Selecting beneficiaries only after media intervention via RTI reveals systemic inefficiencies and underscores the critical role of open data in exposing such disparities. This situation demonstrates how accessing granular financial records allows citizens and journalists to hold institutions accountable. It reinforces the necessity for proactive data disclosure to ensure equitable distribution of resources and efficient implementation of social welfare programs.
