Re: [HumJanenge] Monitoring the existence & functioning of "RTI Cells"

Most CPIOs don't deal with RTIs themselves or interact with applicants. In every large P/A there is an RTI section / section officer which deals with such matters. The DoPT proposal was to regularise this arrangement and expands its activities. Applicants ought not to have to meet the CPIO personally. Its also better to use the Post Office CAPIO route. We must also recognise that CPIOs are doing RTI in addition to their normal work - so it is an impostition on them (not to mention on the non-RTI-ing tax payers) if they waste their time "dealing with" applicants (instead of applications)

Inspection of information though is a big problem, and applicants are made to wait for long periods. We could focus on this.

dear Roy, the CPIO/PIO cell of all ministries must be located in a room to just walk in and not through the reception centres where the CPIO/PIO sitting deep inside some where deep inside make the applicant wait for long for various reasons and does not want to interact in person. beniwal  --- On Sun, 7/8/11, Sarbajit Roy <sroy.mb@gmail.com> wrote: From: Sarbajit Roy <sroy.mb@gmail.com> Subject: [HumJanenge] Monitoring the existence & functioning of "RTI Cells" To: "humjanenge" <humjanenge@googlegroups.com> Date: Sunday, 7 August, 2011, 6:59 AM In May 2011 DoPT advised other Ministries / Depts to set up RTI Cells. http://circulars.nic.in/WriteReadData/CircularPortal/D2/D02rti/1_12_2010-IR19052011.pdf (Please read the annexures carefully - which if actually implemented would sort out a lot of the "process" problems) What is the feedback from our members / have you experienced any improvements ?
