The Right to Information Act, 2005 aims to promote transparency and accountability in the working of public authorities.<\/section>\n
The objectives of the RTI Act include promoting transparency and accountability, reducing corruption, promoting good governance, empowering citizens, and enhancing their participation in governance. However, the Act explicitly provides for exemptions from disclosure of certain information under Sections 8 and 9, including information that could prejudicially affect the sovereignty and integrity of India, security, strategic, scientific or economic interests, relations with foreign State, or lead to the incitement of an offence, or relates to trade secrets, or would cause an unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual, among others. Therefore, providing unlimited access to classified information is not an objective; rather, controlled access while protecting certain sensitive information is the intent.<\/section>\n
The preamble to the RTI Act states its purpose as enabling citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. It acknowledges that informed citizenry is vital to the functioning of a democracy but also recognizes that the revelation of information may conflict with other public interests including the preservation of confidentiality of sensitive information.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
