NCPRI Convention on the RTI
The National Campaign for People's Right to Information is holding an
RTI Convention in Hyderabad from 30th November to 2nd December. Here
is the invitation received from the NCPRI.
_________________________
On behalf of NCPRI, we would like to invite you to participate in the
RTI Convention to be held in Hyderabad from November 30-December 2,
2009.
The first day of the convention has a focus on Youth, RTI and
Democracy. In the following two days, 1st and 2nd December the
Southern regional convention on the RTI will begin with plenaries and
thematic workshops conducted by experts to discuss more closely the
utility and relevance of RTI with regard to cases of human rights,
employment, politics, environment and so on; as well as share
experiences. The Hyderabad Central University has kindly offered its
premises for the occasion.
The Convention will be a great opportunity for all of us to share our
experiences on the Right to Information. Since representatives of
various campaigns and groups working on the RTI from across the
country will participate in this Convention, it will also work as a
platform for all of us to network with like-minded groups and
individuals and take our work forward. In the past year, the issue of
amendments to the RTI Act has cropped up time and again. Lately, the
'rumours' have taken more definite shape with both the President and
the Prime Minister declaring their intent to bring in amendments. We
look upon this meet as an opportunity to also develop concrete
strategies to oppose any change to the RTI legislation. We hope you
and representatives from your campaign, group and or organisation can
join us for the Convention.
