The long title of the Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI Act) states that it is an Act to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of the Government.
The RTI Act seeks to promote the following qualities in the working of every public authority:
- Transparency: The RTI Act requires public authorities to proactively disclose information, and to respond to requests for information in a timely and efficient manner. This helps to ensure that the public is aware of the activities of the government, and can hold it accountable.
- Efficiency: The RTI Act can help to improve the efficiency of public administration by making it easier for citizens to access information and services. This can lead to a reduction in corruption and red tape.
- Punctuality: The RTI Act requires public authorities to respond to requests for information within a specified time limit. This helps to ensure that the public is able to obtain information in a timely manner.
In addition to these three qualities, the RTI Act also seeks to promote other values such as accountability, responsiveness, and fairness.
