A statement from the PMO said that the first ever national level meet of District Legal Services Authorities (DLSAs) will be organised from July 30-31 at Vigyan Bhawan by National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).

The inaugural session will be addressed by the Prime Minister Modi at 10 AM on Saturday.

According to the statement there are a total 676 District Legal Services Authorities (DLSAs) in the country which are headed by the District Judges who acts as Chairman of the authority.

Various legal aid and awareness programmes are run by NALSA through DLSAs and State Legal Services Authorities (SLSAs). The DLSAs also contribute towards reducing the burden on courts by regulating Lok Adalats conducted by NALSA.

The meet will deliberate on creation of an integrated procedure in order to bring homogeneity and synchronisation across DLSAs, the statement said.
