Legal literacy is a vital initiative aimed at empowering students and society by enhancing awareness of legal rights, duties, and constitutional safeguards. Justice is the cornerstone of every civilised nation, and awareness of law ensures orderly social progress.
Lack of legal knowledge regarding civil liberties, human rights, and constitutional directives often manifests as social injustice. The Legal Literacy Club plays a crucial role in creating awareness, especially among women, to help them understand and exercise their legal rights.
Eminent personalities such as Chief Justice Sir Augustine George Masih, CJM Harsimranjit Singh, Session Judge Harpreet Kaur Jeevan, and CJM Manav have guided students on legal rights and responsibilities through expert lectures and interactions.
