Translation of RTI Act to Konkani - An appreciable venture by Bandora Free Legal Aid Cell



This year as part of their legal aid activity, Bandora Free Legal Aid Cell of v.M.Salgaocar College of Law decide to translate RTI Act into Konkani. The free flow of information is a must for a democratic society as it helps the society to grow and to retain a continuous debate and discussion among the people. No democratic government can survive without accountability and the basic postulate of accountability that is the people should have information about the functioning of the government. The Right to Information Act, 2005 was passed for making the government transparent and more accountable; the effective use of it would, in a long run, curb corruption. But when Bandora Cell members researched in this respect they found that there was no translation of this Act in state language and it acted as a barrier in reaching out to more people. Hence the project to translate this important legislation into Konkani and thereby make it easily accessible to all and fill in the gaps as to the benefits of legislation reaching out to people of Goa. We are also working towards getting it published from Government of Goa. Members of Bandora Legal Aid Cell have translated this act with the help of language experts.
