In:
Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: In the present dispensation the development and prosperity of any area are to be decided by the State. The state is the owner of development. The new expectation is that the state has to withdraw from various areas and yield space to the people; people will participate in the process of governance and development. But instead the state has expanded to all levels and domains and ultimately the weight of the state machinery has become unbearable for the people. The new thrust on development with openness has nursed fresh hopes. People are oriented as beneficiaries and petititioners. They are oriented to submit petitions submissively and pray for intervention. Never is it informed to the citizens that they have the right to claim their entitlement. It is against such a scenario that the Right to information Act has come as a ray of hope for the multitudes. - Reproduced.
