Bhilwara. The Faculty of Law at Sangam University, Bhilwara, successfully organised a comprehensive Legal Aid Camp at the Girls’ Senior Secondary School and Boys’ Senior Secondary School in Pur. The initiative aimed at spreading legal awareness among students and rural communities while encouraging them to understand their rights and the judicial mechanisms available to them.

The chief guest, retired District Judge Shiv Kumar Sharma, inspired the students through Sanskrit verses and short stories, motivating them to work towards a bright and responsible future. At the outset, Pro Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Manas Ranjan Panigrahi discussed the core objectives of the Legal Aid Camp and emphasised that legal awareness is essential for building an informed and empowered society.

Special guest Vishal Bhargava, Additional District & Sessions Judge and Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority, focused particularly on girls’ safety. He highlighted the need for society to become more sensitive, aware and proactive regarding the rights and security of girl students.

Other special guests—Chief Judicial Magistrate Nagendra Singh, Judicial Magistrate and Civil Judge Eeshpal Singh, Siddharthjeet Katya, and Kriti Shekhawat—also addressed the gathering.
