Dear Friend,
As you know that we have established the Barefoot Lawyers Training Institute. Honourable Justice Smt. Gyan Sudha Mishra of Rajasthan High Court who is also the Chairperson of the State Legal Services Authority formally inaugurated the Institute on 14th May 2006. The purpose of this Institute is to develop a Socio-Legal Strategy of the Millennium to equip grassroots social workers with basic legal knowledge of practical value and at the same time to develop trust and confidence through their commitment, dedication and orientation towards people’s empowerment. To realize such a strategy we have to shift emphasis from Ivory Tower to real world approach to reflect expectations of the society at large and to realise the principle of ‘equality of arms’ in the administration of justice. You can very well understand that such an institution necessarily has to be completely free from any kind of power play, whether of any agency or Government authority and for such vocational Institution to survive it is vital to engage those who helped in creating them. Therefore, to eliminate dependency we have decided only to approach our well wishers, both individual and institutions for financial assistance. We have already organized four such training programmes where we had interactions with 120 participants from different organizations and different districts of the state. The Institute’s programmes have been highly successful and the participants found them very enlightening, encouraging and innovative. Now we plan to cover all the Hindi speaking states. The programmes are infact exercises for self-development and activation of thinking process. We are enclosing the concept note as well as the list of our Advisory Board along with this appeal.
We appeal to you to advance your financial support also according to your convenience. It will greatly strengthen our efforts and facilitate programme organization.
The cheques or the amount may be remitted in the name of ‘Academy For Socio Legal Studies, Jaipur.’
With regards,
Prem Krishna Sharma
