Synopsis Right to Information is very useful and significant at a time when the print and electronic media have become very powerful instruments in disseminating information to the public in no time. This book is written with the object of making the information available on 'Right to Information' to the common people in a simple language. This work attempts to outline the significance of the right to information, particularly in empowering ordinary citizens to combat state corruption and to play an important and active role in participatory democracy.  Every effort has been made to present the discussion in clear and systematic manner. The presentation of each chapter has been made more logical, starting with basic issues of each topic and then moving on to refined matters. This book is a valuable addition to the libraries of the courts, advocates, public authorities, universities and law schools and the individuals concerned with the subject.
