The reach
so far.
Where the work shows up — districts, courts, camps, classrooms — and how far each line of effort has travelled across Year 1 and Year 2 of the Jan Nyay Abhiyan.
Six numbers that carry the story.
Across Patna and the six DLF districts, this is what the programme has put on the ground — combining APPI Year 1, APPI Year 2 (in flight), and DLF Reporting Period 1.
A first Apex Court filing.
Samriddhi versus Jayanth — a transfer petition arising from sustained domestic violence, voyeurism, and the non-consensual circulation of intimate imagery. The Hon'ble Supreme Court referred the parties to mediation; the matter concluded with a permanent alimony settlement of ₹35,00,000 and a decree of divorce.
What we said. What we did.
Toggle between the APPI Access-to-Justice grant (Patna + Purnea) and the District Legal Fellowship (Araria–Kishanganj–Katihar–Bhagalpur–Patna–Purnia). Each card shows the year's target, what's been achieved, and the percentage delivered.
The quiet engine.
Volunteers and community paralegals are the early-warning network — they are who the survivor calls first, who reach the police station with the family, who bring the case file back to the lawyer. Year 1 trained 50. Year 2 trains 50 more.
Volunteers trained
Paralegals, community animators, helpline volunteers — the ground-level cadre across nine districts.
From Mahadalit hamlets in Purnea to street-vendor markets in Patna — when a community knows who to call first, justice arrives faster and dignity is preserved.
Camp participation across the bench
Direct participants reached at the 11 legal aid camps held so far.
Where the cases land.
The bench, by district. Patna is the litigation engine; Purnea is the field engine; the DLF cadre extends the work into Araria, Bhagalpur, Kishanganj and Katihar. Three spillover districts are early-stage matters carried out of community fact-findings.
Caseload distribution
Cases & matters tracked across the nine active districts.
What kind of injustice, exactly.
Not all cases look the same. Roughly four families of work cluster the docket: gender-based violence, custodial & institutional accountability, housing & land rights, and access-to-services litigation.
From a single camp to the apex court.
Twenty-two months, seven inflection points. The work compounds — every fact-finding grew a case, every case grew a precedent, every precedent grew a community that knows its rights.
