Ever wondered what the RTI Act is and why is it important? Let’s start with the history of how the RTI Act came about. (trust us it won’t be boring)

You can also do your bit and fight for a transparent govt. Send across any RTI applications to which the govt has responded with silence, evasive, contradictory replies, or just a blanket 'no' in the form of Section 8. shorturl.at/aknCD

Fight for the RTI Act begins: Three petitioners, including Nitin Sethi of The Reporters' Collective, file a case against the amendment in the Supreme Court on February 16, 2026. The Court issues notice to the government but does not stay the amendments. reporters-collective.in/blog/statement…

Why is the right to information so important? How will the Digital Personal Data Protection affect our access to information? RTI was tool for the people to question the govt of the day and it is being diluted. Read about it here: rti404.com/rti-101
