About Us

 About J&K RTI Foundation: The J&K RTI Foundation seeks to empower people and to deepen democracy, through promoting people’s right to information. Through the use of this right, it seeks to fight corruption and social apathy, to make governments, and other institutions and agencies having an impact on public welfare, more humane and accountable to the people, and to promote efficiency and frugality. The J&K RTI Foundation’s endeavor is to deepen democracy and achieve Constitutional principles through the use of transparency, enforcing accountability, and facilitating participation in transparent and accountable governance. 

The J&K RTI Foundation aims to constantly engage and interact with the state and with other institutions and agencies. It campaigns for the use of a right to information law that is effective and accessible to all, and supports people’s efforts at developing the ability and motivation to use the right to information for addressing individual and social problems. It works at disseminating the RTI law and encourages and supports the development of materials related to transparency and governance, the raising of awareness about the fundamental value of information, the conduct of research, and the setting up of information clearing houses. It seeks to further the cause of transparency by adopting other direct and indirect methods, including the filing of information requests, the fighting of legal cases, and the holding of public hearings. The J&K RTI Foundation seeks to actively work with other progressive campaigns and movements and in solidarity with other progressive elements of society.
