Abstract

The Right to Information Act 2005 is a weapon given to every citizen of India for bringing transparency in the system with the involvement in every political decision which is made for the welfare of the people. Access to information not only promotes openness, transparency and accountability in administration, but it facilitates active participation of people in democratic governance process. For this, every individual and specially educated people should know about the proper use of RTI Act. This study aimed to examine the awareness among educated people about Right to Information Act 2005 and its proper use. The results revealed that the awareness level of educated people regarding RTI Act is very poor and government needs to do a lot for increasing the awareness.
