In the context of governance, transparency refers to availability of information to the general public and clarity about functioning of government institutions. Right to Information opens up government's records to public scrutiny, thereby arming the citizens with a vital tool to inform themselves about what government does and how effectively, thus making the latter more accountable. Hailed as an essential requirement of good governance, the right to information has brought added responsibility for the governments and their agencies that have been assigned the task of implementing the RTI Act 2005. This article takes an overview of the sequence of events that added up to final enactment of the welcome legislation. It zeroes upon the areas which need greater attention and focuses on the operational problem in its implementation. - Reproduced. |
