           National PPP Policy 2011 - Draft for Consultation
 
PPP Projects Viz RTI Act 2005

During RTI Convention 2010, it was opined that 'Public Private Partnerships' (PPP) projects ought to be under RTI Act 2005.
 
In this context on 04 January 2011, Shri Satyananda Mishra the Hon'ble CIC had written a letter to Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission. 
 
The said CIC letter was responded by Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia on 14 March 2011.
 
 Both these letters can be read on CIC website on following links

Media had given adequate coverage to above letters.

Draft of National PPP Policy 2011 Promulgated by Ministry of Finance
  
On 27 September 2011, the Ministry of Finance has promulgated "Draft of PPP Policy 2011" and solicited views / suggestions from all stakeholders by 15 October, 2011. The Min Of Finance circular can be perused on Link below:

The National draft PPP Policy 2011  can also be downloaded (PDF) from Link :
 
 http://pppinindia.com/pdf/draftnationalppppolicy.pdf
 
 
My Take :
 
Since huge amount of 'Public Assets' are used by the Centre and State Governments for contracting PPP Projects... It is but natural that People act as Watchdogs to ensure accountability in the expenditure of PPP projects V/s benefits accrued to society at large.
 
Therefore while signing contracts the Centre & State Governments must ensure that the PROJECT comes within the perview of RTI Act 2005.
 
Now its Our Call:
 
 PLEASE SEND YOUR VIEWS/SUGGESTIONS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
 
Best
