RTI or Right To Information is an act by which
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...
This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 12 October 2005. The first RTI application was filed at a police station in Pune by Shahid Raza Burney.
RTI acts as the watchdog of democracy. With the help of Right to Information any citizen of the country can seek information from any public authority and the authority is bound to reply within 30 days.
This right has gone great lengths in curbing corruption in the country since now questions can be raised and information sought from records, memos, press releases, contracts and several other sources related to public authorities. Since the Central and the state governments, bodies financed by the governments, NGOs Executive, Judiciary and legislature wings all come under its ambit, this act ensures that those elected to the government and appointed by the government work only in the interests of the people and not for their own personal interests
