intermediaries, bridging the gap between the legal system and grassroots communities, particularly in areas with limited access to formal legal services. PLVs facilitate mediation sessions and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to resolve conflicts and disputes within communities. By fostering dialogue and reconciliation, PLVs actively work to prevent the escalation of disputes and ease the burden on formal legal institutions. Moreover, PLVs diligently monitor legal cases and provide support to litigants by accompanying them to courts, assisting with court procedures, and ensuring that their cases receive timely attention. This dedication ensures that marginalized individuals and communities can access justice effectively, safeguarding their rights and interests.
