Chennai RTI updates

*****Sticky Post. Regular programming continues below.*****

A couple of weeks ago, I had posted here an announcement regarding the Chennai Right To Information (CRTI) initiative. On behalf of CRTI, I had requested a few other bloggers to plug this effort on their blogs and help us spread the word around. Thanks to all of you, CRTI is pleased to inform that we received a good response to the first meeting.

At the meeting, some organizational ground work to get the initiative off the ground was done. CRTI now has a very basic website that is slowly being updated with more and more information. We are in the process of setting up a blog as well. There has been some on the ground developments as well. Please visit the Latest News section on the CRTI webpage know more about what is going on.

As of now, the CRTI has several member/volunteers. We are looking for more people to help us get it going. Specifically we are looking forward to hearing from people in the media and the law to spread the word and also to advise on due process. Also, we would love to interact with a graphics designer to help us with some web/banner design. If you think you can make a difference in any way possible, please email us at chennairti@gmail.com.

Hi Anti...for starters I wanted to complement the team for a good initiative. There is a thriving yahoo group on the Central right to Information Act wherein activists, active citizens regularly have discusions and exchange of ideas over various issues. It's called Hum Janenge. You guys could probabaly contact them and get going from there. The forum has activists like Shailesh Gandhi from Mumbai who is basically very active in propagating the Right to information act to the masses and has been doing great work in Mumbai. If you need any more information,feel free to mail me. Will be more than glad to help.... :)

Hardu: I have a time machine ;) LOL... Blogger lets you do that. Look on the posting window. There is a hidden tool bar that opens up when you click on the bottom of the post above the publish button.
