A mega legal assistance and service camp will be organised on 1 November 2026 at the Padma Shri Kaka Hathrasi Smriti Manch in the Shri Dauji Maharaj Mela Pandal in Hathras. The camp is being organised under the direction of the Uttar Pradesh State Legal Services Authority, Lucknow, and on the orders of District Judge Vinay Kumar-III.

The event will bring legal assistance and information about government welfare schemes to people at a single location. A total of 36 stalls from 25 departments will be set up at the camp. Eligible beneficiaries will be provided information about the schemes and assistance to access their benefits through these stalls.

District Legal Services Authority Secretary Anu Chaudhary and District Development Officer P.N. Yadav inspected the venue on Friday to review the preparations. During the inspection, they checked the locations identified for stalls of different departments, arrangements for the movement of visitors, seating facilities and vehicle parking.

The officials directed the concerned officers and employees to complete all preparations within the scheduled time. The instructions were issued so that people attending the camp do not face any inconvenience.

Sub-Inspector Krishnakant, the in-charge of the Shri Dauji Maharaj outpost, was also directed to ensure smooth traffic arrangements and make proper security arrangements at the venue.

Anu Chaudhary said the main objective of the camp is to provide judicial assistance to poor, deprived, helpless and needy people at one place. The camp will also help them access various government welfare schemes.

Stalls from the revenue, police, labour, social welfare, women and child development, health, education, banking, insurance, electricity and local body departments will be among those set up at the camp. In all, 25 departments will put up 36 stalls.

People attending the camp will be able to receive free legal advice. They will also get information and assistance related to the disposal of cases through the Lok Adalat, mediation and counselling services.

Assistance will be available through the concerned departments for disability certificates, compensation schemes, old-age pensions, disability pensions and medical assistance. Information and support related to Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana will also be provided.

The camp will further address issues related to MGNREGA job cards and payments. Assistance will also be available for birth and death registration. People will be able to obtain information and necessary support for services related to Aadhaar cards.

The District Legal Services Authority has appealed to the general public to attend the mega camp on 1 November in large numbers. Eligible beneficiaries have been asked to bring the documents required for the relevant scheme.

Beneficiaries will need to register at the camp to avail themselves of the available schemes and services. The organisers said the camp aims to provide judicial assistance and the combined benefits of government schemes to citizens at one place, helping them become empowered and self-reliant.
