The recent news in Informatics about the Right to Information Act, 2005 titled – “Right to Information: Step towards Transparent Governance” made an interesting read. The logic and the essential purpose to provide transparency in the governance systems of a country cannot be faulted. The key challenge here would be to constantly monitor the efficacies of the law subsequent to its implementation. If it just remains a new and fancy word the sensibility of the whole exercise will stand diluted. On the contrary, if it were able to enhance transparency by even a few percentage points, it would be a great achievement. The technology update section on ‘Open Source Open Standards’ provided valuable insight into the Java Technology, PostGreSQL, XML & VRML. I like reading the ‘Happenings Section’ that keeps us informed on the various e-Gov initiatives in different parts of the country & would like to extend my thanks to the entire team of Informatics for keeping us abreast with latest news & technologies.
