Sri Chitra Institute changes stand, to make info of meetings public under RTI Act

The New Indian Express Kollam

|

July 16, 2025

AFTER dragging its feet on a Central Information Commission directive, the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) has finally decided to furnish information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act about the decisions taken during its governing body and institute body meetings since July 2020.

- SOVI VIDYADHARAN @T'Puram

It was in December 2023 that the SCTIMST first turned down an RTI query seeking a copy of the minutes of its governing body (GB) meetings number 107 to 113 as well as of the institute body (IB) meetings since July 2020. The applicant had cited doubts regarding the transparency of decisions taken by the two top bodies of SCTIMST after a new director assumed office in 2019, as the reason for filing the query.
