Abstract

The Right to Information Act is not a general law it is a unique set of rules having an uncommon nature in respect to rest of the laws or acts. Right to information has been made with an objective of proper transparency that provides a proper understanding of a topic in which an individual is interested. The basic objective of the right to information is to curb the issues that come during the regime of a government or any authorized body. We often express our views on the work done by the government or the actions taken by them. in old times people or citizens may only discuss at a guessing that was based on an individual’s sense of understanding or opinions, but the situation changed after the enforcement of right to information act, now you can discuss the issues as you have right to know and be aware of the action and the concept at which the proclamation is based. Proper transparency to the beneficiaries (public) from the acts of the ruling body is a need of the hour. As the corruption is at its peak, proper eradication of such big issue is important and right to information is one of the most influential and an important one. It has been made with an objective of transparency and eradication of corruption and more related topics, but this theme also comes with a sign of question marks whether it really goes as its objective are? Right to information is a fundamental right, that makes it different from other sets of acts, it is been guaranteed as per article 19 and 21 of the constitution of India. It is the part of the fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression recognized by the constitution of India and various Supreme Court decisions. It plays a major role in the attainment of economic, social and political rights of an individual as well as the community at large. Covering all the areas and sections of the countries it has been an effective tool in the recent years. Right to information is effective at each and every part of India. However, it can be said without any hesitation that India has finally woken up to realize that right to information is a key component in the attainment of all the required goals of the nation.
