Rupavahini as a tool for RTI
We talk about RTI at a time when the ordinary man uses a white paper as a Post Card to communicate his message due to his inability to purchase his Post Card from the Post Office. National Rupavahini had remained in the hands of defence all the time since its inception.this has helped other private media electronic institutions including the social media to grow and disseminate balanced news and views. It may transform its role like Dhuradarshan of India, to serve the State and play its identity as a news carrier to the public with the prime objective of giving balance news to the viewer. It can reduce the non academic dissemination of arts and drama, and focus on disseminating distant education programmes like in India to irradiate ignorance in a huge provincial audience.the disabled Child would no more fear facing the Sward of Democels for a closer of his school due to absenteeism and his curriculum in the Year of Technology, will bring his lessons to his doorstep.these are some improvements anticipated when the National Electronic media is in the hands of Defence.the RTI which had no meaning in the private newspaper industry as well as in the State owned television network, will have to turn the tables in the interest of the viewer. It is further important to deal sensitive intelligence areas in a heterogeneous society such as ours, because news is life and as a matter of fact a subject for Defence. Some print newspaper journals boast of RTI, but they do not allocate reasonable space for the reading public to contribute opinion or analyze news and articles as the case may be.
