However, it's crucial to note:
* Specific Funding and Function: The extent of Vinayaka Mission University's coverage depends on the specifics of its funding and the nature of its operations. If a significant portion of its funding comes from the government or if it performs public functions (like offering publicly accessible courses), then the chances of it being covered are higher.
* Exemptions: Even if covered, the university might have some exemptions under the RTI Act for certain information related to student records, internal deliberations, or commercially sensitive data.
To be absolutely certain, you should:
1. Check the University Website: Look for their RTI section, which might contain their official stance on being subject to the RTI Act and their procedures for filing requests.
2. File an RTI Application: Filing an RTI application directly is the most definitive way to determine if they consider themselves a public authority subject to the act. If they deny your application, their reasoning will explicitly state whether they believe they are covered under the RTI Act.
In short, it's highly probable but not guaranteed. The best way to confirm is to consult the university's website or file an RTI request.
