Use of RTI Act limited in State
More than two years after the Right to Information Act came into force, Assam continues to witness a markedly limited use of its provisions, which could be linked to its poor promotion by the State Government. In a large number of government offices and institutions receiving Government funds, there are no functionaries who have been properly trained to handle RTI applications. Other offices are handicapped by lack of supporting infrastructure. This has created a discouraging situation for the applicant, and a restraint in the flow of authentic and updated information.
