Information Commission Unveils 100-Day Plan Featuring University RTI Fairs, Backlog Hearings, and Training Programs
Information Commission outreach and campus educational initiatives.

To make the Information Commission robust, impartial, and effective, Chief Information Commissioner Prof. Dr. Nahrin Islam Khan announced a comprehensive 100-day action plan during a press conference on Thursday, November 11, 2026. Highlighting operational hurdles, she noted that the commission is currently operating with only 22 officials and employees against an approved organogram of 76 positions, yet remains committed to asserting independent oversight after years of democratic stagnation.

The 100-day plan centers on raising public awareness and accessibility. Key initiatives include organizing Bangladesh’s first week-long RTI (Right to Information) fair at the end of the month across three public and four private universities in Dhaka. The fairs aim to educate students on exercising legal rights and channeling grievances through lawful channels rather than resorting to mob justice. Additionally, the commission will resume hearings for a backlog of 917 pending complaints accumulated over the past two years, alongside over 200 newly filed applications, starting on November 16. The plan also incorporates structured training sessions for journalists, content creators, and politicians to foster peaceful accountability and constructive civic engagement.
