It is difficult to achieve social justice, political freedom and economic equality in a nation, unless the economically and socially exploited sections of the society are not able to reap the benefits of the planned economic development of its own Country. Lack of participation of ignorant and illiterate mass in the Government affairs and decision making process created a vacuum for corrupt administration that continuously kept the “People” in dark. This darkness can turn into light only with the availability of freedom of information. To increase public participation, reduce corruption, red-tapism, aloofness from public work and arbitrary secrecy in the government, pressure from every angle has made bound the legislators to come up with a complete affirmative law, so that a vibrant transparent government can be achieved.

Right to Information, development, Transparent and Accountable Government.
