1.  Title of the learning material? - Right to Information motivational posters

2.  Key objective of the learning material? - To inform, educate and

communicate to villagers about how RTI can be used as a tool to

address village level problems related to the poor implementation of

government schemes and acts. As a result of using this visual aid at

the field level we hope to promote further discussion about rights and

motivate villagers to independently file RTI.

These posters reference a range of government schemes which have

frequently been questioned in the past by villagers filing RTI in Gram

Vikas project locations. Posters can be selected thematically by field

workers as per the requirement in each village. The enclosed example

attempts to draw attention to the effective functioning of government

schools and the Mid Day Meal Scheme.

3.  What has the material helped to achieve so far? - The posters are

yet to be pilot tested in villages.

4.  Who are the key audiences? - Village elders, village leaders and

members of Village Executive Committees. We hope to print these

posters on large pieces of material visible to large groups of

villagers when assembled at meetings etc. A visual aid such as this

can hopefully be understood by all levels of village society,

regardless of literacy level. There is also the opportunity to

approach enthusiastic village youths and children residing at Gram

Vikas residential schools with these materials.

5 . Next Steps? - To finalize the designs, print the designs and test

the success of the materials by utilizing them at village meetings.
