National Information Commission (NIC) was established as an independent body as per the provisions of the Right to Information (RTI) Act in 2008 for the protection, promotion and practice of right to information. However, implementation of the right to information, whether pursuant to the direct constitutional guarantee or the RTI Act remained extremely weak. In this context FDM conducted several rounds of consultation with NIC representatives, media personnel, human right activists and civil society members to formulate a National Strategic Plan of Action.
