If you are asking is it good or bad then it is 50 - 50, as it is good as well as bad because it depends upon the intention of an individual.

PROVIDING ONLY PARTIAL INFORMATION

The purpose for which RTI was formulated is not served well. The authorities supply only the simplistic and partial information, which won't harm their self interests, BUT NOT the information that can expose their bad deeds or activities of corruption and nepotism.

Even the Appellate Authorities try to protect the PIOs where they are likely to pay fine for delay in supply, partial or wrong information on their parts.

I have the proofs with me about exorbitant delay, wrong & partial information by the PIO, and intentional bid of the Appellate Authority to protect the PIO from penalty.

Whatever may the intention, the RTI Act definitely brings out the truth in front of general public through media to correct the loop hole in the system. It is a best tool for NGO's to achieve and highlight the problems faced by citizens.

There are so many loopholes in Right to Information act. So many applicants are harassed and threatened by those who are being exposed. It needs to have adequate safeguards to protect applicants. Also, if possible, all govt data needs to be in a national database and whole process can be streamlined to enable online right to information. It will also save costs.

Yes Muralidharan,

It seems so, as if RTI is going through the phase of "Silent Death."

Of late, incidents of murders of some NGO activists and whistle blowers makes it clear as if the authorities are unable to digest the humiliation of their being exposed for their corrupt practices and nepotism.

Hi Kasturirangan,

As stated by you, of course it is the biggest decision of the PM, BUT implementation wise, ultimately it is becoming a mere paper tiger, as the desired information is never available in full in spite of wastage of the Government time and money in retrieving that information. Rather some twisted information is provided in most of the cases.

If we expect any information from those who do not want to be transparent find various ways to annul the system. RTI is also going through the phase of "Silent Death"!

I understood the gist of what you said but is that what the ACT is ? Are you asking that is it good or bad or are you asking that are we following it or not. I am sorry for my ignorance but I felt like asking so that I can know more. Also Sir all that you have written in the opinion part is just the explanation then it wouldd be better if you write it as description so that everyone can understand what do you mean.

Thanks and regards
