Sarpanches made SPIO ,will it serve the pourpose
sir,
sarpanches in haryana have been made SPIO now onwards ,will this decision of the Govt is serve the purpose ,earlier the BDPO was the SPIO who is a Govt official and there was pressure on him regarding departnebtal comment and fine in case the recquired information is not given. Now ther is no pressure on Sarpanch and it is possible that information may not be supplied . The Govt should also make some rules that if a sarpanch does not give information he will not be able to fight election or such type of condition should be there, So that a fair dealing be there,

Re: Sarpanches made SPIO ,will it serve the pourpose
I do agree that government should re-consider the appontment of sarpanches as PIO. Most of the Sarpanches are either illiterate or just with primary education. I have found that even the chairmans of these gram panchayats are not well educated to deal with correspondence. How many Sarpanches you think have staff or facilities like computer or typewriter to answer these applications ?Sponsorer
A few days back when I met a Chairman of a gram panchayat he said "For me RTI means Right Hand thumb Impression. I dont know anything beyond that"
Also it is very difficult to contact them as they dont have any particular office. And how many of us can dare to visit the village to inspect the records of the Gram Panchayat unless you yourself belong to that village ?
I still prefer to file my application to BDO so that he transferred it to the sarpanch with necessary instructions. Also the most of the records of gram panchayats is stored at BDO office and Sarpanches visit to BDO office almost daily.

Re: Sarpanches made SPIO ,will it serve the pourpose
I doubt the sustainability of this order. Sarpach being an elected representative, I doubt whether he can be placed under a bureaucrat FAA and SIC. Naturally he cannot be awarded any penalty under Section 20 also. Similarly I doubt whether the public authority can change or add additional designation to an elected representative.

Re: Sarpanches made SPIO ,will it serve the pourpose
Sarpancha is not govt employee and it is surprising how Sarpancha can be nominated as PIO. In Guj village officer [Talati] is SPIO of grampanchayat. I have been prefering appln to Mamlatdar or BDO only. He then transfers or gets info from village officers. U can file a complaint with SIC against Sarpanch being nominated PIO by govt, he being not govt employee.
WE GET GOVT WE DESERVE. WHAT DO YOU PLAN FOR 2013?

Re: Sarpanches made SPIO ,will it serve the pourpose
Thank you col sahab for bringing in a very important and valid point. If a sarpanch can be PIO then why not the MLA ? While CIC at Delhi is still planning a full bench hearing if they should bring in the MPs into the ambit of RTI, the state govt of Haryana has already done it !!
I think I should prefer an application before CIC Haryrana on this matter.
Can the learned member please help me to frame questions on this subject ?
