  3. What Is RTI? RTI (Right to Information) is an act passed by the Indian government that allows citizens to request information from public authorities, enabling them to obtain data and documents that are otherwise not readily available. This law was enacted to promote transparency in the functioning of government bodies and provide the public with the power to hold authorities accountable. The Directorate of Public Grievances plays a crucial role in ensuring that grievances related to public authorities are addressed efficiently, and RTI is a key part of this process.

  4. How RTI work? Under the RTI Act, any Indian citizen can apply with a public authority seeking information related to its functioning. The information requested could pertain to any aspect of the government’s operations, including policies, records, reports, decisions, and more. Here's a basic breakdown of how it works:

  5. Under the RTI Act, the public authority is required to respond within 30 days. How RTI work? A citizen can write a simple application to the concerned public authority, specifying the information they need. If the information is not provided, they can file an appeal with the First Appellate Authority.

  6. Addressing Grievances Through RTI One of the most effective uses of RTI Matters is to address the grievances of public authorities. Suppose a citizen faces issues with a public department or service, such as delays in processing documents, non-implementation of government schemes, or corruption. In that case, an RTI request can be filed to demand accountability. The Directorate of Public Grievances helps facilitate the resolution of such issues by liaising between citizens and the concerned government departments.

  7. Common Issues That Can Be Addressed Using RTI • Delays In Service Delivery: If you are waiting for government services or approvals and they are being delayed without a valid reason. • Corruption And Malpractice: If you suspect corruption or malpractice within a public authority or government department, filing an RTI can help you obtain evidence or reports that confirm your suspicions.

  8. How The Directorate Of Public Grievances Helps The Directorate of Public Grievances (DPG) is a government body responsible for addressing grievances related to public authorities. When citizens have complaints or issues with government services, the DPG mediates between the public and the concerned departments. The DPG helps expedite the resolution of complaints and ensures that government bodies are held accountable.
