PM Modi Emphasizes Ease of Justice, Launches Community Mediation Module
India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, wants to make it much easier for people to get help with legal problems.
He said that making justice easy to get is very important, just like making it easy to do business or live.
He spoke at a big meeting about how to give legal help to people who need it, especially those who can't afford lawyers.
The government has already helped solve many cases outside of court.
The Prime Minister believes that legal information should be in simple language so everyone can understand it.
He also stressed that legal help should reach everyone, no matter how much money they have.
The Chief Justice of India called legal help 'nation building'.
The government is also using computers and online tools to help more people.
A new training program for community mediators was also launched at the meeting.
