About the Event

The event is called VIDHIKTA 2.0. Vidhikta is the confluence of two words ‘Vidhik’ and ‘Sahayta’. ‘Vidhik Sahayta’ or legal aid is the act of assisting those people who are in need of legal recourse but are dampened by financial constraints.  Vidhikta 2.0 is going to give a platform to redefine legal aid. It is a platform to express, innovate and gain knowledge through jam-packed events with marvellous rewards and additional perks.

1. Mock Lok Adalat;
2. National Client Counselling Competition;
