B'lore gets India's 1st 'RTI bank'
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Belur is putting together a library of documents collected by various NGOs under RTI to make life easier for the Bangaloreans. He calls it the RTI Bank.
âWhen information is collected and shared, it's optimally used. People need not approach the public authorities for the same information again. It amounts to duplication,â says Belur.
While documents from the BMP are the first to be put together in this RTI bank, Belur has also started web-based discussion groups to network NGOs for this initiative.
