PM degree row Provide copy of BA degree records of 1978 CIC to DU on RTI application

NEW DELHI . THE CENTRAL Information Commission has ruled that Delhi University will have to provide a copy of the records of all students who completed their BA degree in 1978 — the year when the university said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had cleared the examination. 
 
Last year, the university had denied these records to an RTI applicant, saying that it was the “personal information of the students concerned, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest”. 
 
The Commission, however, said that matters relating to the education of a student — current or former — fall under the category of public interest. Indian Express
