'Mediation For Nation' Campaign started From July 1 To Settle Pending Cases Across Nation

The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and the Mediation and Conciliation Project Committee (MCPC) has launched the ‘Mediation For Nation’ campaign from July 1, 2025, with the aim of reducing the massive backlog of pending cases across courts in India. The campaign promotes mediation as an effective alternative dispute resolution method and encourages litigants to resolve civil, matrimonial, property, and commercial disputes amicably. The initiative will be implemented at the district and taluka levels, with support from legal services authorities, judges, mediators, and bar associations. It aligns with the objectives of the Mediation Act, 2023, which emphasizes cost-effective, time-saving, and voluntary settlement of disputes. Through mediation camps, public outreach, and legal awareness drives, the campaign seeks to empower citizens to settle matters outside the courtroom, thereby reducing the burden on the judiciary. The move is expected to bring faster relief to litigants and build a more accessible and efficient justice delivery system.
