What Is RTI?
RTI (Right to Information) is an act passed by
the Indian government that allows citizens to
request information from public authorities,
enabling them to obtain data and documents that
are otherwise not readily available. This law was
enacted to promote transparency in the
functioning of government bodies and provide the
public with the power to hold authorities
accountable. The Directorate of Public Grievances
plays a crucial role in ensuring that grievances
related to public authorities are addressed
efficiently, and RTI is a key part of this
process.

How RTI work?
Under the RTI Act, any Indian citizen can apply
with a public authority seeking information
related to its functioning. The information
requested could pertain to any aspect of the
governments operations, including policies,
records, reports, decisions, and more. Here's a
basic breakdown of how it works

How RTI work?
A citizen can write a simple application to the
concerned public authority, specifying the
information they need.
If the information is not provided, they can
file an appeal with the First Appellate Authority.

Addressing Grievances Through RTI
One of the most effective uses of RTI Matters is
to address the grievances of public authorities.
Suppose a citizen faces issues with a public
department or service, such as delays in
processing documents, non-implementation of
government schemes, or corruption. In that case,
an RTI request can be filed to demand
accountability. The Directorate of Public
Grievances helps facilitate the resolution of
such issues by liaising between citizens and the
concerned government departments.

Common Issues That Can Be Addressed Using RTI

• Delays In Service Delivery If you are waiting
  for government services or approvals and they are
  being delayed without a valid reason.
• Corruption And Malpractice If you suspect
  corruption or malpractice within a public
  authority or government department, filing an RTI
  can help you obtain evidence or reports that
  confirm your suspicions.

How The Directorate Of Public Grievances Helps
The Directorate of Public Grievances (DPG) is a
government body responsible for addressing
grievances related to public authorities. When
citizens have complaints or issues with
government services, the DPG mediates between the
public and the concerned departments. The DPG
helps expedite the resolution of complaints and
ensures that government bodies are held
accountable.
