It's reported that Parliament is inviting suggestions on the implementation of the RTI ACT 2005. So do send your suggestions to rs-cpers@sansad.nic.in with a cc to to us at info@karmayog.org  for wider dissemination and discussion and my suggestions submitted to the parliament is produced here below for general awarness among us:-

1. HAVE YOU FACED ANY PROBLEMS USING RTI ?

Answers: No, I have issued several court suo-motto notices, directions, enquiry notices and also lawyer notices to several government offices, institutions,establishments have never faced /forced to issue RTI applications. As some one offices I have touched was reacted suddently after issuing lawyer's information letter, so it's not my lpractice to issue RTI application about the grievances I have faced in any koffices. It needlessly say here that during that period there have no such acts like RTI and people used to obtain information only by issuing lawyer notice, court intervention etc. Hence present RTI act is very useful and economically be appraisable to poor people like in india.

2. WHAT SORT OF PROBLEMS YOU HAVE FACED?
I am an clean activist for disabled person's rights and their movements. When government of India passed an amendment called Persons with Disability[Equal Opportunity & Protection ] Act 1995 but was not implimented even after 3 years gap when parliment has passed the amendment for disability act. After watching the time being I approached the relevent central government offices to enact the disability act and sought for the informatioln. But non-one has responded for my querry on information nor given any records. Therefore I approached an public litigation maintaining NGO named COMMON CAUSE at New Delhi, then Common Cause issued information letter to the Secretary Governemnt of India and the department was not reacted well in time. Governement's approach on a casual attitude towards prestigious NGOs forced me to complain before National Human Rights Commission, New Delhi, and NHRC sought information and directed the concerned department to issue relevent records, information to me. Accordingly Secretary,Governemnt of india immediately reacted and despated me the Gazette of India which having important clues and notification on PERSONS with DISABILITY ACT -1995 and also appointed Chief Commissioner for Disabilities in New Delhi and subsequent Commissioners in all capital city of a state. Hence using RTI application was not arise at this stage.
3. ACCORDINGLY WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU SUGGEST IN WHICH SPECIFIC CLUES ?

As present system is not able to popularise RTI Act,hence an awarness among public by following systems is be implimented:-
[a] It's better to propularise RTI Act among general public and also for illeterate persons.
By using news paper advertisemnts, TV slide shows, wall-posters, it could be well behaved for each one and expected to be encouragement to the concerned people in

a state also.

[c] In my openion RTI was not popularised about what purpose4 the RTI has been established and the real purpose of the act etc in general public, due to this several

people

using this act as a casual approach also, thereby precious times, workforce, ideas perhaps could l be destroyed in several occassions. Hence it's necessary to

highlight

the necessity by using RTI on a wide colour sentences, words etc. It is better to release press statements for inviting slogans about popularising RTI Act in society.

4. IN WHAT WAYS IS RTI BEING MIS-USED ? WHAT PROBLEM IS SUCH MIS-USE CAUSING ?

Some people using illeterate person for mis-handling the RTI Act for pettitious gain like prestige making, money lending and any other undisclosed purposes Some times it was used for black-mailing the concerned offices of it's subsidieries in what we not to disclose here.

Due to mis-using the RTI act following are the problems we should face:-

[a] Precious times be destroyed/wasted
Institutions/authorities may be on black-mailed

[c] Some one could be manage to mis-lead an office or authorities for pittitious gain.

[d] Concerned offices slowly undergone mind arrest on a way for not understanding maintainance and the basic necessity kof RTI Act

[e] Public image be targetted for bad sequances etc.

5. IF YOU HAVE NOT USED RTI TO RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, WHY NOT ?

So that authorties I have contacted well reacted for my querries in letters and also during the movement when I was in active with movements then RTI Act was not in force and was not popularised for how to utilise the act etc, therefore not using the RTI Act was not arise at this stage.
