RTI Act

[nksarin]

Hi Dr. Kushal,
Thanks for your greetings.
I find the RTI Act a very interesting piece of legislation which can be a very potent tool in fighting corruption and making our country a democracy in the true sense of the term. But people at large and even lawyers, are still not well conversant with the provisions of the Act. Some procedures are beyond my comprehension and there are lot of ambiguities. I hope to get more knowledge from you.

Hi Sarin,

Welcome to the RTI India portal.

You are absolutely correct. Right To Information is a great concept. You have come to the right place.

RTI is the most radical and powerful act introduced in our country since independence.

It has a great future and a tremendous potential to remove / reduce corruption from our country.

Please spend some time with the home page of this forum, it has tons of information on RTI Act, tips and tricks of how to tactfully draft RTI applications, you can then use RTI successfully to change the way we are governed.

RTI was introduced in Sweden in 1766, USA 1966 and India 2005.

You will be thrilled to know that inspired by the success of RTI, our neighbouring country Bangladesh has recently introduced RTI in 2008 to check corruption in their country.

Please be active on the forum and make your contribution towards removing corruption from our country.
