The Right to Information Act is a law enacted by the Parliament of India, giving citizens the right to request information from public authorities. It aims to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority.
Paperless governance, or e-governance, refers to the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to deliver government services, exchange information, communicate transactions, and integrate various stand-alone systems and services. It aims to reduce paperwork, improve efficiency, and enhance transparency.
Exams often test the Right to Information Act, its provisions, and government initiatives to implement it, especially e-governance aspects.
Remember 'Gujarat' and 'RTI' go together for 'Online Transparency'. Gujarat is making RTI 'Go Online' for 'Greater Transparency'.
