&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;How a cluster of villages in Rajasthan embraced transparency, spurred a nationwide movement and inspired the birth of a digital portal to counter the dilution of the RTI&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The walls were painted a bright yellow. Drawn on them in black were statements of income and expenditure, breaking down figures in meticulous detail with rows and columns stretching across two and sometimes three floors. The paintings weren&amp;rsquo;t just on the panchayat office walls but even adorned the compound walls of homes, schools and local markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was 10 years ago when I first visited the Vijaypura gram panchayat &amp;mdash; a clutch of nine villages in Rajsammand district. Some 280km from Jaipur, it then had a population of 5,000 or so. A cub reporter, I was looking at what had changed in the villages of Rajasthan four years after the Right to Information (RTI) Act was passed in Parliament in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At Vijaypura, the change was evident. The walls revealed everything that was in the public domain &amp;mdash; the days of labour allotted to each family member under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), what they paid in the muster rolls issued by the labour ministry, the number of houses built under the Indira Awaas Yojana (now the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana or PMGAY), public works the panchayat had undertaken, what sort of construction material was purchased for these projects and more. The walls were whitewashed every year and adorned afresh with financial art that reflected a new year&amp;rsquo;s income and expenditure.&lt;/p&gt;

Drawn on them in black were statements of income and expenditure, breaking down figures in meticulous detail with rows and columns stretching across two and sometimes three floors. The paintings weren&amp;rsquo;t just on the panchayat office walls but even adorned the compound walls of homes, schools and local markets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was 10 years ago when I first visited the Vijaypura gram panchayat &amp;mdash; a clutch of nine villages in Rajsammand district. Some 280km from Jaipur, it then had a population of 5,000 or so. A cub reporter, I was looking at what had changed in the villages of Rajasthan four years after the Right to Information (RTI) Act was passed in Parliament in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At Vijaypura, the change was evident. The walls revealed everything that was in the public domain &amp;mdash; the days of labour allotted to each family member under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), what they paid in the muster rolls issued by the labour ministry, the number of houses built under the Indira Awaas Yojana (now the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana or PMGAY), public works the panchayat had undertaken, what sort of construction material was purchased for these projects and more. The walls were whitewashed every year and adorned afresh with financial art that reflected a new year&amp;rsquo;s income and expenditure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/know/how-the-rti-journey-leaped-boundaries-from-rural-to-digital/article28793351.ece?fbclid=IwAR2LNqBwBvYpqpp9IJNuFhTeLTToDOqvOc3mKc3hhJ3UE6CaVMukRNHiz20&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/blink/know/how-the-rti-journey-leaped-boundaries-from-rural-to-digital/article28793351.ece?fbclid=IwAR2LNqBwBvYpqpp9IJNuFhTeLTToDOqvOc3mKc3hhJ3UE6CaVMukRNHiz20&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;How a cluster of villages in Rajasthan embraced transparency, spurred a nationwide movement and inspired the birth of a digital portal to counter the dilution of the RTI&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The walls were painted a bright yellow. Drawn on them in black were statements of income and expenditure, breaking down figures in meticulous detail with rows and columns stretching across two and sometimes three floors. The paintings weren&amp;rsquo;t just on the panchayat office walls but even adorned the compound walls of homes, schools and local markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It was 10 years ago when I first visited the Vijaypura gram panchayat &amp;mdash; a clutch of nine villages in Rajsammand district. Some 280km from Jaipur, it then had a population of 5,000 or so. A cub reporter, I was looking at what had changed in the villages of Rajasthan four years after the Right to Information (RTI) Act was passed in Parliament in 2005.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;At Vijaypura, the change was evident. The walls revealed everything that was in the public domain &amp;mdash; the days of labour allotted to each family member under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), what they paid in the muster rolls issued by the labour ministry, the number of houses built under the Indira Awaas Yojana (now the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana or PMGAY), public works the panchayat had undertaken, what sort of construction material was purchased for these projects and more. The walls were whitewashed every year and adorned afresh with financial art that reflected a new year&amp;rsquo;s income and expenditure.&lt;/p&gt;
