New lawyers face lot of difficulties in their first 3 years in legal profession. Unless they are from family of rich lawyers, they do not get cases or fees initially.
I think that Bar Council of India and State Bar Councils of all States should give Rs.1000/- per month for three years.
It seems Jharkhand Bar Council has some rules for this purpose.

Stipend Rules
With the objective to provide some encouragement to the young and newly enrolled advocates, Jharkhand State Bar Council has formulated and passed "The Stipend Rules, 2016" on 09.01.2016. Under the Rules a Stipend of Rs. 1000/- per month shall be paid to the newly enrolled advocates for the first three years of their advocacy, provided that the newly enrolled advocates are less than 40 years of age. The Stipend amount is likely to be enhanced as per availability of fund. The Rules have been sent to Jharkhand Advocates Welfare Trustee Committee for consideration and notification. The payment under the Rules is likely to commence from 1st April, 2016. The measure has been lauded as another landmark effort for enhancement of skills of the young and newly enrolled advocates of Jharkhand.
If you do not have any bad experiences with young lawyers of India, kindly share this article so that those who can do something in this area can be persuaded.
Humble persuasion is the only way I know to bring changes in society.
