Paragraphs on ICT and education, aid and development
Open access libraries have existed for long and while access to
larger collections helped with research, encyclopedias and archives
helped with fact checking and incremental learning. Not everyone used
libraries effectively and not everyone had access to larger collections.
In some sense, while certain encyclopedias are ascendant (definitions
and best practice at your fingertips) and access is almost ubiquitous
and immediate, ICT does not change content access much, as academic
paper repositories are still restricted by publishers unless libraries
enable ICT access and institutes foot the bills. The drive to access
and act on information is mostly unchanged, except on basic criteria,
more are literate and more are ICT enabled. Dissemination of information
for education through communications (IEC) was difficult and continues
to be, for development outcomes. Only the channels available have increased
and the promise of interactivity continues to hold potential. Everyone
working with ICT for Development knows this but there is great friction
on exploiting ICT for IEC more effectively even while there is often
consensus on building infrastructure. Actual end-user teaching and learning
is still not addressed and the onus falls on the educator, to be relevant
and appropriate, not on the learner, as before.

misused over the years

DATE WITH RTI

All information about a government servant is private
The appellant sought certified copies of the documents of all
the lecturers/HODs of a Polytechnic college relating to their
names, appointment orders, promotion orders, pay fixation orders,
pay fixation orders after 6th Pay Commission, enhancement orders,
pay modification/alteration orders, etc. The matter came up before
the Central Information Commission which ruled that except for
information that can be disclosed u/s 4(1)(b), all other information
about the employees would be personal information, which includes
the service details, property returns, etc. The CIC directed the
public authority to give only the information relating to the
names of the lecturers working in the Polytechnic, along with
their designations and pay scale.
Comments
Many public information officers are harassed by RTI applicants
who seek information about a government servant through a series
of RTI applications. This order provides a way to deal with such
cases.
