The Right To Information Act has proved to be an extremely potent tool in the hands of responsible citizens in their quest for clean and efficient administration. We are pleased to announce an interactive workshop with the leading RTI activist and IITB alumnus, Shailesh Gandhi. The State Information Commissioner for Pune region Mr. Vijay Kuvalekar has also agreed to participate in this event.
While there have been many RTI success stories, very few of them involve the urban elite. The RTI procedures are extremely simple and inexpensive. Citizens can even demand to inspect public works- with resources supplied by the Government. The onus of furnishing the information in reasonable time is on the Government. This workshop is an unique opportunity to understand how we can invoke RTI to make a difference in our civic life.
