In Maharashtra, Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) serve as crucial intermediaries, linking the legal system with grassroots communities, especially in regions with limited access to formal legal services. PLVs conduct legal awareness programs and workshops in rural areas, urban slums, and underserved communities, aiming to educate residents about their rights, entitlements, and legal procedures. These initiatives cover a range of topics including land rights, women's rights, child rights, and access to government schemes.
Furthermore, PLVs provide invaluable assistance to community members in preparing legal documents, filing complaints, and comprehending intricate legal procedures. This aid is particularly essential for individuals facing language or literacy barriers or those lacking access to legal resources. Through these efforts, PLVs empower individuals to navigate the legal system effectively and assert their rights
