           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
 

   http://cic.gov.in/IMP-Letters/Letter-To-DyChairman-on-PPP.pdf
 
  
    http://cic.gov.in/IMP-Letters/Reply-From-DC-14032011.pdf
 
 
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:

 
  http://pppinindia.com/draftpolicy.php

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

Resistance to disclosure is a phenomenon that is confined not only to the

Re: [rti4empowerment] From WEDS - To Mr. Hazare - your comment on RTI

Mr Arun,

These days, Mr Roy does not use RTI against (or for) anyone and anything.
He only uses the Gun Lokpal Bill.
(Or sometimes, the "Arrow" Lokpal Bill)

Dear Mr. Roy,

I am not evading the substance of your query "WHAT/WHY".

I will definitely answer that.

But before that could you please explain how RTI can be used against Govt. ?

Does Govt. mean any particular department, personnel or any PIO ?

"our members have every right to use our mailing list to have their say since it is directly related to RTI. and empowerment of citizens to use RTI against Govt."

Please explain how RTI can be used against Govt.? Do you have any action plan to use RTI against Govt.?
Does Mr. WED's mail empowered your member to use RTI against Govt.?

Further I'm really surprised that you obtained some information from IB sources relating to team Anna.

If those info were really gathered through RTI ( which I'm sure not) and credible enough why are you not lodging an FIR against Mr. Kejriwal?

Lastly you have still not co- related posing queries against team Anna and RTI empowerment.

Best Regards,

Re: [HumJanenge] First Time: Need Help!

RTI is meant only to get info n not for action,after getting the info about the land than u can take up the case for converting it to the use u want for ie (change of use of land) if so required from the municipality / town planning office.

Dear Friends @ Hum Janenge,

Greetings!!

I am using this forum for the first time to seek help & guidance from all of you for a small issue that touches the lives of around 450 Families in a small but growing town called Thane in Maharashtra.

We live in housing complex of 13 buildings in the outskirts of Thane city near Upvan Lake. For approximately 3500 residents & adjoining settlements/gaonthan, we do not have a designated park or an open designated space.

We have an open space surrounded by our buildings designated as "Land for Displaced" with an area of around 3000 Sq. Meters in government records. This space has been slowly encroached by local shanties & a local builder has kept his men on the land.

However major portion of the land is still open & we want to use this as public play ground or convert it into a park for which the apex body is ready to contribute. Currently we are maintaining the remaining open space as a small ground.

I want to know:

1. How can we get rid of the encroachment using the RTI?

2. Can we use RTI to convert the reservation on the land from Resettlement for Displaced to Green Zone?

3. How can we force the local body which is Thane Municipal Council to atleast clear whatever is available & create a boundary around the space?

Need Help!!! 
Warm regards,
