50k para-legals to be used for doorstep delivery of justice
Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Saturday said over 50,000 para-legal volunteers would be deployed to deliver justice at people's doorstep through digital technology. They would work at the gram panchayat level and connect those in need with lawyers through video conferencing. Lawyers had earlier been nominated to provide free legal assistance to the needy through this route.
