\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nRead the paragraph under the heading \u2018Need for Information to Fight Corruption\u2019 and answer the following:
\nObserve any of the government programme and make a report of its implementation in your area.
\nAnswer:
\nIn our area the government is giving pensions to the old people and handicapped. They give Rs. 200\/- to the old and Rs. 500\/- to the handicapped every month. They release these funds for every 2 or 3 months once. These pensions are given to the beneficiaries through the employs of local bodies.<\/p>\n

They select one place to hand over these pensions. Everyone should reach there in prescribed time. There may be 400 to 500 beneficiaries in that centre. They should stand in a line for hours together and sometimes two or three days also. How pity this is ! We feel so sad for this. Why don\u2019t the government send the pensions directly to their homes or to their accounts ? In this connection we request the government and its officials to view this issue in humanitarian grounds.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nCollect a few success stories with regarding to Right To Information Act (RTI) from the newspapers and tell them in your class.
\nAnswer:
\nStory – 1:
\nA 70 year old lady Laxmi, lost her son Anoop Singh in Delhi road accident. He was a traffic constable there. His wife was given his pension. Later she remarried some other person. Laxmi was left as an orphan. She used this RTI Act to gain access to files regarding the pension and other benefits of her son.
\nStory – 2:
\nKshetramai of Bhuvaneswar bought a small piece of land and got it registered. But the clerk in the Sub Registrar Office did not hand over the documents to her for 11\/2 years.
\nShe complained in the camp of RTI Act. She got her documents within hours on the same day.
\nStory – 3:
\nAashiyana, a thirteen year old Lucknow girl, had got raped by a gang of 6 boys. They gave a compalint in a police station. The prime accused showed an evidence that he was a minor at that time and went for a trial in a Juvenile Court. Then Aashiyana father Sabruddin has filed an application at District Magistrate Office under RTI Act. He has sought information that he was a major at the time of incident. Even though it was late, it was a success.
\nStory – 4:
\nRTI brought ban on dark film in motor cars. Use of films or any other material upon the wind screen or the side windows is impermissible in law w.e.f 4.5.2012.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nRTE is a boon to the children. Explain.
\nAnswer:
\nRTE law declares that all children of the age of 6 to 14 years have the right to free education and the state has to ensure building of sufficient schools in the neighbourhood of all children, appoint properly qualified teachers and make all necessary provisions. It also declares that the education should ensure all round development of the children, learning through activities, discovery and exploration and child friendly manner. It also states that children should be taught in their mother tongue and they should be free of fear, trauma and anxiety and be able to express their views freely.<\/p>\n

In case free neighbourhood schools are not available, in case sufficient number of teachers are not available in the schools, or sufficient teaching learning materials are not available, or if a child is beaten or terrorised, or forced to study in unfriendly manner, such children can complain to the courts against the authorities. So it is a boon to the children.<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nDo you need any more rights? Why?
\nAnswer:
\nAfter going through this lesson, I came to understand that rights have responsibilities. My country is fulfilling my needs. So I do not need any more rights. I try to safeguard the existing rights.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nWhat information would you ask your Headmaster according to Right to Information Act?
\nAnswer:
\nI ask the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Strength of the school<\/li>\n
  2. Staff particulars<\/li>\n
  3. Syllabus and teaching-related issues etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 7.
    \nHow can you say that the Right to Information Act helps to face the corruption?
    \nAnswer:
    \nRight to Information laws, or “Sunshine” laws as they are commonly called grant citizens the legal right to access information held by their governments, bringing much-needed transparency in the otherwise opaque functioning of government.<\/p>\n

    The law is increasingly being used to tackle high profile corruption also. The transparency will automatically limit the abuse of discretion, and thus acts as the check on corruption in any regime. So I can say that the Right to Information Act helps to face corruption.<\/p>\n

    \"AP<\/p>\n

    Question 1.

      All these should be decided and should be mentioned in a book. They should record the figures of coolies, their wages etc. The owner of the construction observes these things and the construction.

      \ne) Whose duty is it to ensure that Pavan and his mother are able to live a life of dignity
      \nand freedom? (Textbook Page No. 204)
      \nAnswer:
      \na) The persons, who do not participate in illegal and immoral works are able to live with dignity.
      \nPavan\u2019s mother is working hard in some others\u2019 house. It is dignified. But I think Pavan\u2019s begging is not correct and dignified.
      \nb) \u201cWork hard – Lead the life\u201d.
      \nThis only gives them a life with dignity.
      \nc) Any higher official or employee should bend their head before their authorities. They should follow the rules and regulations. But they are not free to do what they want.

            Question 7.
            \nWhy do you think the word \u2018independent\u2019 is important in the context of State Information Commission? (Page – 208)
            \nAnswer:
            \nIf the State Information Commission has relations with the Legislature or the Executive it cannot question or control the corruption. It cannot provide the information to the people. So it should be \u2018independent\u2019. So the word is important.<\/p>\n
