on 22nd September 2025 at Tongibari Gram Panchayat, under Jubarajnagar RD Block. The second followed on 23rd September 2025 at Gobindapur Gram Panchayat, under Kalacherra RD Block. Both events were met with active
participation from local residents, community leaders, and youth.
The sessions were led by Advocate Rupali

They provided insightful guidance on the provisions of the NALSA Scheme and
highlighted the legal remedies, rehabilitation, and support services available
to victims. They also addressed the importance of community involvement in
