RTI
Council has its RTI Cell at CCRH headquarters, looked after by Senior Research Officer, with the First Appellate Authority being the Head of the Organization, i.e. Director General, as per the RTI Act, 2005. This Act confers the right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. The objective is to empower the citizens, promote transparency and accountability in the working of the Government, contain corruption, and make our democracy work for the people in the real sense.
Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen of India may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State"), which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. Under the Act, every public authority has to computerize their records for wide dissemination and proactively publish certain categories of information so that citizens need minimum recourse to request information formally. During the reporting year (2024-25), one hundred sixty-seven [167] RTI applications and twenty-five [25] RTI appeals were received and disposed.
