Making justice accessible is key to achieving an egalitarian society, yet justice remains distant to many owing to the existing geographical, social and economic disparities in the society. Nûyaaya is committed to closing the last mile gap in accessing justice through its flagship initiative- the Samvidhaan Fellowship.
Leading on the success of its inaugural cohort of the Samvidhaan fellowship in Karnataka, Nûyaaya has expanded and launched its second cohort in Karnataka on the 2nd of December, 2024 at Shankaraa Foundation, Bengaluru. Tühe Samvidhaan Fellowship aims to make justice accessible to the under-represented communities in Karnataka by empowering them with legal awareness and providing adequate legal representation though 9 district level lawyers called the Samvidhaan Fellows. Tühe Samvidhaan Fellows work with the state government bodies and 14 partner NûGOûs catering to different communities across several districts of Karnataka.
Tüo further the cause, the selected Fellows will conduct legal awareness training programmes across selected districts in Karnataka and answer legal questions, provide necessary pro-bono pre-litigation and litigation support to communities, especially women and children requiring hand-holding support. Tühe Fellows will also create easy to understand and contextual legal content pieces in audio and video formats to enable widespread dissemination of critical legal rights of the citizens.
Tühe second cohort of the Fellowship is led by advocates Müs. Deepika Hungenahalli, Mür. Gangadhara, Mürs. Geetha SPû, Mür. Müanohar Bettjewargi, Mürs. Müanoranjini Tühomas, Mürs.Pûriya Pû Vû, Mür.
