This initiative stems from a Supreme Court judgment highlighting the importance of enhancing public awareness about the legal aid framework, the statement said.

In line with this, the competition will focus on various NALSA schemes and related topics, divided across different zones, it added.

In the pan-India zonal competition, law colleges will submit their two best entries in each of the two categories -- reels and short films -- and the winners will be awarded cash prizes.

"This endeavour will not only empower law students to creatively engage with pressing social issues but also further NALSA's ongoing commitment to enhancing access to legal aid for those in need across the nation," the statement said.
