NEW DELHI, JUN 15, 2026: THE Department of Justice, Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India, organised a Regional Workshop under the DISHA Scheme, a Central Sector Scheme being implemented by Department of Justice and 'Reforms Utsav' yesterday at the Govt. Degree College (PG) Auditorium, Dharamshala, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh.
The event was organized as part of the Department's continued commitment to strengthening access to justice, promoting legal awareness, fostering a culture of pro bono legal services, and showcasing the transformative reforms undertaken in the justice sector over the last 12 years.
A major highlight of the event was the launch of “Nyaya Prabodh - Awakening to Justice,” a year-long legal awareness campaign aimed at deepening citizens' understanding of their constitutional and legal rights and responsibilities. The campaign seeks to strengthen legal literacy and encourage greater public participation in the justice delivery ecosystem.
Under the Nyaya Prabodh initiative, several citizen-centric activities were launched, including:
Know Your Rights in 90 seconds, a legal awareness initiative designed to promote greater understanding of legal rights and remedies among citizens;
Nyaya Quiz, an interactive platform aimed at enhancing awareness of constitutional values, legal institutions and citizens' rights, particularly among youth and students; and
Pro Bono Pledge, encouraging advocates, law students and legal professionals to voluntarily contribute their knowledge and expertise for the benefit of the underprivileged and vulnerable sections of society.
