The Legal Aid Society
of Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi had organized a legal awareness camp
with RTI as its theme at Vishwavidyala Metro Station on 26th October
2012.
The zeal of holding such
a camp lured the volunteers to come up with an innovative idea- they summarized
various rules and provisions given under RTI Act and the procedure involved (ranging
from filing the first application to first appeal) in a flowchart form so as it
to make it easy for a layman. Such an idea was executed on a pamphlet and
copies of the same were distributed in an around the metro station premises.
It was indeed an exciting
experience where volunteers not only got the opportunity to hone to their legal
skills and education but also develop their public speaking skills by
addressing various queries varying from
filing the first application to filing a wrong application to an authority.
Apart from that, we
also welcomed a few criticisms from several quarters as well-the prime being
that such an information should not be confined to English. Though it was a
first time experience as far as executing the idea of organizing such a camp is
concerned, we welcome such a criticism and ensure to incorporate the
information in Hindi as well so as maximum people could avail benefit hereof.
