"Right to Information Act" - A tool for good governance and social change through Information Technology

For good governance to exist in both theory and practice, citizens must be empowered to participate in meaningful ways in decision-making processes. They have a right to information and to access. Although widespread accessibility remains a barrier for many countries, one of those ways is through Information Technology (IT) applications such as the Internet. E-governance has emerged as a viable means to address development issues and challenges because citizens find social change through access to information. The paper will outline a detailed analysis on the present usage of Information Technology for the benefit of civil society towards good governance.
