Right to Information Committee
Democracy requires an informed citizenry and transparency of information which are vital to its
functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold governments and their instrumentalities
accountable to the governed. Right to information is an act of the parliament of India which sets
out the rules and procedures regarding citizens’ right to information. RTI was introduced to
empower citizens to question the government and its working. Any citizen could request for
information that does not threaten the internal security and integrity of India.
The basic objective of the Right to information act is to empower citizens, promote transparency
and accountability in the working of the government, contain corruption and make our
democracy work for the people in real sense. All citizens possess the right to information which
can be obtained within 30 days from the date of request in a normal case. If information is a
matter of life or liberty of a person, it can be obtained within 48 hours from time of request.
The college has a committee on RTI to empower students and aware them about it.
