ANINI, Nov 19: The Arunachal Pradesh State Legal Service Authority in collaboration with the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law & Justice today held a Legal Literacy cum Training Programme for the Gaon Burahs & Burihs of Dibang Valley District at DC Conference Hall, Anini under the theme “Synergy between Customary Practices of the Traditional Village Council System & Formal Laws of India”.
The training programme which is being carried under Union Ministry’s DISHA Scheme – Designing Innovative Solutions for Holistic Access to Justice, was attended by close to 40 Gaon Burahs and Burihs, who came from different corners of the region. Also in attendance were stakeholders of relevant government departments including Yomge Ado, Member Secretary of APSLSA –Judiciary and DJ Bora, ADC Anini – from the district administration.
The participating GBs were apprised on various important topics, relevant to their roles as Head of the Traditional Village Council such as the Assam Frontier Regulation of 1945, the Arunachal Pradesh Civil Courts Act of 2021 (which now officially recognizes the Traditional Courts as a Formal Civil Court of Law), etc.
The participants were also informed & instructed about the “Each One, Teach Ten” (E1T10) initiative. The E1T10 initiative is an offshoot of the incumbent Gaon Burah project under which every GB trained and sensitized by the APSLSA will impart awareness to 10 ordinary members of the community on the concept of Free Legal Aid and associated schemes that the public have at their disposal, and in doing so promote legal awareness & empowerment to even the most remote part of the state.
