Dated Aizawl the 25th July, 2025: State Legal Services Authority (SLSA) and Women & Child Development (WCD) jointly organized a training program for Nyaya Sakhis on laws related to women at the BDO Conference Hall, Reiek today. Pi Betty Lalrinfeli, BDO Reiek attended the programme. The training was specifically for Nyaya Sakhis from three villages - Reiek, Rawpuichhip, and Kanghmun - under the Nari Adalat (Women's Court) in Reiek Block.

The primary objective of Nari Adalat is to provide women with a platform to resolve their issues and disputes at the Gram Panchayat/Village Council level, without having to approach higher courts. This initiative aims to facilitate dialogue, mediation, and speedy resolution of disputes at the grassroots level. Nari Adalat can also serve as an awareness platform for promoting women's rights, community empowerment, and handholding policies.

Initially launched in Aspirational Districts, Nari Adalat has been implemented in three blocks of Mamit District, namely Reiek, West Phaileng, and Zawlnuam, covering 10 selected villages. The training at Reiek Block was the first of its kind, where seven members were selected from each of the three villages, comprising VC members, NGO leaders, respected community members, teachers, and SHG leaders.

During the training, participants were informed about various schemes for women's welfare and protection under WCD, as well as their rights and entitlements under the law. The training also covered the functioning of Nari Adalat, roles and responsibilities of Nyaya Sakhis, and practical exercises. Additionally, participants were taught how to maintain important documents and files. The training concluded with discussions and a Q&A session.
