About 70% of the people are living in rural areas and most of them are illiterate and even more than that percentage of the people are not aware of the rights conferred upon them by law. Even substantial number of the literate people living in the cities and villages do not know what are their rights and entitlements under the law. It is this absence of legal awareness which is responsible for the deception, exploitation and deprivation of rights and benefits, from which the people suffer in the state. The miserable condition in which the people find themselves can be alleviated to some extent by creating legal awareness amongst the people.
Following steps have been taken by Delhi State Legal Services Authority for Legal Awareness Campaign in the State of Delhi:-
- Legal Literacy/legal Awareness Camps/seminars
- Implementation of Legal Literacy Missions
- Publicity through print and electronic Media
