RTI Drive in Bangalore on 12-13 October

It all started on 2nd October, all citizens believing in the power of RTI met up and brainstormed how we could celebrate the anniversary of RTI.


We all, Bangaloreans met on weekends with common thread of RTI as a powerful tool, some weeks ago,

Our efforts of spreading RTI Awareness, with 2 years of its completion, has been pretty eventful so far.

Our efforts of our hard work, are seeing positive results on Radio.
  1. Vikram Simha on Radio Mirchi-8 am to 10 am
  2. Anil Kumar and Kathyayini Chamaraj took part in a programme on RTI on FM Rainbow from 1.00 PM to 2.00 PM called Lunch Box today
  3. Navendu on Radio City- 10.45 to 11 am.

"It has been a good start"-Aswini

Bangalore Mirror published a special series on RTI as well, i believe other newspapers (Times, Hindu, Herald) also had some articles with interviews of success stories.

NDTV and CNN IBN had special stories on RTI as well. Watch out IBN for more on the real birth of citizen journalist.

Its been a great start, thanks to all you, we have to know build on the momentum, and try making the radio program a weekly or fortnight one, looking at the response today.

Special thanks to Vikram Simha, Col Mathew, Kathyayini, Aswini, Dr. Ravi Rao family, Vineeta, Sameer, Shobha, supreme energy and the all of you who gave direction, motivation and support.

Its just the beginning,

Jai Hind
Navendu Shirali
