Dear Sir, 1)Is it sufficient (and Constitutional) to only disseminate section 4 information in local languages ? Certainly Not. But atleast GAD Maharashtra issued some Circulars. I believe, Entry in Erring PIOs Conf Report is important. 2) DoPTs' Circular No 1/12/2008-IR 23.6.2008 on Section 4 Compliance talks only only preparation of slide shows, short films, RTI Schools, & e learning ( will share shortly being circulated only to Chief Secretaries ).
3) CPIO & Appl Auty (CIC) : No Reply in furnishing Section 4 Circulars by CIC since 2005? regards vihar From: sarbajit roy <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [rti_india] Circulars 1) Flouting RTI Attract Entry in Confidential Report 2) PMC Property Decln 3) Authors Names with Updates To: [email protected] Date: Monday, 3 August, 2009, 11:15 AM Dear Vihar / Group Notwithstanding that my own Marathi is a little rusty (Class 2 to Class 8, but 20 years then spent outside Mumbai) your post raises the question of 4(4) "All materials shall be disseminated taking into consideration the cost effectiveness, local language and the most effective method of communication in that local area and the information should be easily accessible, to the extent possible in electronic format with the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, available free or at such cost of the medium or the print cost price as may be prescribed. Explanation.—For the purposes of sub-sections (3) and (4), "disseminated" means making known or communicated the information to the public through notice boards, newspapers, public announcements, media broadcasts, the internet or any other means, including inspection of offices of any public authority."
