Showing contexts for: devolution of powers in Discussion On The Right To Information Bill, 2004. (Not Concluded) on 10 May, 2005Matching Fragments
Decades earlier, the dream of the late Shri Rajiv Gandhi, our beloved leader, was the devolution of power to the people. His slogan was : "More power to the people." Now, under the leadership of Shrimati Sonia Gandhi, who happens to be the Chairman of the NAC, the dream has been realised. Now, the people of India will be able to exactly know about all that is taking place in their periphery, including in the local bodies, State and all national public affairs.
Right to Information was first introduced in Sweden in the year 1776. It is in the course of evolution that we are now getting ready to accept this Bill with a view to providing more transparency in our governance. Henceforth, the Government will be more accountable to the people.
