Book on
RTI released
Central
Information Commissioner Madabhushi Sridhar has termed the right to information
an uncompromising right and said it should be implemented in letter and spirit.
For government officials, being public servants, there is no scope for any
secrecy in their functioning. He was addressing a gathering after the release
of his book ‘RTI and
misconduct of
public servant: Is bribing a family affair’ by RINL CMD P. Madhusudan at a
function organised by Writers Academy on Sunday at Platinum Jubilee Guest
House.
He said the
book analysed Section 8 (1) of the RTI Act quoting the judgments of several
courts. Mr. Madhusudan emphasised the importance of open administration and
said official accountability would increase transparency.
Former
Vice-Chancellor of DSNLU Y. Satyanarayana said the book dealt with the social
responsibility of ending corruption.
DSNLU
Vice-Chancellor V. Kesava Rao, who presided, said DSNLU would print 1000 copies
of the book translating it into Telugu.
Writers’
Academy Chairman V.V. Ramana Murthy and others participated.
