IDIA // Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access

Описание: Please watch in HD.

The IDIA (Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access to Legal Education) project is a nationwide movement in India that trains underprivileged students and helps transform them to leading lawyers and community advocates. The movement is run on the backbone of highly passionate student volunteers from various law schools, who travel across the length and breadth of India to identify marginalised students with aptitude for the study of law. It then trains these selected students through a rigorous program for the leading law entrance examination, CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) and AILET (All India Law Entrance Test).

In the last eight years, we managed to get 111 of our scholars into the leading law colleges in India. With a rare fire burning in their bellies, each of these scholars fought against all odds to secure these hard earned seats. They reflect a truly diverse mix, comprising candidates from various backgrounds (children of farmers, stone quarry workers, shopkeepers and clerks) and hailing from various states such as Karnataka, West Bengal, Jharkand, Rajasthan, Bihar, Manipur and Mizoram.

Once selected to the top law schools, IDIA supports these scholars by arranging for sponsorships/scholarships and mentorship schemes as would enable them to blossom to their full potential. Our main goal is to empower underprivileged communities by creating skilled advocates from within. Unfortunately, law schools are very expensive. Please find it in your hearts to help us help these children. For further details, please visit our website www.idialaw.org or write to [email protected] or call at 09818841348.
