Serve country at borders, we’ll take care of your family: Govt launches legal aid for soldiers
On Kargil Vijay Diwas 2025, the Indian government rolled out a historic new scheme—NALSA Veer Parivar Sahayata Yojana 2025—to provide free, proactive legal aid to soldiers, veterans, and their families. The initiative, launched in Srinagar by Justice Surya Kant and attended by top dignitaries, is meant to ease the personal legal burdens soldiers often face while posted in tough and remote locations.
Key points:
- Soldiers and paramilitary personnel serving in remote areas can’t always handle family legal issues like property or domestic disputes.
- Under the new scheme, NALSA’s panel lawyers and volunteers will represent soldiers’ families in courts across the country.
- Legal services clinics are being set up in Sainik Welfare Boards and ex-servicemen’s offices, ensuring help reaches even rural families.
- The scheme includes digital legal consultations, helplines, and awareness sessions.
- The message: “You serve the country at the borders, we’ll take care of your family at home.”
This initiative is a long-overdue step in supporting those who protect the nation—extending care beyond the battlefield to their families’ well-being and justice. 🇮🇳
