The Right to Information Act was enacted by Parliament in 2005. It is an effective weapon in the hand of public. We can call this act as base for other all acts. By hearing name of this RTI every Government organization will starts to shivering that may be Central, State government officers and who getting fund from government partially or completely it means every Indian citizen can get information from these offices 13 states are enforced this act in the year 2005(Kerala, Gujarat, Chattisgarh,Haryana,Punjab,Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Orissa and including Karanataka)

From 3 days class I come to know the following matters relating to RTI.
· Universal access to information
· Right to information includes inspection of records, works and taking certified samples of material.
· “Information” includes that records, e-mails, samples and models.
· It covers all the public authorities, NGOs, private bodies which is getting fund by government
· PIO should provide information.
· No prescribed form for information.
· Reasonable fees (only for photocopies).
· P.I.O. has the duty to assists requesters.
· No need to give reasons for requesting information.
· If Information concerns the life and liberty to be provided within 48 hours
· Information to be providing within 30 days of receipt of request.
