They are trained individuals from various walks of life who provide basic legal assistance and awareness at the grassroots level. This article outlines the process of becoming a PLV, the eligibility criteria, the training involved, and the responsibilities of a PLV under the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">What is the Para-Legal Volunteer Scheme?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The Para-Legal Volunteer Scheme, launched by NALSA in 2009, aims to extend legal aid to all sections of society, particularly those in remote areas, by training volunteers from diverse backgrounds. PLVs are expected to act as intermediaries, connecting people with legal services and resolving disputes at the local level. The scheme focuses on reaching out to people rather than waiting for them to approach legal institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong
