§ 02Apex Court
★ Supreme Court of India · Year 1 milestone

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.

§ 04The volunteer cadre

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. The number that matters is that bench at full strength.

★ Cumulative · Year 1 → Year 2

Volunteers trained

Paralegals, community animators, helpline volunteers — the ground-level cadre across nine districts.

A volunteer trained in Year 1 is now a peer trainer in Year 2. The cadre is not just larger — it is layered, with senior volunteers carrying the curriculum into new districts.

Cumulative trained (violet) versus active deployment (marigold) across reporting windows.
The volunteer cadre is the difference between a project and a movement. A trained volunteer in Purnea is the reason a survivor in a remote panchayat doesn't have to travel six hours to find help.— Programme reflection · Year 2 sprint review
§ 05Where the work lives

Nine districts, one programme.

DLF case load broken out by district — Kishanganj carries the heaviest load this reporting period (POCSO and JJB-heavy), while Katihar's spike reflects a single mass-arrest matter with 37 attached cases. Hover any row.

§ 06Thematic load

What kinds of cases walked in.

Thematic distribution of the GBV-specific docket — pulled from the GBV Project Target Sheet. The dominant cluster, unsurprisingly, is sexual offences and POCSO; domestic violence and dowry follow.

POCSO & sexual offences
Including rape, gang rape, sterilisation harm, voyeurism. Largest single thematic load across districts.
19
Domestic violence & dowry
498-A, dowry death, maintenance under BNSS s.144 / s.125 CrPC, cruelty & protection orders.
11
Trafficking & missing women
Indo-Nepal border cases, SIT prayers, AHTU referrals, habeas corpus petitions for missing minors.
8
Welfare & structural cases
Anganwadi PIL, slum eviction (PMAY), acid attack rehab, ration card access, juvenile justice transfers.

Activity-head delivery · % of plan
How each indicator stands relative to its full-year target — across both projects.
The shift from legal aid camps to continuous district representation — and from district-court alone to a Supreme Court bench — is not a tactical change. It is a change of theory. Justice as a season ticket, not a single performance.— Year 2 narrative · Janman programme team
