This website is purely and purely built as a informational convenient gateway for the Indian Government Websites.

Today the Indian Government Websites information which is available on the internet is too much cluttered because of the volume that it’s almost impossible to find the right information with in a very short time.

Hence, being working in Digital Marketing for a couple of Years, I prefer to build a Google Like gateway for Indian Government Websites, where I will be able to find the right amount of information required without wasting hours in internet.

  • RTI Happenings: Tamil Nadu: No questions under RTI: OfficerReported by Timesofindia.indiatimes.com on May 24, 2013 No questions under RTI: Officer – The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/No-questions-under-RTI-Officer/articleshow/20237947.cms) No questions. That's the stand of a state government department on the Right to Information Act. The department has said that it will not furnish information under the RTI Act (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/RTI-Act) if the application contains questions. "Under the RTI Act, 2005, your queries submitted to the public information officer cannot be in question form… Under Section 2(f), which defines 'information' , questions have not been defined as information. Hence we cannot furnish the information you had sought." This was the written response of the public information officer (PIO) of the legal metrology department to four RTI applications filed by TOI. The legal metrology department, part of the labour department, acts on complaints regarding weights and measures and maximum retail price. Consumers often complain of overcharging and under-measurement by traders as well as a lack of response to complaints. TOI filed RTI applications seeking information on the number of inspections conducted by the department and the number of shopkeepers penalized for offences in the last five years. The PIO rejected the application saying questions were not allowed. RTI activists said the response was a classic example of PIOs denying information without valid reasons. "If we cannot ask questions, why do we need to file an application under the RTI Act? The state information commission should impose a fine or take action against such PIOs," said RTI activist M Thuyamurthy. Former bureaucrat M G Devasahayam said the RTI Act had failed in the state. "There is no format for seeking information under the RTI Act. PIOs invent excuses to deny information. They should be show more sincerity towards implementing the legislation. The SIC should take stringent action against such officials," he said. State labour commissioner Dr B Chandramohan said he was unaware of information being denied to RTI applicants. "I will check with the officials concerned," he said. According to Section 2(f) of the RTI Act, information means any material in any form, including records, documents, memos, e-mails , press releases, circulars, contracts, samples, models, data held in any electronic form and information relating to any private body which can be accessed by a public authority under any other law in force. HOW TO FILE AN RTI APPLICATION (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/RTI-APPLICATION) An RTI application can be made on a sheet of plain paper and can have any number of questions It should be addressed to the public information officer of the department or organisation concerned 10 should be paid as application fee by cash or through postal order, court fee stamp or demand draft Questions should be direct and leave no room for the information officer to give vague replies Information officer has to reply within 30 days of receipt of the application, failing which he is liable to a fine of 250 per day Appeal can be filed with the head of the department in which the application was filed, if the information officer fails to reply within the deadline Second appeal can be filed before the central or state information commission if applicant is not satisfied with the replies.

  • RTI Court Decision: Info Commission directs Railways to share service record of a TCReported by Moneylife.in on 23/05/2013 Info Commission directs Railways to share service record of a TC – Moneylife (http://www.moneylife.in/article/info-commission-directs-railways-to-share-service-record-of-a-tc/32845.html) *The CIC has directed the PIO of Western Railway to provide copy of service book of one of its ticket checkers after deleting his personal information* In a significant and landmark judgement, the Central Information Commission has directed the Public Information Officer (PIO) of Western Railway to provide copy of the service record of a ticket checker (TC). While disposing of an appeal, Annapurna Dixit, the Information Commissioner (IC), said, “…the public authority is obligated under section 4(1)(b) the Right to Information (RTI) Act to disclose information related to the service of its employees. The Commission is not convinced by Allan D'Costa’s (the TC) argument that such disclosure will endanger his physical safety as all this information is anyway expected to be placed in the public domain.” Mumbai-based RTI activist Chetan Kothari had filed an RTI seeking information against six points with regard to information on action taken on his complaint against TCs Allan D'Costa and SR Shukla, including copy of the service book and confidential report of Allan D'Costa. While the PIO furnished the information on all six queries asked by Kothari, he denied copy of service book of D'Costa. Even, the First Appellate Authority (FAA) ordered the same. Kothari then filed his second appeal before the Commission. During the hearing, the PIO submitted that when he sought submission under Section 11(1) of the RTI Act, D'Costa objected to the sharing of his service book stating that the disclosure of his service details would endanger his physical safety and that of his family members. Ms Dixit, the IC, however was not convinced by this argument. She then directed the PIO to supply a copy of the service record of Allan D'Costa to Kothari within four weeks after invoking Section 10(1) of the RTI Act to sever all those portions that are exempt from disclosure u/s 8(1)(j) of the Act as personal information.

  • RTI Improvement: Maharashtra: BMC cell to hasten RTI processReported by Hindustantimes.com on May 24, 2013 BMC cell to hasten RTI process – Hindustan Times (http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/BMC-cell-to-hasten-RTI-process/Article1-1065150.aspx) In a bid to speed up the entire information-providing procedure involved in the Right To Information (RTI) act, the BMC has set up a Technical Advisory Committee that includes administrative staff and experienced RTI activists. The nine-member recommendatory committee met for the first time on Thursday and will meet once a month. After closely studying the nature of RTI applications received by the corporation over the past year, the committee has found that the maximum number of applications was received by the Building Proposals Department and Buildings and Factories Department. “Almost 15% of the total number of RTI applications received across Maharashtra state came to the BMC last year. Over the past few years alone, there has been a perceptible rise in the number RTI applications,” said Shailesh Gandhi, former chief information commissioner and TAC chairman. “Thus, the committee will try and understand the nature of information that citizens seek, and if necessary, make it available on a suo moto basis.” The committee will also help the BMC to put up important information on the website. RTI activist Bhaskar Prabhu from Mahiti Adhikar Manch said, “There are times when the concerned civic staff does not provide responses to applications in the right manner. Thus, the TAC will also be training these officials to provide accurate information to the citizens.” Prabhu insisted that this training would be undertaken through interactive sessions, meetings and workshops with the civic staff.
  • RTI Court Decision: Now, JK’s private schools under RTI ringReported by Umer Maqbool in Greaterkashmir.com on May 23, 2013 Now JK s private schools under RTI ring Lastupdate:- Fri, 24 May 2013 18:30:00 GMT GreaterKashmir.com (http://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/2013/May/24/now-jk-s-private-schools-under-rti-ring-52.asp) Srinagar, May 23: In a significant ruling which would ensure transparency in admissions and collection of fee by private schools in Jammu and Kashmir, the State Information Commission has said that information can be accessed from the institutes, directly and indirectly, under the Right to Information Act- 2009. Passing off the judgment, two-member division bench of the Commission headed by Chief Information Commissioner GR Sufi ruled that schools enjoying exemption of income tax which is more than 33% of their total income are public authorities under the Act “because then they are substantially financed and funded by the government.” “Giving exemption of income tax which is more than 33% of the total income is a substantial funding by the Government. Hence, if school falls under the definition of substantially financed by the Government and thus a public authority and school should, therefore, follow the mandate given in the State RTI Act, 2009 and report compliance to the Commission with the various provisions of the State RTI Act, 2009 and within 30 days from the receipt of this order,” the Commission held. The Commission also held that school is a body controlled by the government and information can be sought from them from the body regulating them, in case they pay income tax. “If we presume school is not a public authority, yet it is under a statutory obligation to furnish the information desired by the Directorate of School Education, pertaining to its functioning and activities from time to time,” the ruling reads. According to the ruling, the Commission also held that Section 2(f)(iv) of the Act “recognizes that the non-state actors shall also have statutory obligation to disclose the information which would be useful and necessary for the people they serve.” Today’s judgment comes as another major boost for ensuring transparency in private schools of the State. Pertinently, the State Government had already set up a committee headed by Justice (retd) Bilal Nazki to regulate fee in private schools. The Commission today also said “the issues relating to management and regulation of schools responsible for promotion of education are so important for the development of the nation that it cannot be left at the whims, fancies, idiosyncrasies and caprices of private institutions whether funded or not by the Government.” “Today, the State of Jammu and Kashmir is facing a difficult task of ensuring social justice and equality to all the sections of society,” it reads.

He already constructed packing at ground floor which is good but it should at wider road where cars can easily be parked by passing through narrow road and/or Gali. Also there is dust, muddy, water lodging everywhere near the plot as well as our houses due to which a normal person cant breath there. We also went to local police and MCD office but they had given so many excuses which clearly shows that they may have taken some undue advantages from builder that is why we were regretted. Sir please advice us where we go to get peaceful life. We already marked a complaint to you but no action was taken till date. Its our humble request to you people please so needful and stop this construction work immediately to save the life of surrounding residents. Regards Simple Mann
