KOCHI: The traditional method of spreading legal literacy is by conducting classes in villages. But the Kerala State Legal Services Authority (KELSA) is not content with this method. For, the campaigns conducted thus fail to have the desired results. So, the authority has hit upon an idea. It has decided to spread legal awareness through schools and colleges. The KELSA believes that desired results can be had if legal literacy is imparted to students in High Schools and under graduates in the arts and science colleges in Kerala. The KELSA met with success in conducting legal classes for women students of various Government and aided colleges. It now plans to impart legal awareness among all the second-year degree students. Second-year degree students in as many as 140 arts and science colleges will attend the sessions from July 16, said U. Sarathchandran, KELSA secretary. The programme is being implemented with the aid of the National Legal Literacy Mission. The KELSA has already brought out a booklet containing important laws, including marriage laws. As part of the continuing literacy programme for Class IX students, KELSA printed and published about six-lakh copies of `Lesson of Law' (`Niyamapadom') in Malayalam last year. The students were supplied the booklets free. Teachers of social science were trained so as to help them handle the topics in the `Niyamapadom,' the Secretary said. The Kasargod district legal services authority too has prepared a Kannada version of the `Niyamapadom' for the Kannada medium schools in the district. As many as six-lakh students from over 2,500 high schools were benefited from the programme.
