A two-day workshop was held on February 21–22, 2025, at Rimjhim Hotel, Dehri-on-Sone, Sasaram, in partnership with the District Legal Services Authority, Rohtas. The workshop, led by Advocate Shashi Sharma of the Patna High Court, focused on the legal frameworks pertaining to child protection, including the Juvenile Justice Act and the POCSO Act. The training also covered practical skills related to identifying CICL and Children in Need of Care and Protection (CNCP), the role of PLVs in the legal aid system, and strengthening the functioning of local Child Protection Committees. A total of 30 PLVs participated—18 women and 12 men—with strong representation from marginalized communities: 9 from OBCs, 7 from EBCs, 7 from Scheduled Castes, 5 from Scheduled Tribes, and 2 from the general category. The high participation of women from disadvantaged groups was particularly encouraging, reflecting growing inclusivity in grassroots legal efforts.
