DoPT has issued a new circular for strengthening the implementation of RTI Act.

Some of the suggestions given are:

1. Annual reports submitted by departments should contain a chapter on RTI including information like number of applications received, number in which information denied, novel efforts made for RTI implementation, etc.

2. Each Ministry/Department/subordinate offices/PSUs/etc. to organise at least one half day training session for PIOs/FAAs - every year

3. All PAs who have a website to upload RTI related data/information on the portal regarding receipts and disposal of RTI applications within 10 days of the close of the month. This is to start from 10th July 2011 - for the Month of June 2011.

I request the Director to include point no 3 in the Proposed website of PUE Department.
