DLSA Chamba Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026

DLSA Chamba Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026: Overview

District Legal Services Authority, Chamba is preparing a panel of Para Legal Volunteers to support functional Village Legal Care and Support Centres and other legal-aid clinics. The notice continues an earlier empanelment exercise and focuses on taking basic legal help closer to communities across Chamba district. This is community service, not a salaried government appointment, and it is best suited to people who can listen patiently, guide residents and connect them with the formal legal-services system. The village-cluster model is especially useful in remote areas because residents can approach a nearby volunteer before travelling to a court or district office.

Posts and Disciplines

• Chamba block centres: volunteers may serve clusters linked to Sahoo, Rajnagar and Mashroond gram panchayats and their surrounding villages.
• Bharmour block centres: the listed clusters cover Kuleth, Bharmour and Durgethi along with nearby remote settlements.
• Pangi block centres: village legal-care coverage includes Dharwas, Karyas, Killar, Sach, Sechu Mojhi and Purthi clusters.
• Bhattiyat block centre: the Dhulara cluster connects several villages to local legal-aid support.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Voluntary service: the work carries no regular salary or wages. Only an honorarium fixed by the Himachal Pradesh State Legal Services Authority from time to time may be paid.
• Local focus: the panel is intended for named Village Legal Care and Support Centre clusters, so your application should clearly identify the centre you wish to serve and consider whether you can remain accessible to nearby residents.
• Community role: prior work helping people in need or supporting marginalised and weaker groups can be described in the prescribed form. This gives the authority useful context about your ability to handle sensitive community concerns.
• Existing service: if you have earlier worked as a Para Legal Volunteer with a legal-care centre, board, jail or another institution, record that period and any useful work completed.
• Completeness: an incomplete form or a package reaching the office after the deadline will be rejected.

Application Submission Notes

Use the prescribed Annexure-A application form and enter the name of the Village Legal Care and Support Centre for which you want empanelment. You can deliver it by hand during office hours on a working day or use registered post, but postal delivery must reach the office by the deadline.

Send or take the application to the Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Chamba, near the District and Sessions Court, Chamba. Attach attested copies of the character certificate, Aadhaar card, bona fide Himachali resident certificate, caste certificate where relevant, and educational qualification certificates. The form also asks about training, previous volunteer identity details and community-service work, so complete those entries carefully instead of leaving an unclear record. Add contact details that you actively use because local coordination depends on the office being able to reach you.
