An orientationprogramme was arranged for the staff handling of RAIC. A total of 210 phone callswere received. Most of the callers were facing a situation in which service providerswere demanding bribes. About 21 percent callers/visitors filed RTI applications invarious departments (12 percent of them received the demanded information) andused it as a tool which helped these people to get the required services, which weredenied earlier, without paying any bribes.Most of the people who benefited from RAIC were from rural areas. Only 16 percenturban people visited the RAIC to learn about the RTI and its filing process. 19 percentwere women again, mainly from villages. It was good to note that government employeeswere also eager to know about it and about nine percent of them availed the servicesof RAIC. 79 percent were from the NGO sector.In all the cases, people wanted to know either the RTI application filing process orfirst or second appeal process. 54 percent of the parties wanted to use RTI, while 355parties were interested in knowing about the RTI Act, 2005 itself.ImportanceThe RAIC catered to the needs of guidance seekers from every part of Rajasthan.ChallengesIt was difficult to keep the focus on selected schemes under the project and projectareas of Jaipur and Tonk districts.Model Framework for Replication: Usages of RTI in Rural Rajasthan, India 29
