Please come n join hands in lucknow to strengthen these two acts at National Convention on Right to Information and National Rural Employment Guarantee on Sept 9-10, 2009 in Lucknow, uttar pradesh RTI and NREGA had generated tremendous hope among the people of this country. Some things have definitely changed for the better. But by and large people feel dissatisfied with the implementation of these two Acts. The initial enthusiasm is now giving room to some disillusionment. People are worried whether the spirit of these two Acts will meet the same fate and so many other wonderful laws and schemes in this country.
To address these apprehensions and issues National Alliance of People’s Movements and National Campaign for People’s Right to Information is organizing a two day convention in the Uttar Pradesh’s sate capital to take stock of the present status of implementation of these two Acts as well as to discuss ways of making intervention so that the common man may benefit from them more than they are presently able to.

All the delegates participating in the convention have active & effective representative presence in the social arena including RTI & NREGA at international/ national/ state or district level and are persons of prominence in their respective areas of social services. Their presence and view-sharing on various aspects of RTI & NREGA, the acknowledgement of the problems which effective implementation of RTI & NREGA are facing, strategies to establish common man's right with respect to RTI & NREGA & probable solutions of the problems in effective implementation of these two acts etc. at the convention shall stir the things and for sure this is going to make this convention an event of national importance, impact of which shall go a long way off to strengthen RTI & NREGA act's effective implementation to help the real INDIA that lives in our villages.
