Subject: Application for the post of Chief Information Commissioner/Information Commissioner of the Maharashtra State Information Commission.

Sir,

            The term of the present Chief Information Commissioner of the State Information Commission, Dr Suresh Vinayakrao Joshi will come to an end in October 2010. Since other vacancies may also open up in coming months, I am, herewith, applying for the post of Chief Information Commissioner or Information Commissioner of the Maharashtra State Information Commission as and when the next set of appointments are made.

Section 15(5) of the Right to Information act says that "The State Chief Information Commissioner and State Information Commissioners shall be persons of eminence in public life with wide knowledge and experience in law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media or administration and governance."

I am an active campaigner for the cause of Right to Information, and am widely considered as an authority on the subject. I am regularly invited by various forums to give talks and conduct workshops on RTI and citizen empowerment. The formats that I have developed for proper implementation of RTI by public authorities and information commissions have been carried verbatim in the PriceWaterhouse Cooper report (2009), and representations drafted by me have resulted in pointwise instructions being put out by the Maharashtra Information Commission and subsequently, a number of GRs and circulars being issued by Maharashtra Government. My campaigning work and views are regularly featured in all the major national dailies across the nation.

I have enclosed my detailed resume along with this application. I request you to consider my candidature for the post of the Chief Information Commissioner of the Maharashtra State Information Commission and the post of Information Commissioner of the Maharashtra State Information Commission. I affirm that, if appointed, I will not spare any effort to fulfill the duties of this very important position, in a complete manner so that this landmark act is implemented in letter and in spirit.

Thanking you.

for and on behalf of Krisharaj Rao
