Right to
Information Act 2005 mandates timely
response to citizen requests for government information. It is an initiative
taken by Department of Personnel and Training, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances
and Pensions to provide a– RTI Portal Gateway to the citizens for quick
search of information on the details of first Appellate Authorities, PIOs
etc. amongst others, besides access to RTI related information / disclosures
published on the web by various Public Authorities under the government of
India as well as the State Governments. The basic object of
the Right to Information Act is to empower the citizens, promote transparency
and accountability in the working of the Government, contain corruption, and
make our democracy work for the people in real sense. It goes without saying
that an informed citizen is better equipped to keep necessary vigil on the
instruments of governance and make the government more accountable to the
governed. The Act is a big step towards making the citizens informed about
the activities of the Government. |

Do you need RTI Expert Help?
However, filing an
RTI may not sound a difficult task but there certainly things that need to be
taken care of, if you want to file an RTI successfully, as there is a higher
chance of your RTI being rejected even if there is a single tiny error or
just an overlook of the suggested format. |
