congratulations to developers of useful site! if you can link pay Commissions questionairre from nic at their portal site india.gov.in you would be rendering a great service to officers of all the services since this Commissions terms of reference atre much wider than others in past! also your site can send consolidated views of officers of various departments as designed to provide vlimited access to members of different services! Wish you and Kushal luck in this noble venture! Hari Gautam Obhrai

@ Hari Gautam Obhrai
I must thank You for giving us these great suggestions. Surely we will try them. However, I think pay commission issue is not relevant to RTI India Portal and we have already floated this idea with the core team at the Online community of Indian Officers portal, IndianOfficer.in: Online Community of Indian Bureaucrats - Home.

Let us make a searchable judgement of cic and searchable circulars as well.

Yes, Maneesh we would do that too some day. If you have an architecture of the codes, it would speed up things.


Did you use the Keyword and full text search over the ACT?
If you have any suggestions on improving the keywords search, let me know.

Thank you Kushal for making this great effort. I must say, it is really helpful. The search capability is awsome, and would benefit all in so many ways. I just couldn't see any thing left for improvement.

[brijeshbhatt]

Thaks Kushal, I sincerely believe that this new searchable database would be of immense help for everyone associated with RTI and educating people about RTI.

[maneesh]

I will send you the architecure in your email in 2 days. With such a vibrant community of people we will be able to roll out the same by the new year.

[kushal]

Thank You Brajesh.

Anybody would be interested in download able, fully search able RTI Act. I would need another weekend to bring out it's 1st beta.

I can make it in PDF fully indexed and searchable format and also in eBook format.

[jeevan]

Yes, the downloadable RTI act would be a good idea. However, I do not think PDF will any purpose.

Also I checked up the act and did not find any bugs so to say. Great work again

[anu]

In my view, only web based RTI will serve greater purpose. However the search feature of Right to Information Act 2005 is great. Good work Kushal

[maneesh]

Web is inexpensive and non instrusive way of spreading awareness.
Search feature will save lot of time and help to focus on the relevent thing fast.

[brijeshbhatt]

Hello Kaushal,
I think one should learn from your Conviction towards RTI. It is definitely going to be great success.
Thanks once again.

[kushal]

After the 1st phase of correction, I have removed the password protection. Now anybody can access the Right to Information Act.

[maneesh]

Thats great, This will increase the spread of RTI.

[kushal]

The present URL has changed to little more friendly:

http://www.rtiindia.info
and the Act can be accessed via:

http://act.rtiindia.info

[brijeshbhatt]

Thanks, Its very convenient to use and search.

[kushal]

I will be uploading the downloadable search able act to our download segment in beta version. If you all think it's worth, I will refine and release it finally.

Sir,
the following instance may be useful,
I sent an ordinary enquiry to deputy registrar of co operative societies did not get reply.I submitted same enquiry for information on R.T.I. format with Rs.10/-court stamp applied on it as a fee.After mandated period of 30days I found that the application of information was ignored. Thereafter, as per the R.T.I.act-2005, an appeal also submitted on format with Rs.20/- court stamp applied on it as fee.Now, 20days have passed but, it is disheartening to mention that I have not received any reply. It seems, this enquiry will also be ignored. If so, what is the further proceedured?

[kushal]
