The Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) has asked all its affiliated colleges to make voluntary disclosure mandated under the RTI Act, 2005.
In an order issued on
Monday, the varsity asked colleges to update the required information on their
official websites at least twice a year.
"Section 4 of the RTI Act, 2005, details the suo motu disclosure of certain information for public institutions. The required information needs to be provided by colleges proactively to all stakeholders in order to set the regime of accountability and transparency," Bamu public relations officer, Sanjay Shinde, said.
The voluntary disclosure includes a set of details, including the functions and duties of the organisation, the powers and duties of employees, the process followed in decision-making, supervision and accountability, and norms for functions. It also includes making available governing rules, regulations, manuals and records, and sharing categories of documents held. The required details also incorporate the budget, subsidies, details of recipients, and details of public information officers, among other vital information.
Bamu had over 400 affiliated colleges located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dharashiv, Beed and Jalna districts, which need to make the necessary voluntary disclosure under the RTI Act.
Suhas Morale, the principal of Swa Sawarkar Arts, Science and Commerce College, in Beed, said every educational institute needs to follow the key provisions of the RTI Act.
"There should not be any reluctance from colleges in setting the regime of transparency. A section of colleges has already made the necessary disclosure, and the remaining ones need to ensure compliance," he said.
