`RTI on Wheels', a state-of-the-art mobile van has completed one year of its successful functioning. It was launched last year by the Gujarat State Information Commission, Sardar Patel Institute of Public Administration (SPIPA) and Mahiti Adhikar Gujarat Pahel (MAGP).

`RTI on Wheels' was specifically designed to spread awareness about the Right to Information (RTI) in far-flung areas. The van has various facilities like audio visual aids and internet for organizing video shows and discussions. It also helped people to draft applications, appeals and complaints.

RTI on wheels' has spread among 80,000 people in 450 villages and 13 cities in last one year.

Pankti Jog, a co-ordinator with MAGP, said: "We have a team of trained volunteers who guide people on queries about RTI. Our core team of volunteers consists of people who used to come to our organisation seeking RTI to address their issues. When queries cannot be solved through phone, we hold the Saturday Legal Clinic from
4 pm to 6 pm every Saturday, where a team of resource persons attends to the queries voluntarily. The clinic has attended 312 cases till date."
