Hyderabad Indian School of Business’s (ISB) Bharti Institute of Public Policy (BIPP) launched a fully revamped India Data Portal (IDP) 2.0, at its campus in Hyderabad. The Portal 2.0 is designed to further equip journalists, researchers, students, policymakers, and other stakeholders to access, interact with, and visualise information, data and knowledge.
The launch programme was also marked by a panel discussion on “Evolution of Open Data: Impact, Challenges, and Future Directions,” where subject experts shared their thoughts on the topic. The discussion was moderated by Professor Ashwini Chhatre, Executive Director, BIPP.
“Government alone cannot be the harbinger of change in the open data landscape. The growth of new technology would act as a potential solution to reconcile the demand and supply side. These initiatives, led by individuals with extensive domain expertise, aim to simplify and broaden the accessibility of government data for the benefit of all,” said Prof Chhatre.
