That is the object.\u201d&nbsp; Advocate Barun Kumar Das, spoke about the constitutional foundation of legal aid and the responsibility of the legal profession towards society. He stated,\u201cThe concept of legal aid is in the form of Article 39 of the Indian Constitution. It has been given for the needy and poor people who are not able to get justice from the court of law.\u201d&#8230;\u201cIt is not charity or bounty that is given; it is a constitutional right.\u201d&#8230;\u201cIt is not charity or bounty that is given; it is a constitutional right.\u201d&#8230;\u201cWe need to listen to the client&#8217;s pain. We need to know why he came to us and we need to note that down.\u201d&nbsp; Following the addresses by the dignitaries, the students presented an act based on a fictional legal case, giving the audience a practical demonstration of legal proceedings and the application of legal concepts. The performance added an interactive dimension to the programme and connected the discussions on legal awareness with a practical representation of a legal situation. The programme concluded with the closing ceremony, bringing together the day&#8217;s discussions on legal awareness, access to justice, professional responsibility and the role of students in promoting legal literacy. The initiative highlighted the importance of strengthening the connection between legal institutions, academic institutions and the wider community, while encouraging students to contribute towards making legal assistance more accessible. The programme served as a platform for meaningful discussions on legal awareness, access to justice and the responsibilities of the legal community. The interaction between legal professionals, faculty members and students also highlighted the need for continued efforts to spread legal knowledge beyond academic spaces. Through such initiatives, TIU Legal Service Society aims to encourage greater awareness of legal rights and responsibilities and strengthen the connection between legal education and society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":53316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2074,2075,2076,2072,2073,51,26],"class_list":["post-53315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-techno-india-university","tag-accesstojustice","tag-dlsa","tag-kolkata-2","tag-legalaid","tag-legalawareness","tag-technoindiauniversity","tag-techno-india-group"],"yoast_head":"<!--
