"We gauged that though people understand the importance of RTI, it is not widely known how to go about it, what are the technicalities, how to frame the questions, how and where to make further appeals and much more," a senior university official said.
"That is why we decided to introduced the course and approached CIC for their support in content generation and other similar issues," he added.
The Faculty of Public Administration at IGNOU's School of Social Sciences and the CIC team are trying to come up with ideas related to content and curriculum of the course.
