Leaf through pages of history
Anil Divan’s legal career spanned decades, during which he argued some of the most significant cases in India’s constitutional history. The Foundation is digitising his papers and court documents from some of these cases including the Kesavananda Bharati case and the Jain Hawala Diaries case.

Community -Based Initiatives
The Foundation has been working with Zenith Society for Socio Legal Empowerment, a youth-led organisation in the Gwalior-Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh. Zenith supports and promotes legal awareness and access to justice in the region. Together the organisations have made legal resources, including Anil Divan’s law library, available to poor and marginalised communities, lawyers and law students. They have also set up a community rights centre for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, women and other disadvantaged groups.
