Rural Litigation exists as a Non Governmental Organisation situated in the foothills of the Indian Himalaya. Our head office is located in Dehra Dun, in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
"The primary aim of RLEK is to fight the cause of the under-privileged.
Legislation is passed by the dozen to help the poor, the downtrodden and the underdeveloped, but somehow the results do not show themselves and the legislation remains on paper only. Having passed a piece of legislation everyone sits on it wishing the malady to vanish as if the medicine has the capacity of self application.
It is forgotten that medicine has to be properly applied in adequate doses by the physician. The medicine also has to be without adulteration.
Hence, RLEK began with the objective of getting the underprivileged their due. The aim was to get whatever was legally due to them. Thus, the first recourse was through legal remedy. But, if legal remedy was not available, we aimed to force the government to bring out new laws to further our cause. For this we also organised the poor."
Our current campaigns focus on the cause of the Van Gujjars, nomadic tribes-people of Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. The campaigns include literacy, elementary health and veterinary care, community forest management, and Panchayat Raj enfranchisement education.
The following page details our organisation's history, as well as giving more background to our current projects.
