4th Free Legal Awareness Camp organized by Law Students at Khara Village

Sep 14, 2018

A legal awareness camp was organized at Khara Village by the members of School of Law, RNB Global University, Bikaner. The objective of this camp was to establish good relationship with the people of village so that they could openly discuss their issues and to inform the dalit people of the area about the SC/ST Act and their rights associated with it.
 
Students of School of Law discussed about Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan and importance of such missions in the development of the country. They also discussed various issues like rights of a detained person, right to be taken before a magistrate without delay; Rights of speedy trial, Right to consult a legal practitioner, Dowry Prohibition Act , Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 in which they discussed about what remedies are open to a person belonging to scheduled caste or scheduled tribe in case they are facing any type of atrocities, whom to approach for such remedy, and how to realize these remedies.
 
This was the initial and a very small step towards the cause; again with the assistance of NGOs and local authorities a more positive and long lasting impact can be created. Also if we can include someone from the community in planning and organizing of the program it would have better acceptability among people. The response of the people was heartwarming; it was great to see how receptive people were towards such a sensitive issue. The task is not complete yet as one program cannot create desired impact. Persistent efforts will only help the cause.
