how was right to information useful to consumers?
Answers
Hey buddy.... here's your answer....
Under the provisions of RTI Act, any citizen of India may request to seek out information from a "public authority" which is then required to reply within thirty days in response to RTI filed.
The Act also directs every public authority to take steps so as to provide enough information of its own to the public at regular intervals through various means of communications, including internet, so that the public have minimum resort to the use of this Act for obtaining information.
It also makes public agencies accountable and transparent.
I hope this was helpful

The right of information is useful to consumers because it reflects a true democracy. Citizens need to understand what their government is purporting to do. Knowing what the government is planning helps the citizens to decide if the steps the government is taking are beneficial to their well-being. If the citizens lack information regarding their government, then there will be no democracy, and they will not understand the actions of the government.
