The RTI Act
should be included in school curriculum so that students would know its
prominence.
In fact,
every individual, particularly women, should come forward to question the
injustice being meted out to them, to ensure transparency in governance and
administration, Central Information Commission commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu
has felt.
Addressing a
seminar on ‘Women Empowerment with RTI Act’ conducted by the NSS unit of JNTU-K
and the women’s wing of Samachara Hakku Prachara Aikya Vedika (SHPAV) here on
Saturday, Sridhar explained that the RTI Act is a powerful weapon and helps
women to empower themselves and protect their rights. It also facilitates the
public and various organisations to raise their voice against the scams in governments
and other anti-social activities in private organisations as well, he said.
SHPAV
president Naalam Aandaal presided over the meeting. JNTU-K rector Prabhakar
Rao, registrar Prasad Raju, JNTU College of Engineering principal Ramachandra
Raju, Kakinada Rural MLA Ananthalakshmi and representatives of various NGOs
also attended.
