In the developing countries like India, a sizable portion of the population still lives in abject poverty despite the massive administrative structure established to spearhead national developmental initiatives. The last ten years have seen a growing disparity in wealth distribution, with the rich becoming increasingly affluent while the poor continue to struggle, widening the gap between the two socioeconomic groups. Social justice demands focused attention on the underprivileged to help them escape poverty, requiring efficient administration and a revamped structure for socio-economic development. Effective governance, including empowering citizens through the RTI Act, is crucial for keeping a check on our sarkar. Only then can developing countries meet their constitutional goals to improve the lives of millions suffering from poverty and other socio-economic issues. This study is undertaken to unravel the scenario regarding the implementation of RTI Act and its effectiveness in promoting government accountability and citizen empowerment.
