KOCHI: A unique initiative to bring together 1008

lawyers across the country to provide free legal

assistance to India's poor and needy is being launched

by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.

The aim of the initiative, to be inaugurated on

September 27 in the presence of Vice President Bhairon

Singh Shekhawat is to provide direct legal aid and

also make efforts to infuse value-based principles

into the justice delivery system.

It would also help in creating awarenss among the

people of their rights and obligations by providing

legal literacy of the basic laws, the math said in a

press release here.

Termed 'Amritakripa Neeti Prathistan', the advocates'

forum will provide dispute resolution mechanisms of

mediation and conciliation of disputes. It would

support the cause of those who suffer from human

rights issues, environmental aggressions and tribal

law aggressions and violations.

The forum also proposes to provide legal assistance to

the physically challenged, mentally disabled and

others who are less privileged in any manner.

The initiative is being organised as part of the

four-day 50th birthday celebrations of the Mata

Amrtanandamayi -- 'Amritavarsham 50'. President A P J

Abdul Kalam will be presiding over a CEO meet here on

Sept 26 and later in the day address a youth meet.

Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani will inaugurate the

celebrations on September 24.
