The biggest challenge is to promote 'institutional transparency', newly-appointed chief information commissioner (CIC) A N Tiwari said on Thursday.

Tiwari, who will be sworn in as head of the Central Information Commission by President Pratibha Patil on Friday, said that the Right to Information (RTI) should not be the only recourse for transparency and that public authorities should proactively disclose information.

"Section 19 and 25 of the RTI, which empower the Commission to advise institutions on transparency-related functions, have been used sparingly so far. I hope that in the short time that I am CIC we will be able to bring a mindset change," he said.

Tiwari also expressed concern on the issue of pendency adding the Commission was looking for "specific ways" to tackle those appeals that had been pending before it for six months to a year.

Tiwari, who will be succeeding Wajahat Habibullah, is expected to retire in December 2010.
