Happy to share my court has disposed 5056 RTI appeals in 2021-22 which is the highest in any 1 year by a Central Information Commissioner in the 16 year history of CIC set up under RTI law in 2005. Thank CIC Shri YK Sinha, fellow commissioners & my team for their support
Passed landmark judgements without fear or favour. In one on ancient Sanskrit manuscripts I ruled that a manuscript whether owned by Govt or PVT body is national property as even those who donated for private ones did it for saving our heritage.Was lauded by scholars across globe
In my order on manuscripts I directed National Manuscript Mission to put in public domain all the 3 lakh manuscripts of private bodies that it had digitised for benefit of researchers when told that only 28,000 of these were in put public domain. Much appreciated by Indologists
For better results took creative steps like coordinating with Public Information officers of Union Ministries under my charge even by calling their group meetings to know their problems while strictly directing them to ensure RTI Act’s objectives of transparency & accountability
Thank my office staff led by Dy. Registrar Rakesh Rao who made success possible even at the cost of personal sacrifices The entire staff of CIC also needs to be complimented for its stupendous show in disposing 28903 cases in 2021-2022
