Our motto “Working Towards Justice for All” underscores our endeavour to impart practical knowledge and information regarding the basic legal rights and remedies to the masses. At LAAC, we encourage our members to engage in a foray of matters of public interest: legal awareness, right to education, women empowerment, LGTBQIA+ awareness, and pro-bono work.

In order to make legal aid more accessible, the Committee acts as an intermediary between advocates across the state of Rajasthan and those requiring legal assistance. The Committee also works on various policy-oriented projects to evaluate the standard of legal awareness and implementation of welfare legislation.

The committee has an ongoing petition in the Honourable High Court of Rajasthan for strategic litigation improving the conditions of the government schools in Rajasthan, a feat that was accomplished through thorough surveys conducted in various parts of Jodhpur, documenting the structural infirmaries in the government school. In furtherance of Section 12(1)(c) of the Right to Education Act, 2009, the Committee also assists in facilitating admissions for children to government and private schools in Rajasthan. 

In line with the Government of India’s Smart Village initiative, LAAC has embraced the Surpura village in Rajasthan. We are dedicated to enhancing the village’s basic infrastructure and public facilities, thereby contributing to its overall development.

Through these concerted efforts, LAAC strives to promote social justice, empower marginalized communities, and advance the collective welfare of the people.

Aims and Vision

The committee is dedicated to advancing access to justice and promoting social welfare through its multifaceted initiatives. With a core focus on imparting practical legal knowledge and information, our aim is to empower individuals with an understanding of their basic legal rights and remedies. We strive to make legal aid accessible to all by bridging the gap between advocates across Rajasthan and those in need of legal assistance. Furthermore, the Committee is committed to conducting research projects to assess the level of legal awareness and the implementation of welfare legislation. Recognizing the importance of gender justice, we actively work towards securing the rights of women through various initiatives. We believe in fostering a culture of inquiry and critical thinking among students, encouraging them to question the implementation of laws through the judicial machinery.

In alignment with the Government of India’s smart village initiative, the Committee has adopted the village of Surpura, where we are dedicated to enhancing basic infrastructure and public facilities. Our vision is to create positive social change and contribute to the holistic development of the community.

Through our collaborative efforts and unwavering commitment, we strive to create a more just and equitable society where legal rights are upheld, and access to justice is ensured for all.
