Question

Summary of right to information act, 2005

Answer 1

Right to Information (RTI) is an Act of the Parliament of India to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens and replaces the erstwhile Freedom of information Act, 2002. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen of India may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerise their records for wide dissemination and to proactively certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally.

Answer 2

right to information act in 2005

The government of India enacted the freedom of information act in 2002.

Initially it was not very successful. Later the UPA government enacted the right to information act in 2005, which addressed the previous loopholes. continuous demands by the educated and aware citizens of India forced the government to enact the right to information act (RTI) in 2005.

It gives the citizen the right to seek information from the government. Through this right, citizens can also ask questions from the government.
