In order to safeguard the interest of those who protect the nation, the government has come up with a new initiative named NALSA Veer Parivar Sahayata Yojana 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one-of-its-kind initiative the soldiers will be provided with legal assistance while they serve in harsh terrains and far-flung regions. This landmark judicial move sends a message: You serve the country at the borders, we will take care of your family at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scheme was formally launched at a conference in Srinagar by Justice Surya Kant, Executive Chairman of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scheme is tailored to address a longstanding issue: soldiers deployed in isolated areas often lack the ability to follow through on legal cases involving family property, domestic disputes, or land matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a soldier stationed in Jammu and Kashmir may have limited access or zero leave to appear in court proceedings back home in Kerala or Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the scheme, NALSA will intervene to ensure that such cases are properly represented in courts across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support will also extend to paramilitary personnel, including those from the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), and others who serve in similarly isolated and high-risk conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
