This is an important and significant 22ndact enacted in 2005.the Right to Information Act-2005 was enacted on 12th October. It contains 28 pages and 22 articles. Except for people in the states of Jammu and Kashmir, everybody can access information according to this act in India. This is only one way to get information easily by applying RTI.Anybody can access information under the control of public authorities in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of public authorizes.
In this act we see some important articles like Suo-Muto 4(1) (b), which permits us to get firsthand/basic information, including 17 points under the law regarding each public agency. Section 6(1) is great weapon for retrieving specific information from the public authority by filing RTI through records, documents, memos, e-mail, opinions, advice, press realeases, circulars, reports and electronic formats. Important concepts like “information”, “public authority” and Records. We can compliant under section 18th (1).
When writing an application to Suo-motu, specific information and plays vital role in the RTI.Our application should be very specific and clear about the applicant. The constitution of a central information commission and state information commission now expedient to provide for certain information to citizens who desire it. Case studies help us to understand easily rather than reading theory. By filing RTI to public authority we come to know the reality of RTI.The successful stories increase our confidence in the future.
Lastly, the three day module on RTI enriched my knowledge. It was a nice experience to do a case study, recap and read successful stories with great file concerning background of RTI.The least I can say is that the street play in the public is showed me it is challenging to convince people and sensitize them regarding Right to Information. Being a social entrepreneur, this is the first filing in my career, so it is good to understand this act. Click here
