The full form of RTI is Right to Information. The Right to Information Act, 2005, which was passed by the Indian Parliament on June 15, 2005, and into effect on October 12, 2005, grants the right to information. The RTI aims to enhance accountability and openness in the operation of public authorities and protect access to data under public authority control. The RTI Act empowers citizens to seek information from public authorities, making them accountable to the public they serve. The act covers all government departments, ministries, and public agencies.
