Why Basic Legal Education is Necessary ?
By Adv Sandigdha Mishra

There are certain laws and regulation, basic knowledge of which is very necessary for a person, even if doesn't belong to a group which is related to legal field. If you don't belong to legal field, then have you ever thought 
" What would you do if someone stops you from going somewhere? ", 
" What would you do if someone stops you from entering a public place ? ", 
" What would you do if someone denies you an opportunity without any valid reason? ". 

If I am not wrong, Your answer would be " Yes, I have a right to do that thing, and the person who is stopping me from doing such an act is infringing my right".

But, the question is 
" Which Rights? ",
 " How to enforce it ?", 
"  Am I interested in enforcing those right ? or 
" Even after knowing those rights I couldn't enforce it, because I do not know how to enforce it". 
Indeed, it is true that even after having the knowledge of infringement of Rights, usually a person would ignore it as he doesn't know the means to enforce it. And it encourages such persons, who are infringing the rights of several persons without any reason. 

Moreover, this is the reason why certain basic knowledge of legal education is necessary.  

Our Constitution has provided certain Fundamental Rights for every citizen and certain Fundamental Rights for every person ( May not be a citizen ), but if you are not related to legal field, then are you aware of these fundamental rights? 

It would not be wrong to say that there are several person, who are not aware of their Fundamental Rights, and due to which they do not even become aware when their Fundamental Rights get violated without any cause.

Take an example of a person who is caught by a police constable in the street without any reason, and has been dragged by him to the Police Station. Generally, a normal person would only plead not to arrest him, because he has not done something which is wrong. This is due to the lack of certain legal knowledge, he is not aware of the fact that " No Police Constable/ officer can arrest him without a warrant ( except some serious issues ) ". Lack of knowledge is the main reason that certain rights of a person get violated so easily. It has been said that " Knowledge is the Power", and indeed it is not wrong.

An educated person would be well aware of his rights which no one can take away from him, but what about those persons who do not have any such knowledge and are exploited easily ?

How to know whether Your Right has been Violated

The main reason why a normal person do not take the violation of his rights seriously, because he lives under a belief that he would have to pay certain amount to the concerned lawyer. 
Moreover, he is scared of the legal process and the judicial system of the Country. And, indeed he is not wrong. But there is another way which can be used by you to know how your rights can be protected from getting violated.

Moreover, a poor person who is not able to bear the expenses of the court proceeding and the lawyers can run around to the Legal Aid Officer who is available in every District at the District Court. 

Then why to wait, take the responsibility to legally educate yourself as now a days it is very important to be aware of everything. If you have the basic legal awareness you can get effective and early results. 

"Don't depend completely be aware". 

It would be better if you could spread this word, not is a casual way but in a forceful way.

In today’s world, ensuring the safety and well-being of children is a top priority. The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, enacted in India in 2012, is a landmark law designed to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation. It outlines specific offenses, establishes special courts for swift justice, and prioritizes the dignity and privacy of child victims. Yet, the effectiveness of this law hinges on one critical factor: awareness. For this reason, training school students about POCSO is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Schools must recognize the gravity of this need and act decisively. I recently watched the Telugu-language legal drama Court – State vs. A Nobody (2025), written and directed by Ram Jagadeesh, which compellingly emphasizes the urgency of the issue. The film drives home the message that 'every child under the age of 18 should be aware of the acts and rules designed to protect them. advocating for legal education to be a core part ...
