DLSA Sheikhpura Para Legal Volunteer 2026 — 100 Posts, Apply by 11 Sep

District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Sheikhpura, Bihar, has released DLSA Sheikhpura Para Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026 under Appointment Notice No. 01/2026 for 100 Para Legal Volunteer (PLV) positions. This Bihar state government engagement is a voluntary legal-aid role, not a regular government job, open to permanent residents of Sheikhpura district who are at least 18 years old and Matric (10th) pass. There is no online application; candidates must apply by post or hand delivery before the last date. Selected Para Legal Volunteers will spread legal awareness at the village level, act as a bridge between people needing legal aid and DLSA, and provide legal-aid-related work support at the Authority's office and at Legal Aid Centres, along with any other work assigned by DLSA. Since PLVs are expected to work in village-level groups, selection is done area/region-wise across all parts of Sheikhpura district rather than through a single district-wide merit list, and no category-wise reservation applies since this is not a government recruitment. Previously selected and currently serving PLVs under DLSA Sheikhpura must also submit a fresh application and may be given preference. Selected volunteers receive a honorarium of ₹750 per day, paid only for the specific days on which work is assigned, over a 1-year tenure. The DLSA Sheikhpura PLV 2026 application window runs from 12 August to 11 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Applications must be sent by registered post or delivered by hand to the Secretary, District Legal Service Authority, Vyavhar Nyayalaya, Sheikhpura, PIN 811105 — there is no online application. There is no application fee, but candidates must enclose a self-addressed envelope with a ₹55 postage stamp along with the application, and must declare they have no pending criminal case, are not a member of any political party, and wish to serve voluntarily without seeking personal financial benefit.

Candidates must have passed Matric (10th) or an equivalent qualification. Preference is given to teachers (serving or retired), retired government employees, senior citizens, Anganwadi workers, doctors, students (including law students not yet enrolled as an advocate), and members of NGOs, clubs, self-help groups, or Jeevika groups interested in voluntary legal-aid service. This is a voluntary Para Legal Volunteer (PLV) role, not a regular government appointment.
