Ambala, October 15

In a sui-generis collaborative move, the Haryana Right to Service Commission has tied up with the District Legal Services Authority Ambala for further strengthening the services delivery regime in the state of Haryana.

Presiding over as guest of honour at a mega legal aid camp as part of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Chief Commissioner Haryana Right to Service Commission, TC Gupta said the DLSA, Ambala, had done commendable work towards making the social sector schemes of the government reach the targeted beneficiaries at the grassroots level.

The event was organised at MMIM Block of MM (DU) Mullana. Speaking of the Right to Service Act 2014, he said the services notified under the Act would serve as a great base to the DLSA to spread its ambit towards making people aware of these services and the Commission, in turn, would ensure all possible cooperation from departments regarding notified services to the legal services authority. Gupta handed over Rs 1,100, along with a box of sweets, to parents of couples under the “Mukhyamantri vivah shagun yojna” on the spot. Loans to various self-help groups were sanctioned on the spot with certificates to the beneficiaries. Gupta praised Sukhda Pritam, Chief Judicial Magistrate, DLSA, Ambala, for organising the event. Sukhda Pritam CJM said she looked forward to greater participation of the Haryana Right to Service Commission in legal services activities, as 38 organisations of 31 departments of the government with 546 notified services fall under its ambit and can go a long way in easing the lives of people.

ADC Ambala Sachin Gupta, Secretary Haryana Right to Service Commission Meenaxee Raj and SDM Barara Girish Kumar were also present. Different departments had set up their stalls for people to come and register for the services they wanted to avail.
