Summary

The CLAP, the acronym of Committee for Legal Aid to Poor, is a Non-Governmental Voluntary Organisation registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860 (Act XXI of 1860) of India. It is a Legal Service and Juridical Advocacy Organisation, which seeks to accomplish Right to Life, Liberty, Equality, Freedom, Justice and Fair play for every individual in the society. CLAP got registered as a Society on 18th November, 1982. It traversed a long journey for realisation of Human Rights through the means of law in India. It is based in Cuttack City (the erstwhile capital city of Orissa) in the State of Orissa in India. It works in various states of India with primary focus on Orissa. CLAP originated at a period of the history of modern India when promotion and protection of Human Rights hardly occupied a conspicuous space on the governance agenda. At that time promotion and protection of Human Rights was primarily largesse of the Government.
