Right to Information Act

The Right to Information (RTI) Act is a law that empowers citizens to request information from government authorities to promote transparency and accountability. Under this act, anyone can ask for details about government work, policies, and decisions, which must be provided promptly unless kept confidential for specific reasons. It helps ensure that government actions are open to scrutiny, reducing corruption and promoting informed citizenship. The RTI Act applies to most government departments, public sector undertakings, and local bodies, enabling citizens to participate actively in governance and uphold democratic principles.
