CIC Orders Public Disclosure of NITI Aayog Women Safety Reports
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has said that reports made by NITI Aayog about women safety schemes should be made public.
These reports check how well the schemes are working.
The CIC said these reports are independent and based on evidence, and should be shared with the public to make things more transparent.
The Ministry of Women and Child Development was also told to share more information about the companies working on these schemes, like how much money they got and how much work they have done.
This will help people know more and make the government more accountable.
CIC orders public disclosure of NITI Aayog's evaluation reports on women safety schemes.
Reports assess the implementation and effectiveness of schemes like One-Stop Centre and Women Helpline.
CIC upholds MWCD's stance on not disclosing 1,870 pages of internal file notings due to resource diversion.
MWCD advised to disclose details of successful bidders, contract amounts, completion dates, and work progress on their website.
Proactive disclosure aimed at enhancing transparency, public awareness, and accountability.
