How do you think RTI would help in improving and monitoring the work of the governments.

Right to Information Act was passed in 2005 by the central government. It provides right to citizens to seek information from the government departments and thus make them more accountable to the people. Any malpractices in these departments can be challenged by the citizens through RTI. Earlier, there was no such privilege to the people to seek information about the policies and expenditures of the government. Thus, the act empowered citizens to question, review and examine the acts and decisions of the government. It made the system more accountable and transparent. And gave people the power to scrutinize public actions. It makes government more efficient and responsible.
