The Editorial page - Letters column in The Deccan Chronicle - Chennai edition - April 21, 2010 (page-8) carries the following:
Digital RTI Records Central Information Commission has asked RBI to computerise all its offices by the year end, to comply with Section 4(1) (a) of RTI Act 2005. According to this Section of the Act, every public authority shall maintain all its records duly catalogued and indexed in a manner and the form which facilitates the right to information under this Act and ensure that all records are computerised within a reasonable time. The records should be connected through a network all over the country on different systems so that access to such records is facilitated. Woefully, no Public Authority has implemented this nor is there a clear road map with milestones and budgets. It is time the Centre and States suo motu computerise all records in all Public Authorities to comply with RTI Act. -- Kris Dev, Chennai ttp://www.dc-epaper.com/DC/DCC/2010/04/21/INDEX.SHTML?ArtId=008_031&Search=Y
