This is the time of information, Information is a tool which empowers the weakest. Information is very important for the industrial growth. MSMEs require important information regarding beneficial policies, licensing and tax benefits etc. from the Govt. Information affects the plan of MSMEs.To facilitate MSMEs to fill Right to Information Applications correctly with the concerned authorities, a Help Desk has been set up by Milagrow Business and Knowledge Solutions. The filing of R.T.I application for MSMEs is free of charge, any material cost incurred would be payable by the client.The filings are done by us in Delhi and N.C.R. region only. For any region outside Delhi, we would help connect to RTI activist who is helping the people in filing the R.T.I. Applications in that region.
Importance of Right to Information
-
Right to Information accords it sufficient importance, as being inherent to democratic functioning and a pre-condition to good governance and the realization of all other human right.
-
Right to Information becomes part of the accepted international obligations of the state. This means that the right to access information attracts the guarantee of protection by the state.
-
Right to Information distances it from being merely an administrative measure by which information is gifted by governments to their people at their discretion since a legally enforceable right cannot be narrowed or ignored at the whim of government.
-
Right to Information creates a duty-holder on the one hand and a beneficiary of a legal entitlement on the other. Non-disclosure of information is therefore a violation and the beneficiary can seek legal remedy.
-
Right to Information signals that information belongs to the public and not government. The idea that everything is secret unless there is a strong reason for releasing it is replaced by the idea that all information is available unless there are strong reasons for denying it. The onus is on the duty-holder to prove its case for refusing to disclose documents.
-
Right to Information sets a higher standard of accountability.
-
Right to Information gives citizens the legal power to attack the legal and institutional impediments to openness and accountability that still dominate the operations of many governments. It moves the locus of control from the state to the citizen, reinstating the citizen as sovereign.
-
The right to information holds within it the right to seek information, as well as the duty to give information, to store, organize, and make it easily available, and to withhold it only when it is proven that this is in the best public interest.
Milagrow requesting the RTI activists to join the movement to spread the awareness about Right to Information.Also a directory of the Right to Information Activists is being created and would be put up soon.
