RTI Online

Turning "the government should tell me" into an actual mechanism

The Right to Information Act gave Indian citizens a legal right to demand information from public authorities, and this portal is how that right becomes a filed application rather than an abstract entitlement. You pay a small statutory fee (waived for those below the poverty line), submit your question to the relevant Union ministry, and the clock on a mandatory response starts ticking. It is, in a quiet way, one of the most directly usable legal-access tools on this entire list.
