The Constitution of India visualized a society in which equal justice is made available to all members irrespective of their economic and social backgrounds. Justice in terms of society would be meaningless if only a privileged a few could access to it. Article 39(A) of the Constitution mandates to provide equal justice and free legal aid to underprivileged, down trodden and weaker sections of the society. Thus, legal service is now a journey from charity to constitutional rights. In order to achieve the goal legal services institutions like National Legal Services Authority and State Legal Services Authorities are established.

Legal Literacy is one of the means of empowering common man. ​“Access to Justice for all’ is a vision of Legal services in India. In the present day it has become a distant dream for the villagers and poor people. Therefore, with an object of creating legal awareness to the rural masses and economically weaker sections of the society, the School of Law, Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bengaluru through its Legal Aid clinic aims to create legal awareness and to ensures that justice is available and accessible to all in need.
