PREFACE

How far the Right to Information Act 2005, and the Rules framed
therein in the Stamps & Registration Department – have achieved its
goal will have to be watched with keenness as we proceed ahead in
public service. On reading the contents it should enhance public
service delivery and thereby satisfy them to a large extent and so also
bind the public servants in the discharge of their duties in a more
responsible manner. Unless we progress in transparency and be able
to do things in a truthful way, Civil Service will improve little in this
country. No work should be done in secret and everything should be
done in the open and truthfully, then the rest will be set alright. That
is the assertion.

I do hope and wish that the Act will not be a small step in that
direction but a big leap. It should also not be like one of the many
Acts and Rules for the sake of enactment, that has been there in heaps
but rarely in use.
