Use RTI Act To Remove Corruption.

 

(Input from Parivartan, an organisation fighting corruption in Delhi)

Some people feel that if we had good politicians and bureaucrats, India would be a better place to live in.

The real change would come when people start demanding accountability and the government is forced to respond. Then, it would not be easy for the governments to go astray.

Right to Information is the first concrete step in that direction. People are already holding governments accountable by seeking details of funds spent in their areas.

  • Municipal Corporation improved quality of roads when people demanded copies of contracts in some areas.
  • Street lights, which were not functioning for years, lit up with the use of right to information.
  • People started getting rations after years when records of ration shops were sought.

How is the common man making a difference?
