How RTI can help us........

[Akhila Kovvuri 0]

True that RTI has helped in getting information about passport status etc.

But it shouldn't be limited to that.

RTI can help not only an individual, but the entire society.

For eg: The Adarsh scam was exposed due to RTI

We have to make use of this act to find out the effectiveness of various governmental organisations such as government schools, hospitals etc.If the funtioning is found to be faulty, it should be made public through media for press is probably the most effective change-bringer.

Though we are a democracy, what is quite sad is that once the elections are over, politicians don't bother to pay attention to our views.The decision our representive takes might not be what the majority of the people in her/his constituency wants.But do we, as citizens, fight against this, Most probably not because most of us dont have the time to and even don't know how to.

So, to keep a watch on these politicos and their ever-growing appetite for our money,RTI is the right vehicle.

Just the fact that we have such a right won't make any change.We, as proud citizens of this country, have to put it to use.
