The Department of Personnel and Training, under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions, has taken the initiative to establish an RTI Portal Gateway. This portal is a comprehensive platform for citizens to easily search for information related to Appellate Authorities, Public Information Officers (PIOs), and other relevant details. This initiative aims to facilitate citizens' efficient access to information and promote transparency in government functioning.
