Bokaro district principal-session judge Md Sakir said that the Government schemes should not just remain on paper but people should reap the benefits from them. He said that the very purpose of the schemes is that the people at the ground level are benefited from it.
Addressing a legal services-cum-empowerment camp organised at IEL Ground on Sunday, Md Sakir lauded the efforts of the district administration and Jharkhand State legal Service Authority (JHAlSA) for successfully organising the camp where beneficiaries received assets worth over Rs 1 crore.
Referring to 'legal Services Camp Module' led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, who is also the executive chairman of National legal Services Authority (NAlSA), Sakir said legal services should not remain limited to legal awareness of the citizens but also educate the weaker section of the society to draw benefits under various schemes.
Over hundred people from different villages benefited from the camp which was organised under the guidance of Jharkhand legal Service Authority ( JHAlSA).
Rs 20000 each were distributed among two beneficiaries under disaster management from the district at the camp. As many as two dozens women beneficiaries were given gas connection under Ujjawlla yojana, while job cards, pension certificates were given under skill development scheme.
A total of 18 stalls of government departments, including health, social welfare, education, civil supplies, skill development and social security, were set up at the camp for the participants to understand their legal rights.
He also congratulating the beneficiaries said that JHALSA had carried awareness drive with regard to the camp due to which people in large numbers have benefitted from it. He said that people think that the services of legal service authorities are limited to providing legal aid to citizens. “To give a man his due as per law is legal service," he said.
