Explanation:

India’s national Right to Information Act (RTI) was approved by Parliament in May 2005 and came into force in October 2005. It has been described as “the most exciting experiment with FOIA-style laws in the world today – not only because of the number of people whose well-being could be improved, but also because it is being conducted under much more difficult circumstances than those prevailing in the early-adopter nations”.In 2002 a watered down version of the NCPRI’s proposed bill was introduced in Parliament. Whilst the bill was signed in 2003, it was never enforced simply because no date for its enforcement was ever set.During this period, nine states passed their own RTI laws.
