About the portal

It has been developed with an objective to provide single point access to all information and services mandatory under the RTI Act, 2005 in respect of all Public Authorities/ Government Offices/ Autonomous Bodies under Government of Odisha.

This portal provides comprehensive, accurate, and authentic information on implementation of RTI Act, 2005 in the system of governance in Odisha.

The request can be received physically, transferred from other Public authority or can received online.
