The Legal Aid Committee, BDS School of Law, Meerut, is a dedicated society whose avowed objective is to provide legal aid and assistance to people who cannot afford professional legal help. The committee has been working tirelessly to reach out to the under privileged section of society through the provision of free legal aid and legal literacy programs in and around the college in tune with the provisions of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. The extent of the valuable contribution of the committee has been made possible through the strenuous efforts put in by the students, professors and advocates who are inspired by the motto of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA)- ‘Access to Justice for all.”
The sole objective of the clinic is to bridge the gap that exists between what the law promises to offer and the harsh realities of the legal world. It is medium for the students to avail the opportunity of not only applying their legal aptitude and judicial mind but also exposes them to the practicalities of the profession. Following the motto “access to justice for all ” the committee had addressed variety of issues and from time to time Legal Aid Camps are organised in rural areas and in primary schools also in which the students provide the awareness about general laws to the people by the Nukkad Natak.
The committee is deeply committed towards its two main objectives; creating legal awareness and providing legal aid with the assistance of a lawyer at the Legal Aid Clinic at BDSSL.
