If you live in Bhojpur district, Bihar, and want to do useful legal-awareness work in your own area, this one is for you. The District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Bhojpur, Arrah has invited applications for 140 Para Legal Volunteers (PLV) under Advertisement No. 02/2026 dated 27 October 2026. Please read one thing first: this is not a government job. It is an honorary volunteer panel, and the notice says so on every page.
Volunteers are paid an honorarium of Rs 750 per working day, only on the days work is assigned. It is not a monthly salary. The last date is 19 November 2026, and your application must be received at the DLSA office by post by then. Read this guide on GovtJobsAlert.in before you post your form.
This notice comes from the DLSA, Civil Court, Bhojpur, in line with directions of the Bihar State Legal Services Authority (BSLSA), Patna. Selected people are empanelled for one year, and the term may be extended. A state legal body runs it, but the notice itself says it is not a government post. More Bihar government job alerts are on our site.

There is no reservation in these posts, because this is not a government recruitment. The notice says all classes get equal priority and that women’s participation will be ensured. So no category-wise seat table exists, and you should not look for one.
The basic requirement is simple. You need to be Matric (10th) pass and able to read and write Hindi and English. If you know computers, write it in your application, as such applicants get preference. If you are a 10th pass candidate looking for government jobs, keep in mind this panel is voluntary work, not a regular post.

Men and women who want to work for weaker and deprived sections without financial gain can apply. The notice names retired teachers, retired government servants, senior citizens, Anganwadi workers, doctors, students, and members of NGOs, clubs, self-help groups, Maitri groups and Jeevika.
The notice does not state any age limit, so there is no age table here. The application form still asks for your date of birth, so fill it in correctly.
The honorarium is Rs 750 per day (Rs 750/- प्रतिदिन). Please understand how it works, so there is no confusion later.
Treat this as a social-service role, not a source of regular income.
You will spread legal awareness in your area and act as a bridge between victims who need legal aid and the DLSA. You will also do legal-service work at the authority’s front office and legal aid centre, and any other work given by the DLSA office.
