LUCKNOW: The RTI applicants who make several rounds of the state
information commission to obtain the copy of the orders pertaining to
their RTI applications will heave a sigh of relief. The Uttar Pradesh
State Information Commission (UPSIC) has finally started uploading its
orders on the website. Applicants can log on to the commission's
website (upsic.up.nic.in) and get the orders downloaded.
The applicants can do it from their respective districts. Officials at
the commission shared that orders are being uploaded on a daily basis,
as soon as the copy of the judgment is made available to the online
department.The commission is also planning to upload the orders passed
in the past. "But that will take sometime," said officials. The
digitalisation of records at the commission was a long-pending move.
There were growing complaints that applicants were being harassed by
the staff of the commission when they sought the copy of the orders.
The online data will cut down the complaints.The commission had got
central funds to make its data available online, last financial year.
In response to an RTI query, the department of Personnel and Training
(DoPT), New Delhi, said it had allocated Rs 21 lakh to the commission
for digitalisation.
The commission had got funds, in the past as well, to make most of its
functioning online. However, the commission could only upload the
information about upcoming cases for hearing, in all these years, to
inform the applicants.The UPSIC will enter its seventh year of
functioning on March 22, 2012. And, it still does not have compiled
data on number of orders passed by different information
commissioners. The digitalisation of records can make it possible.
