Rw: First of all please accept our gratitude for allowing us to have an exclusive interview<\/em> our Idol Shri Shailesh Gandhi, who is also our constant source of inspiration and information, too! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n SG: It is my pleasure to share my thoughts.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Rw: Hardly there’s any RTI Activist, Journalist or Politician in India who don’t know about best CIC India ever had so far. But for the future brigade of Corruption crusaders and journalists, we request you give a brief introduction of yours.<\/span><\/p>\n SG: I am a first generation entrepreneur and a Distinguished Alumnus <\/span>Awardee of IIT Bombay. I sold my company to become <\/span>an RTI activist in 2003 and was part of the National RTI movement which was involved in drafting the National Act. I was the <\/span>convener of the National Campaign for People\u2019s Right To Information (NCPRI)<\/a>. I used RTI and also trained many citizens and government officials in over 1000 workshops to use it. I gave many landmark decisions on RTI, apart from organizing the first digital paper-less office in the Commission. I am passionately pursuing the cause of evolving ways for a time bound justice delivery <\/span>system and improving governance systems. I have published a book: RTI Act- authentic interpretation of the Statute and a paper critiquing Supreme Court judgments on RTI. These are available at www.satymevajayate.info website.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Rw: So Sir, What should we call you? An IITian, An Entrepreneur, Former CIC or a prominent Corruption Crusader and Social Activist?<\/span><\/p>\n SG: Citizen empowered by RTI.<\/span><\/p>\n
