CCT offers powerful means to make governance transparent and answerable to the people. Similarly, they can be used to ensure more transparency in business practices.
With CCT working in tandem with other factors that strengthen democracy, such as the Right to Information Bill, we can hope to see increased empowerment of ordinary citizens. CCT could eliminate the role of the intermediary who makes profit by keeping information secret and leaking it selectively to those who please them. Ultimately, CCT may help to balance the sharp socio-economic divides in our society by giving access to those who were kept away from the mainstream due to lack of relevant information.
