Will the **PRIME MINISTER** be pleased to state:

(a) 	whether the Government has received any complaints from RTI activists facing threats due to invoking RTI Act;

(b) 	if so, the details thereof during the last three years and the current year;

(c) 	the details of RTI activists/ whistleblowers, killed/attacked during the last three years, State-wise; and

(d) 	the steps taken by the Government to provide adequate security to the information seekers along with the details of provisions made in the Act in this regard?

**ANSWER**

Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. (DR. JITENDRA SINGH)

(a) to (c): There are some media reports that some people have been killed, attacked and received threats allegedly due to their role as RTI activists/whistleblowers.  No such data is, however, centrally maintained.

(d): 	There is no need for a separate policy to deal with such cases as the framework of existing laws such as Indian Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code etc. is considered adequate to provide for safety and security to all citizens, including RTI activists.  Further, RTI Activists and whistleblowers also get protection under the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2011.

Further as maintenance of law and order and providing safety and security for all citizens is primarily the subject matter of State Government concerned, Government of India had drawn the attention of State Governments to the reports appearing in the media about the victimization of people, who use RTI to expose corruption and irregularities in administration.  The States had been requested that if any such instance comes to their notice, it should be promptly inquired into and action taken against the offenders.

Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

(a)	whether it is a fact that State Governments which have undertaken educational activities prior to launching of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in 2001 are ineligible for central fund and if so, the details thereof;

(c)	whether the Government has received any representations from the State of Gujarat for providing funds in an equitable manner under SSA and also to provide Central assistance to over one lakh primary school teachers appointed prior to coming into force of SSA; and

(d)	if so, the Government's response thereto?

**ANSWER**

**MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT**

**(SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)**

(a)&(b): No, Madam. Under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), a centrally sponsored scheme, State Governments/UTs are provided financial assistance as per the guidelines and norms of SSA. As per the SSA framework of implementation, the States/UTs are not entitled for financial support for activities that have already been implemented by them.  The SSA framework for financial norms stipulates that 
States would need to maintain their level of investment in elementary education 
as in 1999-2000. The Annual Work Plan and Budget of the respective State government/UT under SSA is approved after detailed appraisal and deliberation in the Project Approval Board (PAB) meeting.  This gives full opportunity to all States to place their requirement before the Central Government for seeking assistance under the SSA.   The outlay of SSA, Gujarat has increased from Rs. 137400.94 lakh in 2013-14 to Rs. 197359.78 lakh in 2015-16.

(c)&(d): Representations have been received from the State Government of 
Gujarat.  Funds under the SSA programme are provided by the Central Government to States/UTs based on approved norms and guidelines of the scheme. The investment undertaken by the State Government prior to the SSA are not covered under the SSA.

**SHRI SUMEDHANAND SARSWATI:**

Will the Minister of  COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY be pleased to state:

(a) 	whether the Government has received study reports by Scientific Groups and Institutions relating to the harmful effects of Wi-Fi on humans;

(b)	 if so, the details thereof;

(c) 	whether the Government proposes to conduct a study in this regard; and

(d) 	if so, the details thereof and the action taken by the Government to minimise the impact of Wi-Fi?

ANSWER

**THE MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY**

**(SHRI RAVI SHANKAR PRASAD)**

(a) & (b) 	Madam, The electromagnetic frequency (EMF) used in Wi-Fi technology lies in the Radio Frequency (3 KHz to 300 GHz) part of electromagnetic spectrum. World Health Organization (WHO), as part of its charter to protect public health and in response to public concern over health effects of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure, established the International EMF Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of EMF in the frequency range from 0 to 300 GHz.

Since the commencement of the EMF Project, over 50 national authorities have been involved.  Apart from the national authorities the project is overseen by 8 international organizations and independent collaborating institutions and together they review scientific information related to public and occupational health, and environmental management of the EMF issue. While summarizing the key points on health effect of EMF radiation, WHO website mentions the following:

“….. *Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health* .. *.”*

It would also be pertinent to mention that World Health Organisation (WHO) has referred to approximately 25,000 studies, conducted around the world over past 30 years, and based on an in-depth review of scientific literature, has concluded: “current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to EMF radiation”. Since the effects on human beings are to be studied over a long period of time, further studies are going on around the world.

(c) & (d) A joint initiative has been launched by Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), a statutory body under Department of Science & Technology and Department of Telecommunications (DoT), to study possible impact of EMF radiation exposure from mobile towers and handsets in the non-ionizing band (300MHZ to 3 GHZ ; which includes the frequency used for Wi-Fi technology) on life. i.e. Humans, Living Organisms, Flora & Fauna and Environment.
