Right to Information (RTI) at KES Shroff College
At KES Shroff College, we are committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in our functioning. As part of our dedication to upholding the principles of openness and responsiveness, we fully adhere to the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, which empowers citizens to access information from public authorities.
The RTI Act aims to promote transparency, accountability, and responsiveness in the functioning of public institutions and authorities, ensuring that individuals have the right to seek information about governmental activities, policies, and decisions.
Key Features of RTI at KES Shroff College:
- Right to Access Information
As an institution recognized under the RTI Act, KES Shroff College ensures that all individuals have the right to seek information regarding the college’s operations, financial matters, policies, and other public records maintained by the institution. - How to Request Information
To request information, any individual can submit an RTI application to the designated Public Information Officer (PIO) at the college. The application should be clear and specific about the information being sought. The PIO will guide the applicant through the process and ensure that the requested information is provided within the statutory time frame. - Transparency in Processes
We are committed to making key documents and policies easily accessible to students, faculty, and the public, ensuring that everyone has access to relevant data about the college’s academic, administrative, and financial activities. - Exemptions
The Right to Information Act provides certain exemptions where information cannot be disclosed, including matters that may affect the sovereignty, security, or relations with foreign countries, as well as personal privacy. The PIO will evaluate requests based on these criteria and provide responses accordingly. - Appeal Mechanism
If an applicant is dissatisfied with the response provided or if the information is not provided within the stipulated time, they can appeal to the higher authorities within the institution. The college follows the prescribed appeal process to ensure that all concerns are resolved in a fair and timely manner.
KES Shroff College remains dedicated to upholding the values of integrity and transparency. We believe that the Right to Information Act is a valuable tool for fostering a culture of openness, ensuring that our stakeholders remain informed and engaged with the functioning of the institution.
