Under the scheme, villagers can have access to legal consultation with the help of para legal volunteers at Common Service Centre (CSC) which will be equipped with computers and Internet facility.
A person in need of legal aid can get consultation through video-conferencing at a CSC from empanelled lawyers of district and state legal service authority.
Rs 30 will be charged for the legal consultation, but in case of BPL people, this amount would be returned to their account.
Speaking on the occasion, Justice Misra said a big responsibility has been entrusted upon the Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs).

The scheme would help poor people in getting legal aid easily, Kumar said, adding that survey/settlement of land is being carried out afresh as lion's share of legal problems in the state are related to land.
Besides, various other services like making Aadhaar card, PAN, applying for passports, reservation of train berths and bill payments can be done from CSCs, Prasad said.
The scheme was already launched in Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Jammu and Kashmir, he said.
Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Patna High Court Chief Justice Rajendra Menon, Bihar State Legal Service Authority executive chairman Justice Ajay Kumar Tripathi and others were present at the programme.
