A noted activist in Right To Information (RTI) movemnet, Shri Arvind Kejariwal, recently said in Pune that the state government is coming out with an act to empower ward sabhaa on the lines ofgraam sabhaa. It would be better if this act is prepared by people's participation rather than formulated by the government. Maharashtra legislative assembly has passed an act empowering ward sabhaas in cities, on the lines of graam sabhaas in villages, to receive funds from JNURM. The act is pending before legislative council. It would be a better idea to prepare such an act through people's particiaption. All the schemes are designed and planned for people but are implemented without consideration to their views. This needs to change.
RTI Act is there in about 70 countries all over the world, but the indian act is best in terms of its spread and focus.
