Right to Information act (RTI)
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.
It is An Act to provide for
setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to
secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in
order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every
public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and
State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or
incidental thereto.
Whereas the Constitution of
India has established democratic Republic;
And whereas democracy requires
an informed citizenry and transparency of information which are vital to
its functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and
their instrumentalities accountable to the governed;
And whereas revelation of
information in actual practice is likely to conflict with other public
interests including efficient operations of the Governments, optimum use of
limited fiscal resources and the preservation of confidentiality of
sensitive information; And whereas it is necessary to harmonize these
conflicting interests while preserving the paramountcy
of the democratic ideal;
Now, therefore, it is expedient to provide for furnishing
certain information to citizens who desire to have it.
