RTI ACTIVISM

---

RTI Activist is a person who uses Right to Information Act 2005. It helps us to get the information from a public department for example, Police Department, Electricity Board etc.

The Right to Information, or RTI Act 2005, is a fundamental right enshrined in article 19(1) of Part 3 of the Indian Constitution. In the Raj Narayan vs Uttar Pradesh State case, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to information is a fundamental right, and it is the citizen’s right to know about the workings of the government.

The Right to Information Act was passed on June 15, 2005, and implemented on October 12, 2005. It is a legal right. The credit for this act goes to Aruna Roy. The RTI Act 2005 replaces the Freedom of Information Act 2002. It also has a constitutional provision under article 19(1)a (which is the right to freedom of speech and expression) of the fundamental rights of the constitution. Sweden was the first country to implement the RTI Act.
