RTPS Services
The Assam Right to Public Service Act in 2012, enacted by the Government of Assam, is an act to provide for the delivery of notified public services to the people of the state of Assam within the stipulated time limit and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto. This Act came into force across all districts of the state, except for the Sixth Schedule areas. However, the Act has now been extended and adopted in the Sixth Schedule Districts which includes Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council (DHATC) and Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC).
The Act was amended in September 2019, and is now known as the "The Assam Right to Public Services (Amendment) Act, 2019". The Act is a step towards Bringing Services Closer to People. Some of the Key Provisions under this Act are -
- Right to get ARTPS notified public services within a specified time frame
- Right to get Acknowledgement receipt on application submission
- Designated Public Servant (DPS) for notified public services
- Provision of appeal to Appellate Authority in case of non-receipt of notified public services
- There is a Provision for Second Appeal in case the applicant is not satisfied with the Decision of the Appellate Authority
The Agriculture Department has also undertaken a lot of e-governance initiatives to strengthen the public service delivery system.
