The Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and
Pensions Shri Prithviraj Chavan launched the Logo on RTI and the RTI
portal today in the presence of Shri. A N. Tiwari, Chief Information
Commission and Shri. Shantanu Consul, Secretary, DoPT.
It is a simple and iconic logo depicting a sheet of paper with
information on it, and the public authority – providing the
information. This represents people's empowerment through transfer and
accountability in Governance. The logo's shape and structure make it
easy to remember, recall and replicate with minimal distortion.
In the last five years the RTI regime has heralded a regime of
transparency and accountability and strengthened the democratic
structure of the country. Success stories of citizens using the RTI
Act abound. The Act has achieved great success in empowering the
citizens of India. However it was felt that the core values of the RTI
regime – Empowerment, Transparency and Accountability- need to be
given a shape in the form of a logo. The logo would be displayed at
all public authorities and will be used in various communications
related to RTI.
The Right to Information Portal – A Gateway on RTI – was also formally
launched on this occasion. The portal is one stop knowledge bank for
information seekers, information providers, trainers, Information
Commissions, students and academicians. It provides for a digital
library, discussion fora, e- newsletter and a blog. Latest judgments
of the High Courts and Information Commissions; reports, articles,
guides, manuals, handbooks for various stakeholders; online
certificate course are also available on this portal. There is
facility for stakeholders to interact through dedicated and open
discussion forum and register as resource persons. The web URL for the
Portal is www.rtigateway.org.in.
