ABOUT THE BOOK:
Freedom of Information, a phrase coined in the United States, is a very different notion from the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, or freedom of expression. It empowers the common man to obtain information in possession of the State. The Right to Information Act, of 2005 is a very powerful tool given in the hands of Indian citizens. It provides them a chance to transform the way the government and its official function. Asking the government for information, one asks for the government to be transparent and accountable to its citizens.
The present volume is a comprehensive book on the Right to Information. The people’s struggle compelled the Indian Parliament to finally enact the Right to Information Act, 2005 which ultimately came into effect from 12th October 2005 in all the State of India except the State of Jammu & Kashmir, where it is made effective from 31st October 2019.
