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.
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.
The scheme was formally launched at a conference in Srinagar by Justice Surya Kant, Executive Chairman of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).
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.
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.
Under the scheme, NALSA will intervene to ensure that such cases are properly represented in courts across the country.
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.
