Rti Success

Former President Pranab Mukherjee said on Sunday that public consultation is necessary for laws to become successful and drafting of legislations cannot be left only to elected representatives.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release success stories of Right to Information (RTI) Act, during a programme to be held in October, to mark over 10 years of implementation of the transparency law enacted by the UPA government.

A reply to an RTI query said, "The Aakash project at IIT Bombay was closed on March 31, 2015, after successfully completing all targets."

First a disclaimer: I am a very strong well-wisher of the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) who successfully petitioned the Chief Information Commissioner to bring political parties under the RTI.

Enthused by the success of "sakala" the citizen charter services, Karnataka government today said it has decided to add Right to Information (RTI) queries to the charter, taking the total services offered under the programme to 152 from eleven departments.

The Right to Information Act has changed many lives. One such success story is that of 69-year-old Jagdish Chandra Mishra, a retired government servant, who used the RTI to reclaim long-pending dues from the very place he devoted his life to.

Here's a story of Devendra Kumar, one who has successfully raised his voice against some unscrupulous LPG dealers.
