Abstract
Right to Information is a basic human right of every human being. The renowned French philosopher Michel Foucault once opined, power is derived from knowledge and information is the basic component of knowledge. Information makes men wise and it is competent enough to cope up with the modern world. So, it is the duty of government to inform citizens about day to day happening whatever within the government. The transformation from governance to good governance is possible, if there is possibility of increasing participation of people in governance and free access of information. By realizing this fact, Indian parliament has passed Right to information act, 2005 to make government, accountable, responsible, efficient and transparent. Ironically the citizens earlier didn’t have any legal right to know about the public policies or the expenses which has changed over a period of time but if this change is not exercised properly the purpose of this Act won’t be served. Also, by way of proactive disclosures under section 4(1)(b) obtaining information even without asking for it can be made possible which will eventually fulfill both the purposes of the citizens of having updated information in public sector and also would decrease the work load of the Government in terms of receiving RTI applications. It thus becomes the job of the Government to ensure that RTI is not killed by the corrupt and the inefficient and the very spirit of it sustains.
