In order to
encourage people to understand societal relevance of the Right to Information
Act and its nuances, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has
decided to introduce certificate and diploma courses in the subject.
The Central
Information Commission (CIC) has extended its support to the university to work
out the courses, which will form compulsory part of the training module for all
Central Government employees.
“We gauged
that though people understand the importance of RTI, it is not widely known how
to go about it, what are the technicalities, how to frame the questions, how
and where to make further appeals and much more,” a senior university official
said.
“That is why
we decided to introduced the course and approached CIC for their support in
content generation and other similar issues,” he added.
