Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu will inaugurate the Central Information Commission's (CIC) 12th annual convention on the Right to Information Act on December 6.
The Commission had last held its annual convention on November 7 and 8, 2016.
The convention is held to commemorate the inception of the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, and takes stock of the implementation of the transparency law around the country, a statement by the personnel ministry said.
The convention is attended by all State Information Commissions besides stakeholders from across the country.
This year's convention will follow the two seminars held in May and July which discussed 'Implementation of the RTI Act, 2005' and 'Land Records and RTI Act' respectively, the statement said.
The CIC has invited well-researched presentations, including case studies from academicians, practitioners, researchers, NGOs/civil society groups, students and other stakeholders covering three subjects, namely 'Suo-motu disclosures', 'Record keeping' and 'Emerging issues in implementation of RTI Act' for the convention, it added.
