launch of rti website

An environmental activist - Mr Rishi Aggarwal, has invited us all for the launch of the website www.rtidirectory.in.

For long a need has been felt for a platform where citizens who have made applications under Right to Information Act could share the information coming out of their responses. The website has a simple interface for uploading your RTI Applications and it's responses. There are still some changes which need to be carried out on the website.

By using this website we all could get to know how others have filed their RTI applications on governance issues and the responses received from the authorities. This way we would learn many things not only on how to file better RTI Applications but also how to improve upon the same by observing the responses received by others on the same issues that we are very much concerned about.

He cordially invites us all to the launch of the website. Mr. Shailesh Gandhi has graciously agreed to launch the website and hope to see many of you.

Venue: Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Opp. C.S.T.Station,
