An effort is being constantly made to make this website an easy-to-understand source of all knowledge that a prospective or an existing RTI user may need most of the time. We shift through a lot of chaff in order to present you the wholesome grain.

RTI is a tool of strategy. Its power lies in the innovative ways you can put this law to use. This website, therefore, introduces purpose-focussed "strategy in a box" documents from time to time which help you hit your target like a guided missile. Such documents go far beyond the templates, specimen forms and sample applications which are part of this website.

We invite advocates, activists and enthusiasts of RTI, and even govt. officers to work with us in enriching the content. We seek contribtion in a manner that the benefit of RTI and transparency reaches the maximum people with the least amount of effort in the widest possible area.

In your quest for freedom from official tyranny and greater accountability of public servants, we also implore you to visit other websites and online resources. These forums are the beehive of lively discussion on a range of issues, and one can easily keep himself abreast of developments in the RTI world by subscribing to them. Members of these forums are also generally eager to offer advice and guidance on your queries.

    Urban public transport across the developing world is in the midst of a crisis. Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Sao Paolo, Jakarta and Nairobi have grown dramatically in the past few decades thanks to migration from rural areas and natural population increase. Every new resident requires a place to live, employment and a means of getting from one to the other - be it from a jhuggie cluster to the centre or from a posh colony to an office complex.

  • What would happen if the cap was lifted?

    09 Sep'11     3    Simon Harding

    The situation is familiar to most Delhites: it’s rush hour and you’re looking for an auto. But they all speed past with their passengers. "This city needs more autos", you mutter to yourself, "surely there’s a demand for them".
