2. Department-wise RTI application filed It was observed that the need for filing RTI applications was most in the places which were to deal with the delivery of the social benefit schemes. Most of these requests were either when the individual was not provided the benefit of a social scheme or issues linked to village level.

Success ratio in various issues Based on the RTI filed and subsequent follow up with the Government authorities, the villagers were able to succeed in various areas, where the Government Department took note of the issues and took necessary actions. While in no case, this is to claim that it has led to a significant change in the levels of corruption and accountability, but it shows a glimpse of how an informed citizenry – even if illiterate and marginalized – can bring in transparency & improvement in the system.
