TRAINING ON PROCEDURES AND PROCEEDINGS IN RTI RELATED OFFICE AFFAIRS
The right to Information Act 2005 mandates timely response to citizen requests for government information. The basic object of the Right to Information Act is to empower the citizens, promote transparency and accountability in the working of the Government, contain corruption, and make our democracy work for the people in a real sense. It goes without saying that an informed citizen is better equipped to keep necessary vigil on the instruments of governance and make the government more accountable to the governed. Institutions under the health department also receive many applications under the scope of RTI act. This course helps officers in the department to make a clearer idea on the procedures and proceedings related to RTI-related office affairs.
