Which Indian state became the first in the country to enact its own Right to Information Act in 1997?
Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu became the first Indian state to enact its own Right to Information Act in 1997, ahead of the national RTI Act of 2005.
Rajasthan, Punjab and Karnataka enacted their own transparency measures later, but Tamil Nadu was the first state to do so in 1997.
Hence, Tamil Nadu is the correct answer.
