Sunrise of Justice in Barumal: Mega Legal Awareness Camp on Sunday [Jan 18]; POCSO & Child Marriage Laws to be Demystified
Breaking News: A grand festival of legal awakening is set to take place at the holy pilgrimage site of Barumal in Dharampur Taluka, Valsad district.
This coming Sunday, January 18, 2026, the Shree Sadgurudham Hall in Barumal will host a massive Mega Legal Awareness Camp.
The primary objective of this event is to take legal knowledge to the “last person in the line”—the tribal population living in remote areas—and to spread crucial awareness regarding the rights of women and children.
Organized jointly by the Gujarat State Legal Services Authority and the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Valsad, this camp will shine a spotlight on critical issues like the POCSO Act and the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.
A Mahakumbh of Legal Knowledge
Dharampur is known for its tribal heritage, but often, lack of legal literacy leaves its residents vulnerable. This camp in Barumal aims to bridge that gap.
Starting at 10:00 AM on Sunday, legal experts and high-ranking judges will be present to explain complex laws in simple, accessible language. It is not just an informational seminar; it is a proactive step to empower the citizens of Dharampur.
Focus on POCSO Act: Shielding Our Children
In today’s times, crimes against children are a grave concern. A major portion of the camp will be dedicated to the POCSO Act (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences).
Judges will guide parents and teachers on:
- How the law protects children from sexual harassment.
- The procedure to report such crimes without fear.
- The safety and support mechanisms available for the victim child.
This session is vital for every parent in Barumal to ensure a safe environment for their children.
Crusade Against Child Marriage
Despite progress, the social evil of child marriage still lingers in some rural pockets. The camp will rigorously educate the masses about the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.
The message will be clear: Early marriage is a crime that destroys a child’s health and future. The authorities will emphasize that Education is the only path to development, not early marriage.
Dignitaries Gracing the Event
The seriousness of this event is evident from the list of attendees. High-ranking officials from both the Judiciary and the Administration will share the stage to guide the people.
Key Dignitaries & Officials:
| Designation | Department / Area |

Additionally, Public Prosecutors and Law Students will serve as volunteers to assist the public.
On-the-Spot Benefits of Government Schemes

Residents of Dharampur can avail themselves of:
- Health Schemes: Ayushman Cards and health check-up guidance.
- Social Security: Widow Assistance (Vidhva Sahay), Old Age Pensions.
