Chandigarh: The Haryana
education department will add a chapter on the Right to
Information (RTI) Act in the curricula of schools and colleges
across the state, a senior officer said here Saturday.
Chief Secretary Urvashi Gulati said this was one of the several
steps being taken to make the administration transparent and
making people, especially the younger generation, aware to take
advantage of the RTI Act.
She said that with a view to promoting openness, transparency and
accountability in the working of every public authority, the RTI
Act had been fully implemented in Haryana.
Gulati said all departments in the state have been directed to
prepare their 'Citizens' Charters' to improve performance in
service delivery and to provide service which meets people's
needs.
"The Citizens' Charters of 111 departments and organizations have
so far been formulated and the charters of the remaining
department and organizations are in the process of being framed,"
she said.
