उत्तर

  1. In 1982, L.K. Kulwal, a resident of Jaipur in Rajasthan, a social activist, initiated the process of right to information by applying to know the Jaipur Municipal Corporation’s work for cleaning the city. In the case filed in this matter, the High Court gave a clear verdict stating that ‘Right to Information’ is a fundamental right of all citizens.
  2. In 1990 Aruna Roy started the movement called as ‘Majdoor Kisan Shakti Sanghatan’. A need for ‘Right to Information’ was expressed through this movement.
  3. The Divisional Commissioner of Bilaspur of that time, Harsh Mander, showed courage to disclose official information while serving as a bureaucrat.
  4. The information he disclosed was in the context of the programme of distributing food grains in lieu of daily wages. The struggle of Anna Hazare in 2001, had a decisive role in Maharashtra in this matter. The Act was implemented in Maharashtra on 12th October 2005.

As the result of all this, the Right to Information was implemented in India.
