The Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, empowers citizens to access government information, promoting transparency and accountability in governance. Each year, millions of RTI applications are filed, seeking information on issues like basic rights, corruption, and government actions. By enabling public scrutiny, the RTI helps prevent abuses of power and supports democratic functioning. The Supreme Court has upheld RTI as a fundamental right under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution, linking it to the freedom of speech and the right to life, making it crucial for a vibrant democracy.
