DLSA Nagaon Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026 — Apply Offline by 25 Aug

District Legal Services Authority, Nagaon (DLSA Nagaon) has released its Para Legal Volunteer (PLV) Recruitment 2026 notification, inviting offline applications from candidates interested in supporting the district's free legal aid and legal awareness programmes. This DLSA Nagaon PLV Recruitment 2026 sets a genuinely accessible eligibility bar — a minimum Matriculation (10th pass) qualification and a minimum age of 21 years — making it open to a wide range of candidates from the Nagaon district and surrounding areas who wish to contribute to grassroots legal aid work. Para Legal Volunteers, as defined under the NALSA (National Legal Services Authority) framework, act as a crucial link between the formal legal system and underserved communities, helping identify people in need of legal aid, spreading legal literacy, and assisting in Lok Adalat and mediation processes at the village and community level. Selection for this DLSA Nagaon PLV 2026 role runs through a Viva Voce followed by an Interview, assessing candidates' communication skills, community standing, and genuine interest in legal aid and social work rather than testing formal legal knowledge through a written exam. Applications for DLSA Nagaon Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026 must be submitted offline — candidates download the application form from the official website, fill it with self-attested copies of photograph, signature, ID proof, and educational certificates, and send it via Speed Post or Registered Post to the address specified in the notification, ensuring it reaches on or before 25 August 2026. There is no application fee for any category. Since PLV engagements are typically honorarium-based rather than salaried appointments under the NALSA scheme, candidates should read the complete official notification PDF for exact honorarium details, area of engagement, and any additional documentation requirements before applying.
