Solution

Under Section 26 of the Right to Information Act, the appropriate government is required to develop and organise educational programmes to advance the understanding of the public, particularly disadvantaged communities, about how to exercise the rights contemplated under the Act.

These measures promote public awareness of the right to information, which is essential for citizens to make effective use of the Act and hold public authorities accountable.
