How is the RTI act different from other laws which mostly remain unimplemented?
The RTI act is different from other legislations. It has come from people’s initiatives and a decade-long struggle for access to information. This is one law in which the citizens are not only the beneficiaries but also the stakeholders. It marks the beginning of the second stage of Democracy in the country when the people are becoming aware of their rights. It symbolizes a cultural revolution.
