Abstract

In the age of information, communication and technology, the digitalisation of governance is quintessential for implementing a culture of transparency and accountability in administration. India is a quasi-federal state and administration happens at the centre and state levels. In this context, this article makes a comparative study of the digitalisation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act in India at the centre and state levels of administration and governance. The article looks at the legislation on the right to information, the factors that motivated the digitalisation of the RTI Act, the importance of the RTI Act under Sustainable Development Goals and the political reasons behind the inadequate operationalisation of the RTI Act. The article concludes with a summary of the arguments and key policy recommendations.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
