RTI: Citizens Experiences: 80 Pages of Resource Material on Bureaucratic Hurdles to Development

PRIA is an International Centre for Learning and Promotion of Democratic Governance.It was founded in 1982, in reponse to the realisation that grassroot realities across much of India revealed that governments were unable to deliver relevant or sustainable development programmes. At the same time, local level initiatives were successful in raising awareness and mobilising community to participate in different aspects of their own development. PRIA works locally, nationally and globally.
Society for Participatory Research in India

We thank Maj PM Ravindran for the information.

Comment: ESM, Ex- Servicemen Organisations and the like- minded NGO's have excellent opportunities under the RTI Act to combat Bureaucratic Corruption. How many ESM and welfare Organisations are using this potent weapon to curb corruption?
