The correct answer is Option 1: Rural Rajasthan NCERT: "Among the most significant recent initiatives is the campaign for the Right to Information. Beginning with an agitation in rural Rajasthan for the release of information on government funds spent on village development, this effort grew into a nation-wide campaign. Despite the resistance of the bureaucracy, the government was forced to respond to the campaign and pass a new law formally acknowledging the citizens’ right to information. Examples of this sort illustrate the crucial importance of civil society in ensuring that the state is accountable to the nation and its people." |
