The central government has decided to train nodal officers dealing with RTI applications both at the Centre and in states on various do's and don'ts of the transparency law. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has planned a detailed training programme for Central Public Information Officers (CPIOs) and State Public Information Officers (SPIOs), who act as nodal officers to deal with RTI applications. According to the DoPT, the officials will be made aware of periodic changes made in the RTI Act and e-handling of applications. The officers will also be trained on ways to provide the information sought in an RTI query.

The DoPT had in 2010 introduced a plan scheme 'Improving transparency and accountability in government through effective implementation of Right to Information Act' in order to continue to support the State Information Commission and Administrative Training Institutes in the area of awareness generation and capacity building. The government has also issued instructions requiring all public authorities to update records, improve infrastructure and bring out necessary manuals as provided in the Act and comply with the provisions regarding suo-motu disclosure.

The RTI Act, which was enacted in 2005, covers disclosure of information on almost all matters of governance.

The government has also decided to give a grant of 2.5 lakh rupees each to a State Information Commission for organising RTI week between October 5-11 every year, another 2.5 lakh rupees each to training institutes for innovative awareness generation programmes and 50 lakh rupees each for organising workshops and seminars. According to the DoPT, the CPIOs and SPIOs will also be trained in computer literacy.
