V. Sangeetha, Dr. M. Veeraselvam

Abstract :

 Right to Information Act is very truly identified as “The Panacea for eradication of corruption” The act commonly known as RTI act is an act of the Parliament of India to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities in order to promote transparency and accountability in their working of every public authority.RTI was passed by parliament on June 15, 2005 and came into force on October 12, 2005 in 2000 a movement led by Anna Hazare forced the state Government to enact a stronger Tamil Nadu RTI act. This act was later considered as the base document for the right to information act 2005 which was enacted by Union Government. After the Act came into existence it has become evident that there are many anticipated and unanticipated consequences of the act. These have manifested themselves in various forms. While some of the issues pertain to procedural aspects of the government others pertain to the capacity aspects. Though the inception of the act flourished well in the state limits and Tamil Nadu was considered as one of the forerunners in the same but since then the implementation has been challenging the current scenario states that Tamil Nadu is enlisted even in the first ten names. The awareness level of the people was to be checked essentially to know the cause of Tamilnadu.
