Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

The National Campaign for Peoples’ Right to Information is organizing its fourth national convention in Hyderabad from 16^th to 18^th of February 2013, to celebrate and document seven years of the use of the Right to Information law.

 

In the NCPRI Shillong convention held in March 2011, it was decided that there will be a reorganization of the NCPRI. The 16th will be a day for NCPRI members to bring the new structure into effect. The 17th will be an open meeting on transparency, accountability and the working of the Right to Information law, where we plan to also invite people from Government, information commissions and others who might not be a part of NCPRI.  The convention (and deliberations on the 17th) will also provide an opportunity to discuss the progress made on the declaration of the Shillong convention.

 

We are writing to you, even though you might not be a member of this campaign, to attend the sessions on the 16^th and 17^th. Due to your interest in transparency and accountability issues, we appeal to you to be part of designing this new structure and then playing an active role in the NCPRI.

 

A detailed note (for pre convention discussions) with some points to consider for the new structure of the NCPRI will follow with other logistic details.

 

The following is the tentative agenda for the 16^th to 18^th of February 2013:

 

16^th February – Internal organisation meeting of the NCPRI: We hope that 150- 200 NCPRI Members, including new members drawn from active RTI users and activists in different campaigns will come together to discuss and mandate an organizational structure of the NCPRI which will enable it to effectively function as a decentralized nationwide platform.

 

17^th February – Discussion on the Shillong Declaration, RTI Act and manifestations of transparency and accountability : RTI users from across the country, law makers, information commissioners and bureaucrats will be invited to discuss the use and working of the RTI. Various experiences of using the law by groups across the country will be shared and the challenges regarding implementation of the Act will be discussed. Issues related to appointment of information commissioners, section 4 of the RTI Act and RTI rules will also be discussed. There are several campaigns and sangathans that are using the RTI law to ensure transparency and accountability into governance structures. These campaigns will share their work on different issues such as conducting social audits under NREGA, ensuring transparency in the functioning of elected representatives including utilization of local area development funds of Members of Parliament and Legislative Assemblies, transparent processes written into laws such as the Land Acquisition Act etc. Simultaneous workshops conducted by experts in these different areas will be organized. Proactive disclosures under section 4 of the RTI Act through various means including the internet, boards, wall painting, publications etc. will also be discussed. In addition, there will be a session to discuss the progress made on the declaration of the 2011 Shillong convention.

 

 18^th February–Visit to various sites organized by the Society of Social Audit and Transparency in Hyderabad (OPTIONAL): SSAAT could facilitate a field visit for participants to witness the power and potential of a social audit process. This will provide an opportunity to understand and witness the status and potential of the wide ranging effects of the Right to Information law in various spheres of Governance. This is an optional visit and we request you to kindly let us know if you will attend the visit as arrangements for transportation have to be made accordingly.

 

This is a preliminary letter of invitation asking you to block these dates and to plan your travel.

As you know, the NCPRI runs on individual donations by supporters of the campaign.  This convention is also being organized with the help of contributions in cash and kind by various people and organizations. If you require travel reimbursements do let us know, we will be able to reimburse only sleeper class train fares. We have organized basic shared accommodation for participants.

 

We hope to hear from you about numbers of participants as soon as possible. You will get a confirmation email as soon as we receive your email. Our list of contact addresses and telephone numbers are given below.

 

 

Yours Sincerely,

Warm Regards,

 

Nikhil Dey, Anjali Bhardwaj, Venkatesh Nayak, Ramakrishna Raju, Angela Rangad

तुम कितनी ही कोशिश कर लो, 
तोड़ न पाओगे इस बार, 
मेरे हौंसलो की उड़ान, 
खोने न दूंगी खुद को 
अपने काम को नया काम
 नया आयाम दूंगी
 और दूंगी एक नई पहचान
 अपनी आत्मा को
 जो मुझसे शुरू होकर
 ख़त्म होगी मुझी में
