The right to information includes an access to the information which is held by or under the control of any public authority and includes the right to inspect the work, document, records, taking notes, extracts or certified copies of document/records certified samples of the materials and obtaining information which is also stored in electronic form. The government of India has enacted "Right to Information Act 2005" to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of any public authority. This book examines the importance of right to information comprehensively. It will be of great interest to those working in government, NGO’s government-aided institutions, academic and people in general in understanding the right to information.
