Legal awareness and legal literacy lie at the base of any effort toward legal empowerment. Critical knowledge of legal provisions and processes, coupled with the skills to use this knowledge to realize rights and entitlements will empower people to demand justice, accountability, and effective remedies at all levels. MARG produces a wide range of legal literacy materials, conducts legal awareness workshops for activists and the community, and also trains state functionaries on legal provisions and procedures.

Sumatamanasa Sengupta Social Foundation thrust has been to create awareness materials that cater to a wide range of persons in terms of literacy levels; content and capacity of understanding and ability to use the information. Our legal literacy work rests on twin principles of simplification of laws along with developing empathy for the subject. This has been a straightforward formula that has empowered thousands of women, children, men, and young students in rural and urban India to internalize law and use it in their everyday lives.
