Report card on RTI compliance of states: A report published by Centre for Civil Society (CCS), a Delhi-based think tank, found that three-fourth of the states and the Union Territories do not provide even half the information they are obliged to under Section 4 of the RTI Act. This survey looked at the websites of the education ministries of 27 states and 7 union territories, and looked for 37 key points of information required by the RTI Act. The Duty to Publish Index: Report card on RTI compliance of states published by CCS on OCT'2006 ( one year after the RTI came into force) shows that on an average the state provides less than a third of the information required. Madhya Pradesh and Uttaranchal earned the distinction of being the most accessible providing 87 and 76 per cent of the required information, respectively while Assam, Jharkhand and Sikkim are among the states lying at the bottom. ( providing 0% of the required information)(at the time of survey in Oct'2006)
