Sir,
Sub: Application for the position of State Information Commissioner- reg.
Consequent to the enactment of RTI Act 2005, the State Information Commission was constituted. But the appointment of Chief and other Information Commissioners has created controversies for the reason that the provisions u/s 15 was not fully complied with. Especially the sub-section (5) of sec. 15 was totally neglected in the above appointments.
15(5): The State Chief Information Commissioner and the State Information Commissioners
Shall be persons of eminence in public life with wide knowledge and experience in law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media or administration and governance.
Non-consideration of the above section of the Act has resulted in ineffective
functioning of the Commission in all respects. For the failure of the Public Information Officers
in disseminating the information, the penalty clause u/s. 20 was not properly resorted to. This has emboldened almost all the PIOs of Public Authorities taking the short cut to deny the
crucial information. Such attitudes have totally defeated the letter and spirit of the RTI Act, besides paving way for undermining the effectiveness of the very Act.
The very basis of the Act is to ensure transparency and accountability in the functioning of the Public Authorities. But in the matter of appointment of the Commissioners, the above aspects have been given a go by, relying upon the non-formulation of any guidelines in this regard. The absence of any guidelines cannot be taken as granted for the Government to act in an arbitrary and confidential manner. The spirit behind the Act should have been borne in mind in the process of making the appointments.
Above all the present system of appointment has resulted in non-complying with various sections of the Act. The sections 4, 15, 17, 18, 19(8)(b), 20, 22, 25 and 26 are not complied with by none of the agencies of Govt., Public Authority or even by the State Information Commission. But there are rampant misuse of sec. 11 and 24 of the Act.
Hence it has become a necessity in the interest of ensuring justice and fair play to make an application by the real social activists seeking appointment as Commissioner with the sole intention and effort to secure the implementation of the Act to its letter and spirit.
Accordingly I earnestly request to consider my application.

Sir,
Sub: Application for the position of State Information Commissioner- reg.
Consequent to the enactment of RTI Act 2005, the State Information Commission was constituted. But the appointment of Chief and other Information Commissioners has created controversies for the reason that the provisions u/s 15 was not fully complied with. Especially the sub-section (5) of sec. 15 was totally neglected in the above appointments.
15(5): The State Chief Information Commissioner and the State Information Commissioners
Shall be persons of eminence in public life with wide knowledge and experience in law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media or administration and governance.
Non-consideration of the above section of the Act has resulted in ineffective
functioning of the Commission in all respects. For the failure of the Public Information Officers
in disseminating the information, the penalty clause u/s. 20 was not properly resorted to. This has emboldened almost all the PIOs of Public Authorities taking the short cut to deny the
crucial information. Such attitudes have totally defeated the letter and spirit of the RTI Act, besides paving way for undermining the effectiveness of the very Act.
The very basis of the Act is to ensure transparency and accountability in the functioning of the Public Authorities. But in the matter of appointment of the Commissioners, the above aspects have been given a go by, relying upon the non-formulation of any guidelines in this regard. The absence of any guidelines cannot be taken as granted for the Government to act in an arbitrary and confidential manner. The spirit behind the Act should have been borne in mind in the process of making the appointments.
Above all the present system of appointment has resulted in non-complying with various sections of the Act. The sections 4, 15, 17, 18, 19(8)(b), 20, 22, 25 and 26 are not complied with by none of the agencies of Govt., Public Authority or even by the State Information Commission. But there are rampant misuse of sec. 11 and 24 of the Act.
Hence it has become a necessity in the interest of ensuring justice and fair play to make an application by the real social activists seeking appointment as Commissioner with the sole intention and effort to secure the implementation of the Act to its letter and spirit.
Accordingly I earnestly request to consider my application.

Despite threats, activists soldier on, ask for support
Despite threats, activists soldier on, ask for support
times of india, chennai edition page no.4, 8th july 2011

When RTI activist V Gopalakrishnan gets a call on his mobile from an unknown number he starts recording the call. “Do you hear the beep? It’s recording. Please cut the call and call back later,” he says after he is convinced that the caller is not going to threaten him.
For Gopalakrishnan, threats are par for the course. They come with the territory of RTI activism.
Last year, he had filed an RTI request asking for the property details of an official when he got a call from a local politician asking Gopalakrishnan to withdraw his request. But Gopalakrishnan had used his mobile phone to record the conversation and used it as audio evidence in a complaint to the police. Though not much came of the complaint, such precautions help, he says.
P Balasubramaniam, an activist in Cuddalore, says that he was threatened by a builder when he filed an RTI request asking if government poromboke land had been converted to housing plots.
The threats first start
as soft and polite conversation, says V Balakiruttinan, an activist in Vayaloor, Vandavasi. Those who could land in trouble due to the RTI request then send those known to the activist with a request to compromise. “We explain to them that we are doing this for a larger social cause. We want solutions and are not interested in compromise,” he says.
Balakiruttinan explains that networking with other activists and working as a team helps to handle threats. The activists, however, are convinced that threats and attempts to browbeat can be beaten back if there is a critical mass of people joining the fight against corruption using the act.
At the same time, many TOI readers, while supporting RTI as a tool to fight corruption, ask for more details. They want to know how to file RTI requests and take follow up action. But, already, many NGOs have taken up the cause of promoting awareness of RTI and popularizing it among the people.
Various fora have come up to address this gap starting from RTI clubs in educational institutions such as the one run at Shree Niketan Matriculation School. Institutions of higher education such as Vellore Institute of Technology have an RTI chapter, set up in association with Fifth Pillar India, a non-governmental organisation.
“We distribute ‘zerorupee’ notes at schools as a symbolic gesture of our bid to discourage corruption and talk to students from classes VI to XII about the RTI Act and how they can use it,” said T Jayaseelan, Manager — Administration and RTI, Fifth Pillar Indian NGO.
He suggested that each district collectorate could conduct RTI awareness programmes every Monday as grievance redressal meetings were held on the same day. Gopalakrishnan said that advertisements in Tamil dailies and allocation of funds from the government for non-governmental organisations to carry out awareness campaigns on RTI, as carried out by National Aids Control Organisation on HIV-AIDS, would help carry the message to the grassroots, Gopalakrishnan suggested.
Social studies textbooks in schools should describe the RTI process
Information commissioners should be non-bureaucrats so they have no vested interest
Funds can be given to NGOs promoting awareness like in the AIDS control programme
Signboards in all offices needed to explain the process

‘How many know about RTI?’
‘How many know about RTI?’
times of india, chennai edition page no.4.
TOI Readers Are Enthusiastic About Fighting Corruption Through RTI. But Many Want To Know How
• How many of us know about RTI? Hardly a single digit percentage of population is aware of such an act. Even those like me who know a bit about the act don’t know all the details such as where to file an application andhow to file. There are many questions about the act. Awareness among the common people is important. —Shalji V
• Culprit government officers should be traced and punished. —S Murali
• Charge a moderately good amount from the public for services rendered by government departments and pay incentives to employees, but take strong action to root out their delaying tactics. —Ravindranath Kavuri
• Officers work best under fear here so create the fear to get things done.
—Sudarshan
• The government must be creative to bring awareness to the common man about RTI. But unfortunately there is a resistance to following rules and regulations. Officials must be taught to follow rules. As punishment, officers should be sent to experience how the common man is affected for not disclosing information at the right time.
—Iruthayaraj Teresa
• Create awareness among common people. —Akila
• RTI is useful only for educated and courageous people as the government and its employees are quite powerful and will intimidate the people who demand their rights. But RTI should not be the only tool to corner the corrupt. Those who protest against corruption should be protected. At the end of the day, common people also engage in and encourage corruption. Punishing the officers who do not disclose information is the right thing to do. This is a good action. Make officials follow the rules. The concerned lower-level employees should also be punished as the these officials are more involved in corruption than higher officers. Online filing will help those who are busy. Having a grievance mechanism to follow up on the complaints is a very good idea. Along with reprimanding and punishing the concerned officials, the victims should also be compensated by this mechanism. —N Lokanathan
• If we make the process of filing RTI easier, i.e, through online and so on, a huge volume of petitions will come in, which could be difficult to manage and track. So we need to recruit more people to handle RTI complaints or link the RTI process with a state-level Lokayukta to handle the work load.
—Aananth C N
• Try to spread RTI in rural areas.
—Sabina
• Appoint public relations officers in each government office who can give details about RTI. —Chinnasamy
• Making it easier to file RTI applications online would enable more users to address their concerns. —Ashok
• RTI is the golden "key". To use this key, especially in critical situations, everyone should understand the law very well. To use this key, knowledge is essential. Only the state government can educate people and make them aware. State and central governments can take many steps to promote RTI awareness. One way is to educate and motivate people to use RTI. RTI should be included in social studies subjects in schools. They should be made part of the curriculum. College-level seminars on RTI should be arranged to encourage students. Social clubs and NGOs also have an important role to play in increasing awareness. Ultimately, people who have regular jobs in companies should be able to use RTI if they are only keen and alert.
—V Srinivasan
• Create a grievance mechanism so that information unearthed by RTI is followed up and corrective action taken!

Soon, track status of RTI plea online
Soon, track status of RTI plea online

CHENNAI: In a move to promote greater transparency, the State Information Commission (SIC) will soon help individuals, who have sought information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, know the status of their application through phone, SMS and the internet. Set to be implemented in phases, the new software that is being procured from the National Informatics Centre (NIC) for this purpose is likely to be put through a trial run starting July 15, state chief information commissioner K S Sripathi told TOI.
"Our original target was to bring this into effect in June but there was a delay as NIC was sorting out a few issues with the software. We are hoping to do a trial run of people calling by phone to check the status of their application starting July 15," he said. By August, the commission plans to introduce the option for applicants to check the status of their case through SMS and through the SIC website.
Pointing out that this would spare applicants the effort of making a visit to the commission in person to enquire about the status, Sripathi added that the SIC was also working on organising its files with an efficient retrieval system now in place and trained personnel to handle files dating back three years.
RTI applicants say that the commission has come a long way in the last year. "About eight months ago, the commission did not even put up copies of its orders online or maintain a record of the number of cases that were received every month. This system can be used by applicants to file RTI applications every month just to find out the status of their original application. Otherwise, they would have no idea what happened to their original application," said V Madhav, an RTI activist.
Other activists such as V Gopalakrishnan concur with the observation. "This move will help people from the districts get access to information. For instance, if a person has filed an RTI query from Kanyakumari, he or she need not come all the way to Chennai to enquire about the status of his application," he said.
