Chauhan said the RTI Act was playing an important role in strengthening public participation in the democratic process and ensuring transparency and accountability in governance and administration.

The service providers had also been sensitised and people were also getting benefits of the Act, he added.

Chauhan said documents available in the office should be listed in a systematic manner. The compliance of various financial rules and office manuals should be ensured in office document management.
