Law and Justice
As Sir Ivor Jennings rightly said the statement – “Indian constitution is paradise for lawyers”, common citizens of India find it very difficult to have accessibility to law and justice. The law of our land is that much complex and the accessibility to justice is much expensive that a large percentage of Indian population don’t approaches the judiciary of our country. It’s like a huge gap between the justice delivering authorities and the justice seeking poor people in India.
AGAM, as a Civil Society Organization, seeks to fill up this gap through legally empowering people by providing free legal assistance to the poor and marginalized communities. Making the law and justice machineries less complex for them and empowering them to know their various rights.
Our objective of making societies more just, includes following main points –
- To secure the rule of law and independence of the judiciary.
- To uphold and promote by peaceful means civil liberties and the democratic way of life throughout India.
