Students of the fourth and fifth year LL.B are taken to villages and made to enquire into the deficiencies prevailing in the villages through a scientific questionnaire. This includes, the day to day problems facing them, their level of literacy and the lack of legal knowledge. Through this method the students in these villages ascertain their problems. In this programme a group of students assisted by a staff member would provide the necessary advice tackle the routine legal, social and economic problems facing them. University Law College has been consistently holding this programme since the introduction of the 5 years LL.B programme in the year 1985-86
