Suryapet district has been named Telangana’s best-performing district for implementing the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005.
The Telangana State Information Commission selected the district for its efforts to help citizens access government information and improve transparency.
District Collector Tejas Nand Lal Pawar received the award from Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla at the Right to Information Week Celebrations 2026. The event took place at Ravindra Bharati in Hyderabad on Friday.
The district administration introduced special measures to improve the way it handles RTI applications. These steps focused on providing information within the required time limits and regularly checking the progress of applications.
