Keeping in mind the maxim “Information is Power”, the handbook 'Right to Information for PWD' (made by Sakshi Trust & ActionAid India) intends to place power in the hands of Persons with Disability.

This book intends to provide a stepwise guide on drafting an RTI application in the context of disability. However, the book has been especially designed for use by NGO’s, parents of disabled children, caregivers, students or any concerned individual in the Disability. It contains a detailed background on the different benefits that a disabled person is entitled to from the government. The main topics covered are disability certification, education, employment, public access, poverty alleviation schemes, assistive devices and complaint process and as such will be useful to any one seeking general information as well.

A ready to use list of applications have been pre-formatted and drafted and one can use this to seek information from any State or central office. Also included is a brief study and some RTI applications for your reference so that you may seek relevant information in an effort to facilitate a more transparent and a accountable system of governance.
