Odisha to launch 'Nari Adalats' for women's grievance redressal at panchayat level

Odisha is launching 'Nari Adalats' (women's courts) in gram panchayats to offer women an alternative grievance redressal system for harassment, violence, and rights denial. These courts, part of Mission Shakti, will be run by 'Nyaya Sakhis' who will raise awareness, resolve cases through counselling and mediation, and guide women through legal processes. The pilot begins in Malkangiri's Govindapalli.
