Introduction

The implementation of the Right to Information Act–2005 has brought better control over government and semi-government institutions.
This Act helps the general public to understand how government work is carried out, how various welfare schemes are implemented, and the different levels/stages/processes involved. As government functioning becomes more transparent, public suspicion decreases. Moreover, irregularities and corruption are automatically reduced.

This Right Includes the Following:

• Inspection of work, documents, and records.
• Obtaining certified copies of documents or records and taking notes.
• Obtaining certified copies of materials.
• Receiving information through printed copies (printouts), CDs, floppy disks, tapes, video recordings, or any other electronic medium.
