 +===== Shrawan =====
 +
 +Shrawan is the editor of RTI Wiki. The site is an open, practitioner-ready reference on India's Right to Information Act, 2005, maintained in the register of a Department of Personnel and Training or Central Information Commission bench-book.
 +
 +**Credentials and background.** Public-policy research on access-to-information law since 2011. Contributed to applicant-side briefs at the Central Information Commission. Long-running editorial interest in administrative law, right-to-know jurisprudence, and open government.
 +
 +**Editorial focus.** Legislative changes to the RTI Act and allied rules, Supreme Court and High Court decisions on access-to-information, Information Commission practice, and the interplay with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (in force 14 November 2025).
 +
 +===== Editorial principles =====
 +
 +  - **Current.** Every page carries a "Last reviewed on" line. Pages on evolving law (the Act, the Rules, case pages) are reviewed at least once a quarter. Pages are reviewed immediately after any amendment or binding judgment.
 +  - **Sourced.** Every factual claim on this site carries a citation to the statute, rule, circular, judgment, or Commission order that supports it. Case citations use the standard form ((2013) 1 SCC 212, etc.) and link to the on-site case page or a verified reporter.
 +  - **Usable.** Every guide closes with a template, a checklist, or a specific next step. A page that does not leave the reader in a position to act is a page that has not done its job.
 +  - **Neutral.** Third-person, British-Indian spelling. The site is not a law firm. No legal advice is offered. Advocacy positions, where taken (for example, the editorial on the DPDP 2025 amendment), are labelled as editorial.
 +  - **Transparent on mistakes.** Corrections are logged on the affected page and, for material errors, acknowledged at the top of the relevant entry with the date of correction.
 +
 +===== Review cycle =====
 +
 +  * **Daily.** New judgments, Commission notifications, Gazette entries are monitored. Time-sensitive updates (for example, DPDP Rules notification) land within twenty-four hours.
 +  * **Weekly.** A rolling audit of the ten most-viewed pages against current law.
 +  * **Quarterly.** A full namespace audit (act, rules, guide, important-decisions, templates).
 +  * **Annual.** A complete restatement of the top-level guides.
 +
 +===== Contact =====
 +
 +Editorial contact and corrections: through the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/feedback.php|feedback widget]] at the bottom of any page, the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/bookmarks.php|saved-articles page]] (logged-in users), or by email to the publisher at **ad@bighelpers.in**.
