Aruna Roy is an Indian political and social activist who focuses primarily on transparency and accountability in governance.
In 1990, she set up the grassroots group, Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathana (Workers and Peasants Strength Union); a group constantly fighting for the Right to Information. Through their constant effort, MKSS succeeded in getting the Rajasthan Right to Information Bill passed.
In 2000, Aruna was awarded the Magsaysay award (the Asian Nobel Prize) for community leardership and international understanding.
'In 2004, under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party won the national elections and formed the central government. Aruna was inducted into the National Advisory Committee (NAC), an extremely powerful but extra-constitutional quasi-governmental body headed by Sonia Gandhi which effectively supervises the working of the Manmohan Singh-led government. Aruna's role was to formulate the Right to Information Act[9] which was passed by the Indian parliament in 2005. She served as a member of the National Advisory Council of India until 2006 and is part of NAC II.
In 2010 she received the prestigious Lal Bahadur Shastri National Award for Excellence in Public Administration, Academia and Management.'wikipedia
