About Dr. P. G. Solanki Scheme for Stipend to Scheduled Caste Lawyers
The Director Scheduled Caste Welfare, Department of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of Gujarat, launched the Dr. P. G. Solanki Scheme for Stipend to Scheduled Caste Lawyers in 2000. It pays a monthly stipend for three years to Scheduled Caste law graduates, and also to the senior lawyer who trains them. Because many of these young lawyers face financial hardship, the support is meant to stop them from abandoning their practice midway.
