Veer Parivar Sahayata Yojana

The Veer Parivar Sahayata Yojana launched by NALSA is a significant step towards addressing the legal needs of defence personnel, ex-servicemen, and their families, particularly those in remote or difficult-to-reach areas.

Features of the Veer Parivar Sahayata Yojana

  1. Partnership of Key Bodies:
    The scheme is a collaborative effort between
    NALSA, the Kendriya Sainik Board (KSB), Rajya Sainik Boards (RSBs), and Zilla Sainik Boards (ZSBs). This ensures the scheme is implemented at the local level through a network of Legal Services Clinics in all states and union territories, making it more accessible.

  2. Objective:
    The scheme primarily aims to provide
    free legal services to defence personnel, ex-servicemen, and their families, ensuring that they have access to competent legal representation in cases like property disputes, land issues, and domestic matters.

  3. Legal Services Clinics:
    These clinics will be set up across
    Rajya Sainik Boards and Zila Sainik Boards, creating a nationwide network where individuals can seek help. This is especially important for personnel stationed in remote locations, who might struggle with accessing legal support due to logistical challenges or distance.

  4. Target Audience:
    While the scheme focuses on
    defence personnel and ex-servicemen, it also extends its support to paramilitary forces like the BSF, CRPF, and ITBP, who often serve in high-risk, isolated conditions. This ensures that these personnel are not left without access to legal aid, especially when serving in extreme conditions.

  5. Legal Aid Coverage:
    Through the network of
    panel lawyers and paralegal volunteers, soldiers and their families will have access to free legal aid for a wide range of issues. This could include disputes over family property, legal issues related to land ownership, and personal disputes—issues that soldiers and their families often face, especially when stationed far from home.

  6. Reaching Remote Areas:
    A major focus of this scheme is to cater to
    remote postings where personnel may find it difficult to attend court hearings or follow up on legal matters. By providing legal aid close to their posting areas, the scheme ensures that even those in the most isolated locations can avail themselves of the necessary support.
