Agartala:
Tripura Friday became the first Indian state to introduce online
filing of Right to Information (RTI) complaints.
Chief Minister Manik Sarkar launched the service of the Tripura
Information Commission (TIC) here.
"The National Informatics Centre (NIC) developed a software for
the National Information Commission to operate the 'Online System'
of getting information, filing complaints by the people and their
processing under the RTI Act," Tripura's Chief Information
Commissioner B.K. Chakraborty told IANS.
"We have customised NIC's software to introduce the new system -
first among the Indian states. Either using networks of National
Informatics Centre or BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) or any
other networks, anybody can now file their application to the RTI
authority from any places in India," Chakraborty added.
According to the TIC chief, the disposal rate of RTI complaints
filed by people is more than 95 percent in Tripura, where more
than 20,000 applications have been submitted under the RTI Act
since the commission started functioning in January 2006.
In his speech, Sarkar appreciated the efforts of the TIC for its
effective work on RTI.
"In various social issues, including RTI and voluntary blood
donation, Tripura has become the number one state in India," he
said.
