Tele Law Programme under Department of Justice

Tele Law Programme under the Department of Justice

Tele–Law began its humble journey in 2017 by covering 170 districts in 11 States through 1800 CSCs. In 2019, 115 Aspirational Districts were added taking the number of CSCs to 29,860.
The tele-Law programme is presently operational in 633 districts (including 115 Aspirational Districts) across 34 States/UTs through a network of 50,000 CSCs.
The programme connects the disadvantaged and needy seeking legal advice from Panel Lawyers through an e-interface platform available in Common Service Centres(CSC).
Tele-Law saw a surge of 369% growth in the number of beneficiaries seeking legal advice during the last one year.
This medium was extensively used by common citizens for asserting their rights and entitlements during the Covid Pandemic.
We have touched a new milestone in June 2021 with more than 9.5 lakh citizens being benefited by Tele-Law.
Tele-Law is rightly moving in the direction of legal empowerment and in connecting the last mile through technology which is well documented in the booklet “Voices of the Beneficiaries”.
New Signboard for CSCs providing Tele-Law service was released that has been rechristened as “?????? ???? ????? ??????".
Even though the Tele-law programme is technology-driven, its success is dependent on the working of field functionaries comprising Village Level Entrepreneurs(VLEs), Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs), State Coordinators and Panel Lawyers. The event also marked the felicitation of twenty best-performing field functionaries under these categories in five zones of the country.
