About the RTI Act

Educational institutions, particularly those funded or recognized by the government (e.g., schools, colleges, and universities), fall under Section 4(1)(b) and Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, and they must provide information unless exempt under Section 8.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) mandates all universities and colleges (funded by it) to comply with RTI provisions. They must have a designated Public Information Officer (PIO) to handle RTI queries.

The Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, empowers citizens to request information from public authorities, promoting transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority. Under this act, citizens have the right to request access to information about the functioning and decisions of the institution.
