Capacity Building Workshop for Civil Society Oganisations on the Right To
CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP FOR CIVIL SOCIETY OGANISATIONS ON THE RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT, 2005 21-22 May Gram Vikas Parishad, Madhubani, Bihar WORKSHOP REPORT Workshop report prepared by: Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) “This document is an output from a project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) for the benefit of developing countries. The views expressed are not necessarily those of DFID.” Supported By: Department for International Development Management Consultants Development Alternatives- PricewaterhouseCoopers (P) Ltd. Background From 12 October 2005, the Right to Information Act (RTI Act), 2005 became fully operational across India. The Act provides people in India the right to access government-held information and requires systems to be set up for ensuring transparent and accountable government. The Act covers ‘public authorities’ at the national, state and local levels – duty holders who have obligations to deal with citizens’ information needs. The Act includes institutions of self government such as Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and municipalities within the definition of the term ‘public authorities’. The purpose of the Act is to create an informed citizenry capable of participating in the decision-making processes of government at all levels. A concomitant objective of this law is to empower people to hold government and its instrumentalities accountable to their decisions and actions. Participation in the absence of information about the policies, programmes and processes of decision making is next to the impossible. In this context, the right to information becomes a key tool for ensuring that public authorities more effectively meet their goal of promoting participation and entrenching accountable government at the grassroots level. -

Madhubani Introduction
DISTRICT PROFILE MADHUBANI INTRODUCTION Madhubani district is one of the thirty-eight administrative districts of Bihar. Formerly the northern sub-division of the erstwhile Darbhanga district, Madhubani was notified as a district in 1972. Madhubani district is a part of Darbhanga division. Madhubani is the cultural heart of Mithilanchal, being the birthplace of many literary people and home to Madhubani paintings . Madhubani has maintained a distinct individuality of its own. Madhubani is bounded in the north by the hilly region of Nepal, and districts of Darbhanga, Sitamarhi and Supaul in south , west and east respectively. The rivers that flow near Madhubani are Kosi river, Kamla Balan, Bhutahi Balan, Adhwara, Kareh, Gehuan, Supen, Trishula, Jeevachh, Bachharaja, Dhous and Ghaghr. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The name Madhubani is derived from the word "Madhuban" meaning “ forest of honey". Also, the word Madhubani is got by joining the words "madhu" and "vaani", meaning "sweet voice/language". There are no pre-historic sites in Madhubani though remains of the earliest aboriginal population known as the Tharus, Bhars, Kiratas, etc., can be seen here. They wielded power in Madhubani region prior to its Aryanisation and Shiva worship was in vogue. The kingdom of Videha, ruled by a successive line of kings known as Janakas, included Madhubani. The royalty and nobility- although the vanguard of Aryan culture, took to worshipping Shiva in consonance with the faith of their subjects. According to Mahabharata tradition, the Pandavas during their exile stayed in the region of Madhubani district. Bimbisar, the founder of the Magadhan empire, and his son Ajatshatru aspired to rule over the whole of Aryan land.
