National Legal Services Day is celebrated every year on 9 November in India with the aim of empowering everyone with legal awareness and providing legal aid to the marginalized sections of the society.

Every year on 9 November, India celebrates National Legal Services Day, an important occasion aimed at providing legal relief to the weaker sections of the society. The day holds historical significance as it marks the anniversary of the enactment of the Legal Services Authorities Act in 1995. This law paved the way for provisions of legal protection and free legal services for people belonging to marginalized and weaker sections. The purpose of this day is also to spread legal awareness among everyone. This year's theme is 'Access to Justice for All: Empowering the Marginalized through Legal Awareness'. This theme emphasizes the importance of providing equal access to legal resources and knowledge, especially for those who are disadvantaged and marginalized. Under the Legal Services Authorities Act, sections of persons belonging to weaker sections of the society, including women, minorities and marginalized communities are eligible for free legal aid in India. National Legal Services Day reminds us of this provision, and encourages those in need to get the help they deserve.
