Mission

Since right to information is fundamental right of the people, mission of CCRI is to work, in all possible way,
to safeguard the fundamental of citizens' right to information in full adherence of modern democratic norms and
values through different activities viz. research, training, workshop, publication of advocacy materials,
radio program, etc. It cannot be denied that the issues of the protection of right to information cannot be

to federal structure. Thus, CCRI is dedicated to orient Nepalese administrative and social mindset for open and
transparent information culture.
