The foundation, established by alumni of the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, is renowned for its commitment to societal causes and legal empowerment.

The collaboration centers on Project Saksham 3.0, a pioneering legal aid and literacy initiative designed to support marginalised communities with essential legal assistance and education. The MOU signing ceremony was a distinguished event, graced by Dr. S.C. Sharma, Registrar of Chitkara University, Prof. (Dr.) Ajay Ranga, Dean of Chitkara Law School, Prof. (Dr.) Manpreet Grewal, Head of the Department at Chitkara Law School, and Sh. Gopal Meena, Executive Director of NEK Foundation.

Project Saksham 3.0 is poised to make a significant impact by providing legal aid to underprivileged sections of society. This initiative aligns perfectly with Chitkara Law School’s mission of delivering high-quality legal education while actively contributing to social justice. Through this collaboration, both institutions aim to bridge the gap in legal awareness and accessibility for those who need it the most.

Dr. S.C. Sharma highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, “This MoU signifies our unwavering commitment to social responsibility and the rule of law. By joining hands with NEK Foundation, we aim to empower marginalised communities with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate legal challenges.”

Prof. (Dr.) Ajay Ranga emphasised the educational benefits of the initiative, noting, “Project Saksham 3.0 not only serves the community but also provides our students with invaluable practical experience in legal aid. This hands-on approach is crucial in shaping future legal professionals who are both knowledgeable and empathetic.”

Sh. Gopal Meena, Executive Director of NEK Foundation, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “We are thrilled to partner with Chitkara Law School. Our shared vision of legal empowerment and justice for all will drive Project Saksham 3.0 to new heights. Together, we will make a tangible difference in the lives of many.”

The initiative will include a range of activities, such as legal awareness camps, free legal consultation sessions, and workshops on critical legal topics. These efforts aim to educate community members about their rights and the legal remedies available to them, thereby fostering a more informed and empowered society.

As Chitkara Law School and NEK Foundation embark on this collaborative journey, they remain dedicated to their core values of justice, education, and community service. The implementation of Project Saksham 3.0 represents a pivotal moment in their shared mission to create a more just and equitable society.
