Abstract
The Right to Information Act, 2005, is an
important legal instrument for strengthening administrative transparency and
accountability in India. This Act has given citizens the right to monitor the
functioning of the government, thereby changing the traditional culture of
administrative secrecy. This is a historic legislative step that strengthens
transparency, accountability and citizen empowerment in Indian democracy. The
Act challenged the privacy-centric tradition of governance by providing
citizens with a legal right to access government information. The present
research paper discusses the constitutional background, salient features, it’s
positive (advantages) and negative (limitations/challenging) aspects have been
critically analyzed and suggestions for future improvements have been
presented.
