In its letter sent on 22 May, TISL had made three key recommendations.

The first being,

“…establish an online platform providing all information on grants/donations received with timely updates on spending,” the second, “maintain an e-procurement platform to publish all government tender notices and related documents, technical evaluations, decisions etc., providing timely updates during the procurement process and implementation,” and the third, “issue a circular reinforcing the need for strict record management practices in all public institutions in compliance with provisions of the RTI Act and regulations promulgated by the RTI Commission.”
