The Right to Information Act, 2005 is a law enacted by the Government of India that grants citizens the legal right to access information held by public authorities. Its main purpose is to ensure transparency and accountability in the functioning of government bodies at all levels—central, state, and local. Under this Act, any citizen can request information from a public authority, and the authority is legally obligated to provide a response within 30 days.
Objectives of the RTI Act
The primary objectives of the RTI Act include promoting transparency in government operations and holding public officials accountable for their decisions and actions. It empowers citizens by giving them the right to question the government and seek explanations, thereby strengthening the democratic process. The Act is also a tool to fight corruption, as it helps uncover misuse of power and public resources. By allowing public scrutiny, it encourages better decision-making and promotes good governance throughout the administrative system.
