Right to Information (RTI)

The Right to Information (RTI) is a legal right allowing citizens to access information held by government bodies. It promotes transparency, accountability, and openness in governance by enabling people to request documents, records, or data related to public administration. Through RTI, individuals can seek answers about government decisions, policies, or expenditure, fostering informed participation in democracy. Governments are required by law to promptly provide the requested information, unless it falls under restricted categories like national security or privacy. RTI empowers citizens to hold officials accountable and ensures transparent governance practices.
