The District Legal Services Authority in Jabalpur is looking for eligible individuals to serve as Para-Legal Volunteers (PLVs) for the year 2026–27. Selected volunteers will be stationed at legal service centers in villages, police stations, and other strategic locations to provide assistance to the underprivileged in accessing legal aid and government welfare schemes. The initiative aims to bring legal support to the grassroots level and bridge the gap between the public and the legal system.
PLVs will play a crucial role in activities such as locating missing children and raising awareness about legal rights and entitlements. Although the position does not offer a fixed salary, volunteers will be compensated with an honorarium of Rs 750 per day for a maximum of 10 days per month, following the guidelines of the National and State Legal Services Authorities. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have completed Class 10, and exhibit good moral character and sound mental and physical health to qualify.
The District Legal Services Authority encourages a diverse range of individuals, including retired teachers, government employees, senior citizens, social work students, healthcare professionals, and members of non-political organizations, to apply. Women associated with self-help groups and similar community organizations are also eligible to participate. This opportunity allows citizens to make a meaningful contribution by assisting those in need with legal procedures and access to justice, fostering legal awareness and providing timely assistance to disadvantaged communities in the district.
