Section 26 - Appropriate Government to prepare programmes

Right to Information programmes: Government to develop public education, guides, and training to facilitate access rights.

The appropriate Government may, within available resources, develop programmes to educate the public-especially disadvantaged communities-about exercising rights under the Right to Information Act, encourage public authority participation, disseminate accurate information, and train Public Information Officers. The appropriate Government must compile and publish an easily comprehensible guide in its official language and update it regularly; the guide must include the Act's objects, contact details for Public Information Officers, request procedures, duties and assistance, remedies and appeal procedures, voluntary disclosure provisions, fee notices, and related regulations.
