Information has always been power and the Right to Information Act is a revolutionary step in ensuring citizen participation in governance and increasing transparency around information that has, for a long time, been inaccessible to people; relegated only to the hallowed halls of government buildings. However, many citizens are just unaware of the amount of power they are capable of wielding, if only they could figure out how to send an RTI request! In the fourth episode of Law and You, Devaki asks Saurabh all about RTI’s; how to file one, what kind of information is allowed to be accessed, and what you can do with such information. Can your RTI request be rejected and if so, on what grounds and where do you appeal such rejection? Tune into this conversation at to understand all about RTI’s and what you should do to be a responsible citizen.
