PMO has No information about Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojna In the series of revelations which are coming out about the various poster and political marketing oriented schemes of the present NDA government, a serious and shocking disclosure came out in a reply to an RTI application filed by a Patiala based RTI Activist Kawaldeep Singh that Prime Minister Office does not know anything about one of the well publicized pet project of this government Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojna which was launched by the Prime Minister himself and was initiated under the name of his office and is projected as one of the biggest development endeavor of this government for the rural India. Prof. Kawaldeep Singh had filed an RTI Application with Prime Minister Office to know the details of the funds allocated, utilized and all the details of the work done under this scheme to find out the reality of this so marketed project of the new government. However the Prime Minister Office in a reply to same transferred his application to the Ministry of Rural Development under the provisions of 6(3) (ii) of the RTI Act, 2005. It is to be noted that these provisions of RTI Act are only invoked when the original Public Information Officer to which RTI application so filed at first admits that there is no information available in his office in regard to the questions so asked in the same. Therefore, it revealed that the office of the Prime Minister, who won the last election only on the agenda of development, has no knowledge at all on the ground work that is been done in a so publicized scheme of the center government and that too under the name of his office. - June 26, 2015 at 01:34PM
