Union of India ,  wherein  NALSA took proactive steps to publicize its toll-free helpline number, 15100, across the country. This initiative involved placing the number  in  various  public  spaces  to  maximize  visibility  and  ensure  that  individuals, particularly  those  from  marginalized  communities,  could  easily  seek  legal  assistance. NALSA continues to provide ongoing support to SLSAs and DLSAs to enable them to fulfill their responsibilities under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.
