Right to information (RTI Act 2005) Karnataka - Is it in sync with Digital and One India.

We started researching on Right to information (RTI 2005) systems in India starting with Center then going to every state.

In the same series we evaluated Karnataka, with below methodology same for every state -

We got a citizen of India file an RTI with Chief Information Commission of Karnataka

To the chief Information Commissioner.
Please provide me with below information.
1. Does your state have a web portal supporting the spirit of Right to Information Act. Similar and at least providing the same functionality as https://RTIOnline.gov.in where
- Any Citizen of India can go online and file RTI appeal to Information Commission or any of the administrative unit's SPIOs electronically and get an RTI tracking ticket similar to RTIOnline.gov.in.
- Pay the prescribed fee online using Net Banking, Credit Cards.
- Track the status online and get the response on the online portal electronically.
- File First and Second appeal in case RTI response is not satisfactory electronically using the same portal.
2. If answer to query #1 is Yes for all the points, please provide the web portal name.
3. If Answer to all or any of the Query #1 is No.
a).Please provide details on why even after 10 years of RTI Act in place and after multiple years of RTIOnline.gov.in online and working as a benchmark developed by NIC for central government ministries (NIC or similar agencies manages all your state web portals as well) your state is not able to provide this service.
b.) If you have already planned for a similar or better service than RTIOnline.gov.in to serve RTI needs for your state please provide the expected time frame when Citizens of India can start using it.
The Above RTI is for public purpose.

Response

We got the response fairly quick.

Adverting to the application cited above, you are hereby informed that the information sought in your application doesn't come under the perview of Section 2(f) of the Right to information Act 2005. Therefore your request is not considered.

If you are aggrieved by the above reply, you may approach the First Appellate Authority cum the Secretary, kanataka Information Commission, ...

Here is Section 2(f) from RTI Act 2005. RTI Act 2005

2.(f) "information" means any material in any form, including records, documents, memos, e-mails, opinions,advices, press releases, circulars, orders, logbooks, contracts, reports, papers, samples, models, data material held in any electronic form and information relating to any private body which can be accessed by a public authority

under any other law for the time being in force;

How does information requested doesn't come under 2(f). Even after 10 years of RTI in force nobody has even thought or put any opinion, circular on making the process more efficient, even with rti.gov.in working for years. Is that the interpretation, or I'm missing something?

I'm not aggrieved but amused by the response, from state CIC sitting in Bangalore.

Our Aim -

Is to bring efficiency, accountability and transparency in the state RTI system by having all the states on board rti.gov.in or a similar platform working with efficiency similar to existing service by central government.

Status -

The research on the status of RTI for Karnataka is complete and till the date (September 2016) there is no online, consistent facility to file an Right to Information to the state of Karnataka.

Future course of action -

To carry this effort forward we are looking for coordinators in Karnataka, who can work towards a transparent state of Karnataka with our team.

Who can be a coordinator -

Any one with a zeal to improve communities using a non confrontational approach, ready to collaborate with multiple entities and is systematic and patient. A working professional, An activist, A politician, researcher, a housewife, a student. All he/she needs is an inclination for scientific ways, curious, respect and honor, and of course a few hours a week.

Are Coordinators Funded for their efforts?

Yes. BallotBoxIndia is about bringing back the culture of detailed deliberations and research. We follow a tedious systematic approach and are actions and output based. To sustain such efforts the time and efforts spent has to be valued and incentivized.

I can't add value for this particular effort but been active for common good or want to work for better communities ?

Send in your details to innovators@ballotboxindia.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

Team @BallotboxIndia
