Can one ask for a statement of beneficiaries under government agricultural schemes, under Right to Information Act?

Babji Yana's answer at Quora on 18th May 2019

Yes. Data pertaining to the beneficiaries of various agricultural schemes can be had from the Department of Agriculture. Agriculture Dept in each State performs functions like Services that enable sustainable agricultural development, Capacity building of farmers, Agricultural extension re-engineering, Strengthening research - extension linkage etc.

Agriculture is a State subject. Hence information under RTI can be sought from the State Public Information Officer o/o the Commissioner/Director of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture of the State concerned or the Joint Director of Agriculture of the District concerned, as the case may be.
