Massive RTI's for Sec 4(1)(b) implementation -Need Volunteers

******************** Call For Volunteers ********************

On the occasion of completion of 5years of implementation of RTI(On Oct 12th 2010), we are planning a massive event of filing 500 RTI applications on the Govt departments in AndhraPradesh (HOD's and District offices in Hyderabad,Rangareddy districts).

The motif of this event is the implementation of Section 4.1(b) in all the Govt. offices. The act 4.1(b) is the core act and the advantages of implementation of this act in Govt. offices are multi fold. The general public will get more accessibility if the act is implemented in all the Govt offices. Please find more details about 4.1(b) in "ap.gov.in" under the RTI tab.

We have scheduled a meeting, this Saturday(@9AM), to discuss the further proceedings. We request interested people to take part in this act. We are planning to make this still magnanimous by garnering more support from people from any part of AP.

Current Team: Abdul Azeez, Srinivas Rao Ganji, Subrahmanyam,Pradeep,Avanish, Praveen

Venue: LokSatta Party Office, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad
Time: 9am
Date: 25th Sept.2010

@Pragathi Degree College - RTI Session

Volunteers from Loksatta Kukatpally and Sanjeevani joined their hands to conduct RTI sessions in the colleges in and around kukatpally.

Keeping in mind that the youth of this country should be aware of the most powerful weapon handed over to them, and should know how to use it, volunteers have gone ahead with the event planner.

Sambireddy Bontu has taken care of the initial formalities like reaching out to various colleges, getting permissions etc.The responses from the colleges have been very positive and it is indeed a good sign that a lot of principals readily agreed to arrange for sessions in their colleges.

On  09-11-2010  RTI awareness session has been conducted in Pragathi Womens Degree College (Kukatpally,Hyd).Abdul Azeez and Sambi Reddy Bonthu have taken the sessions for different batches and they received a fantastic response.

The topics like : What is RTI, the basics and back ground, how it has been helpful to general public, few success stories of RTI, sample application forms, and what is expected from students etc are covered in today's session.

Students seem to be highly motivated and as an answer to organizer's question at the end of the session, they promised aloud that they will not bribe people going forward.

Sanjeevani hopes that these sessions will indeed bring some change in the attitude of all those students, and wishes for a bright future.If you are willing to arrange for RTI sessions in your own college, or in and around Hyderabad , or if you have any suggestion, please do write to us : loksattasanjeevani@gmail.com
