Notice

Dear Friends,

All the members who are working on the development of Legal Literacy Module are required to finish their outline by 27th of September 2012 and come for a meeting to discuss the draft outline on 27th itself at 1:30 pm in room no. 29. Please come with your respective drafts.

Project- Northeast

The northeast of India has consistently been plagued by problems of infiltration and insurgency. The existence of over 60 different armed groups in the area attest to the fact that there is something fundamentally wrong. The cause may be the lack of a political will to take appropriate action or it may lie in the fact that the people involved are taking unfair advantage of the underdeveloped state of the region. The answer can only be derived if one makes a close study of the facts involved. Taking just one side of the story is not enough. One must take into account the views of all the different parties involved to draw a definite conclusion. However, we cannot overlook the fact that whatever be the cause, in the end it is the common people who pay the price in this struggle.

Interactive Session on Legal Literacy Module

The session for student members of Legal Aid Society who had registered for the 'Legal Literacy Project' was held on 13th September in the Seminar Hall of Campus Law Centre. Dr. Raman Mittal encouraged the students to make the session interactive and the entire session was vibrant with numerous questions and suggestions shot by the students. Dr. Mittal presented the 'Legal Literacy Module for School Children IX-XII' which formed the backbone of the orientation. He went on to describe the objectives of the project and the desired plan of action. Suggestions by students were welcome and were instantly incorporated in the project.
