Success Stories of R.T.I.

Mr. Umesh Tiwari Principal of primary school gram panchayat –kurai village Chandoli, was not taking his classes from 1992 and had appointed a teacher on ad-hoc
basis at his place and running his own coaching classes for IAS and PCS elementary examination at his own village which is 30 km away from his school.

The villagers have lodged so many applications and complain against him but everything was in vain. But after the use of RTI he started taking his classes from 15th
august and also making proper arrangement for mid day meal for the student.
This story has been covered by national DD news.

Shiv Tapasya Paswan MLA of Chakiya distract-chandoli U.P. granted fund for Baburi-dharauli marg after lodging an RTI application about the MLA fund. And he is
taking kneen interest about the slandered of thru road.

200 rashan cards have been reissued by B.D.O of village –devwkhat block navgarh after lodging an RTI application.

Dheerja devi W/O Rama Shanker bind (SC) chairperson of ‘Mahila Mangal Dal’ village –negura block –dhanapur is supposed to get caution mani from ‘Yuva Khel
Awam Pradeshek Kalayan Vibhag-Chandoli’ in 2000 .but the department officers and gram pradhan both have swelled up the money, but after the use of RTI act the
present gram pradhan fond them guilty and return money to the actual person.

Because of the use and awareness programme runned by our organization, Mr. Vasudev yadav with his 4 member team have joined our campaign as a volunteer .He is
a Bhojpuri tribal /folk singer who are presenting their programme since 1991 on Doordarshan and Aakashwani Varanasi.

I  am giving training on the use of  RTI act to different 415  youth groups ‘Navyouvak Mangal Dal ‘ around 1600 members of chandoli dist.

Because Chandoli is affected by Naxali movement and from geographical viewpoint, it is filled with forest and valleys. Rivers, Dams and rocky terrain, some where
there is unfurtile land, you have to even struggle to get clean drinking water.

Commencing any programme here  is very tough as this area is surrounded by two states (Bihar and Jharkhand).
