The Right to Information Act is a powerful tool that strengthens democracy and enhances people’s participation. In any democratic system, accountability is one of its main pillars. The act, thus, empower citizens to seek information from government departments and hold them accountable.

Public information officers and appellate authorities are entrusted with the responsibility of implementing the RTI act. They are supervised and kept under check by the state and central information office, in case they failed to implement their duties. Thus, there is a complete procedure to make the system more transparent, responsive and accountable.

Democracy requires informed citizenry and transparency of information. The citizen of India can ask for any information from any department. Thus, the act makes access to information easily approachable by the common people. This strengthens people and helps to contain corruption and hold government accountable to individual citizens also.

Armed forces and security agencies are outside the purview of information offices. Thus, any information that could harm the sovereignty and integrity of Indian are kept outside this act.

Thus, the law permits openness and at the same time withold itself from giving out certain information. In this way, it resembles the true spirit of democracy
