Abstract

Right to Information can be used to undertake social audit of govt. processes, programmes and schemes i.e., National Rural Employment Guarantee Schemes, Public Distribution Scheme, Integrated Child Development Services, Primary Health Services, Primary Education. Good Governance is an essential ingredient for socio-economic development of the country. The govt. of India and state govt. come out with new ideas and approaches but these don't succeed when put to action because of lack of good governance. Good governance is a paramount importance in these times so far reaching changes. In this backdrop of major changes, we need to re-orient ourselves to deliver ways and means to promote good governance. No government of course can hope to survive without strong and effective good governance nor can an administrative system exist without the support of those was established to serve. The Judiciary also justified the role of Information in protecting the human rights and promotion of good governance.
