MUMBAI: Amitabh KantIndia’s sherpa to the G20 made a powerful pitch to delegates right here to advertise establishments just like the National Data Analytics Platform and Data Governance Quality Index in order that information is to be had real-time, and leaders can also be held extra responsible.
“Every country needs to bring in a good data governance quality index. We have tried to build a national data analytics platform because a massive amount of data is available, but it is not in a usable format,” stated Kant. “If you want to change the lives of less developed and developed countries, you need data for development on a real time basis and make it available to citizens. So that every politician, every government officer is named, shamed and questioned based on his performance on good quality data and those principles must be laid out,” said Kant. He said that while government departments had terabytes of data, most of it was garbage as it was not in a form that could be used for analytics. “Government data are provided as aggregates which is not good, we should break down the aggregates,” he said.
The government through NITI Aayog has set up the National Data Analytics platform to make data totally accessible in machine readable format with clear documentation and providing APIs as government departments were reluctant to share data with the public. “Every government department thinks that they own the data. So you bring in the data, put it on a platform, make it easy and accessible to everybody. My experience as a collector was that I could not bring best practices because there was no access to good data,” stated Kant.
Kant stated that the important thing to just right information governance was once the power to get entry to just right high quality information on an actual time foundation and get it verified via third-parties which might herald transparency. He stated that this might deliver pageant in governance as soon as the scores of towns, districts and states are installed public area. Kant stated that nowadays a lot of the information may no longer be used as it was once in silos or even the well being ministry may no longer get knowledge on efficiency of number one well being facilities and hospitals.
