Durga Bhardwaj — Founder
As an advocate with a passion for human rights and social justice, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals and organizations through legal expertise and training. I serve as the founder of CherishRights Consortium, a think tank committed to fostering an environment that supports the rights and well-being of women and children. Additionally, I am a certified POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) trainer, equipping organizations with the tools and knowledge to create safe and inclusive workplaces. My legal practice spans various forums, including the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, District Courts, and specialized tribunals such as DRT/DRAT, NCLT/NCLAT, and consumer forums like NCDRC, SCDRC, and DCDRC. I have had the privilege of representing clients in complex legal matters, advocating for justice and fairness. I am honored to have received an award from the Former Chief Justice of India, Mr. Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, for my contributions to the legal field. Driven by a deep sense of responsibility and a commitment to justice, I continue to advocate for the rights of marginalized communities and work towards creating a more equitable society.
