President's Message

Pravasi legal cell had its inspired and enthusiastic beginning when the need of opening the doors of justice to people who cannot walk the lengthy and costly route of grievance redressal system was felt strongly. Having no voice is no reason for anyone to suffer injustice and to live with it. The aim of rendering voice to the voiceless and demanding justice for people who have no access to the system, either due to ignorance or due to lack, has been the motivational force behind this endeavor.

      The cell has completed a decade of its fruitful and happening existence. The smile that justice brings on the face of people, otherwise harassed and made hopeless by situations, guides its journey ahead, further motivated and inspired.

        It has been a decade… Changes have been made … Smiles have bloomed … Now it’s the time to Strengthen and Expand further… Come… Join With Us… Let’s  make the Difference.
