In this role he plans and oversees the work of 30 RTI fellows in the region. In addition, he also conducts regular RTI camps in Varanasi district.

Current emphasis of RTI campaign includes improvements in resources allocated through many government schemes and programs such as NREGA, Mid-day Meal and teacher attendance at government schools, ICDS (Baalwadis), PDS (Ration shops), and general disbursement of government funds. These goals are achieved primarily through creating and supporting public participation in demand for implementation of these programs.

With involvement of Vallabh bhai, Asha projects monitoring is becoming highly organized and effective. Multiple new possibilities exist in expanding his work in project evaluation and monitoring of greater number of grassroots projects. He has keen interest in making Asha supported projects more effective through special projects such as Libraries and teacher training.

- Projects audits and monitoring, identify and communicate problems at supported projects
- Asha Trust administrative and account keeping work. Keep summary accounts of all Asha funded projects in India. Facilitated proper accounts and records.
- Identify and recommend suitable projects for IFG to consider. Provide detail info, supporting documents and feed back on questions. Coordinate status of new proposals and communicate updates to all parties.
- Training workshops and vocational training camps at Kaithi center
- Member of editorial board of Sachchi Muchchi (monthly magazine printed by from Kaithi)

Main goal of Vallabh's work is to mobilize numerous small community based and owned efforts in eastern Uttar Pradesh around education and rights. With Vallabh bhai's careful nurturing and strong coordination & monitoring more than thirty such communities are now able to free up government resources allocated for them and improve the public services such as government schools, NREGA and PDS. Corruption levels have reduced significantly in the blocks of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar where such people participation in Right to Information campaign is strong.
