Dr. P. Chitra

Abstract :

 The Right to Information Act (2005) is an Act of the Parliament of India to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens. The enactment of Indian Constitution resulted in India becoming a viant democracy. The fundamental right was given the supreme priority by the framers of Indian constitution and the chief among them was Article 19 (1) (a). The right to freedom of speech and expression was incomplete without freedom of right to information. Unless the people have complete, factual, updated and primary information about the government machinery, it is not possible to think of having the country in the direction of an enriched democracy and good governance.

This study aims to understand how people understand their fundamental right and their interest to know about RTI
