The term "right to information" is frequently used interchangeably with "democracy." Citizens can use this tool to strengthen their sovereignty.

  • Except for Jammu and Kashmir, all Indian states and union territories are covered by the Right to Information Act of 2005.
  • This act gives Indian citizens the right to request information from any government agency or institution, including non-governmental organizations that are funded by the government.
  • The main purposes of the RTI Act are to provide clarity to Indian citizens about information, to combat corruption, and to enhance accountability in the workings of all government agencies.
  • Importance of RTI in a democracy:
  1. One of the most significant pieces of law available to the average individual is the Right to Information Act.
  2. It gives citizens the ability to question public leaders and their activities, promoting transparency while simultaneously requiring accountability.
  3. The Act is seen as a turning point in the fight against corruption.
