Dhruv Boss Foundation

“Whenever anyone thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust” In a country like India, young lawyers face various hurdles in their professional sphere, be it in terms to court practice, dealings with employees, job search, choosing the right expertise, financial securement etc. Hurdles can very easily dissuade young lawyers, especially if they being first generations. These problems have immensely increased amidst the pandemic. Layoffs are a need of the hour when the world is suffering through one of the greatest pandemic of the century. With a hard-hit economy, a halt on many networking opportunities, and fewer new jobs available, the outlook is uncertain for recent graduates attempting to get their careers off the ground. However, feeling downhearted and helpless due to the lack of resources is not erroneous.
Young lawyers have faced unique mental health challenges as well since the coronavirus pandemic upended the legal industry and placed restrictions on how and where they could practice. Many young attorneys are forced to navigate an uncertain job market created by the pandemic, hustle through uncertainty to meet their billable hour requirements or find ways to build their reputation despite the crisis. Without collective efforts, support and gracious aids, the pandemic could have a devastating impact on the mental health of the next generation of lawyers moreover the current fraternity. In various countries apart from India, the situation has been ground shaking. Even after lockdown is uplifted, we will never resume back to old mechanisms.
Such times call us to reiterate the wordings of the great philosopher as mentioned herein-above by Plato in his book The Republic,“Whenever anyone thinks that he can safely be unjust..., there he is unjust”. Do we really see corporates laying off employees as a choice or as a compulsion due to low finances. Who is to blame in times of pandemic. The answer is no one. We all are facing difficulties during these testing times, be it corporate giants or the innocent employees. Such testing times,or we may say times of necessity calls for invention, not forgetting the famous proverb “necessity is the mother of invention”. On these similar lines, we at Dhruv Bose Foundation stand firmly with the vision and moto of aiding the poor in times of crisis, equipping the needy with basic amenities, along with standing firmly for a profession of which Dhruv Bose, in whose loving memory the said foundation was established, was a part of.
Aiding young lawyers and lawyers of the profession forms part of a very crucial component of this foundation. Dhruv being a lawyer, and especially that lawyer who believed in being genuine, respectful and giving back to those who were less privileged, this foundation works on this well founded principal. The foundation would strive to aid young lawyers and lawyers during financial crisis, emotional instability and aiding them with basic amenities. To encourage diverse support from the legal fraternity, Dhruv Bose Foundation in association with ABA Law Office is striving to reach new dimensions of community participation. ABA Law office has been working for the betterment of the society since 2012.
