DLSA Sangrur Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026

DLSA Sangrur Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026: Overview

District Legal Services Authority, Sangrur (DLSA Sangrur) is building a local panel of Para Legal Volunteers under the revised legal-services volunteer scheme. The role is meant for people from Sangrur's urban and rural communities who can help residents connect with legal-services institutions. You may be assigned to DLSA Sangrur or a sub-divisional committee at Dhuri, Sunam or Moonak, depending on local need. This is community service through the legal-services system, not appointment to a regular government post.

The panel is open to people from varied community backgrounds, including education, social work, health care, anganwadi services, student groups and service-oriented organisations. The notice also recognises retired public servants, senior citizens, members of self-help groups and other literate residents with an interest in social service. Your local knowledge and ability to deal respectfully with people are central to the work because assignments may involve vulnerable or marginalised communities.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Volunteer status: Selection does not create a salaried post, regular appointment or claim to government service.
• Task-based support: DLSA Sangrur may pay an honorarium for days on which assigned work is performed, according to the rates it fixes from time to time.
• Place of work: Volunteers may support DLSA Sangrur or the legal-services committees at Dhuri, Sunam and Moonak.
• Public conduct: You must not have a civil or criminal case pending against you and must not have been convicted by a court.
• Political neutrality: An active worker or campaigner of a political party is not suitable for this panel.
• Professional boundary: Law students may volunteer only until they enrol as advocates.
• Community focus: The authority can call volunteers for different activities as local legal-services needs arise.

Application Submission Notes

Use the prescribed form attached to the public notice and submit it offline to the office of the District Legal Services Authority, Samjhauta Sadan, Sangrur. Your completed application and self-attested supporting documents must reach the office by 19 October 2026 at 4:00 PM. The form asks for your preferred district or sub-divisional work area, so choose the place where you can serve reliably. Your mobile number is mandatory, while the form also provides space for an email address and relevant work experience.

Attach the self-attested records requested in the form, including proof of your permanent address and education.
