Explanation

Under Section 2(j) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, the 'Right to Information' is defined as the right to access information held by or under the control of any public authority. This specifically includes the inspection of work, documents, and records [2]. It also encompasses obtaining information in various electronic modes, such as diskettes, floppies, tapes, and video cassettes [2]. While the Act allows for taking notes, extracts, or certified copies of documents, it does not permit an applicant to physically remove original files from the office to a desired location [2]. Furthermore, the definition of 'information' and 'records' is broad enough to include photographs and images [2]. Therefore, the right includes inspection, taking photographs (as a form of reproduction/image), and obtaining information in tapes, but excludes the physical removal of files from the office.
