Nyay Shibir
Can help with
A day in a village hall, where advocates read your papers and explain where the matter truly stands.
Cannot guarantee
Accepting the matter or appearing in court. The shibir is an advice desk, nothing more.
Our work
This is the work we have taken on. Alongside each area we have set out what we are not able to promise, because anyone who has already been let down once deserves to know the limits before travelling a long way to see us.
Women's legal rights
Can help with
Maintenance, domestic violence, a share in property and difficulties at work — what may be asked for, and from whom.
Cannot guarantee
Representation of any kind. We explain the position; we do not act in the matter.
Farmer and land awareness
Can help with
Reading the 7/12 with you, crop insurance and loan claims, and identifying the officer responsible for acting.
Cannot guarantee
Any influence over a decision resting on an officer's desk. What we can do is make sure it has been asked for properly.
Cybercrime first-response guidance
Can help with
The 1930 call, the complaint on the national portal, and a written intimation to your bank within the RBI window.
Cannot guarantee
An assurance that the money will be recovered. Acting quickly improves the chances; it cannot settle them.
Citizen rights and government services
Can help with
Establishing what you are entitled to, and putting the request in writing when visits to the office have not helped.
Cannot guarantee
Persuading an authority to agree. That lies with the office concerned, and with no one outside it.
Policy and field research
Can help with
Recording the concerns that recur from village to village, so that the department concerned learns of the pattern.
Cannot guarantee
Advice on an individual matter. For that, please do write to us directly.
