    RTI against a reputed Deemed to be university ( Category A university): Is my content right for the RTI?

    by Apurva Singhai

    Hello, I'm submitting an online RTI to obtain information from the Deemed to be university that awarded me a two-year part-time MBA. In the year 2019, I passed out. When I apply for assistant professor positions, other institutions are skeptical about my degree and need official written proof from the deemed to be university that the degree is valid/recognized and equal to a three-year part-time MBA. My university claims to have degree-granting power since it is a deemed university, but they refuse to provide a formal document to prove it. As a result, I've chosen to submit an RTI. Please advise if the content is appropriate for the online RTI. Kindly provide…

    What do think on sending a Copy to PIO when filing 1st Appeal Or 2nd Appeal

    by afzalphatan

    Team, First of all Thanks for making such great efforts on this site to guide RTI applicants and knowledge seekers My question is. What your opinion on whether to mark a copy to PIO when I apply for 1st Appeal OR 2nd Appeal ?? I never sent a copy to PIO when ever I file for 1st Appeal or 2nd Appeal. What I recently felt that, sending a copy of PIO at each appeal could create a psychological pressure. ( Unless they become pathetic & irresponsible officials, as generally is the case in Revenue dept) Regards

    Is RTI an Eyewash? 1 2

    by lakshminarasimhan

    Hi, I had applied to get some information through RTI-2005. I m based in Chennai and I sought to seek information from Tashildar Office,Tambaram. Despite my first appeal and second appeal I had not received any information that I had seeked. I don't understand why RTI had not taken any action against the concerned public information officers for not providing me the information that I had sought. I had been informed RTI acts stringently and I will get the information that I seek if I apply it through RTI. But it look like only an EYEWASH. Anyone who doubt about my claim I can prove with all the documents that RTI had not taken proper action for my se…

    Let the experts and all other information seekers from the authorities discuss on the RTI ACT REJECTION CLAUSES. one by one sections so that the it will be easy to file the FIRST APPEAL and request the authorities the required information. Most of the PIO/CPIO simple reject the RTI by providing RTI RJECTIONS sections under RTI ACT This will not only make the common person who seeks information for the public grievance morale goes down.
