    Introduction: RTI and Welfare Schemes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    India runs hundreds of welfare schemes<\/strong> \u2013 from MGNREGA, PM Kisan, Pension Yojanas<\/a>, Scholarships, Housing, Ration, to Health Benefits<\/strong>. These programs are meant for the poor and vulnerable. But often funds don\u2019t reach the actual beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here, the RTI Act 2005<\/strong> becomes a crucial tool for accountability.
    With RTI, any RTI applicant<\/strong> can demand official records about beneficiaries, funds released, and expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    RTIwala<\/strong> helps citizens draft and file online RTI<\/a><\/strong> applications so they can hold authorities accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
