The Right to Information Act, 2005 (22 of 2005) has been enacted by the
Parliament and has come into force from 15 June, 2005. This Act provides for
right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the
control of public authorities in order to promote transparency and
accountability in the working of every public authority. All Universities and
Colleges established by law made by Parliament or by State Legislature or by
notification by the appropriate Government or owned, controlled or substantially
financed directly or indirectly by funds provided by the Government shall come
within the meaning of a Public Authority under this Act. |

Whereas, some provisions of this act have come into effect immediately on its
enactment (that is on 15 June 2005), other provisions shall come into effect on
100 / 120 days of its enactment. All universities and colleges are therefore
advised to carefully go through this Act and take necessary steps for
implementation of various provisions including proactive disclosure of certain
kind of information. Such information shall be made available to the public at
large through the website by the concerned university/college . |
