The Idea SIM card may or may not have helped you change your life, but the IDIA project definitely is going to help you walk the path you never dared to take before. 

Picture this: Ria Shauli, a simple nondescript  18 year-old girl from Basanti, Sunderbans, whose illiterate father owns a small grocery shop stunned everyone when she cracked CLAT this year, as reported by TOI. This is just one example of how this one IDIA has changed lives of many a poor student forever.

Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access to Legal Education (IDIA) has won many a heart and life ever since 14 of the 50 students made it to various National Law Schools. It has received widespread news coverage by leading dailies like The Hindu and Indian Express.

Bar & Bench has covered the entire journey taken by Prof. Basheer of instituting IDIA  till the CLAT results of IDIA kids.
