Just a short post to introduce two sites being developed by CDF:
India Development Indicators is an online platform that leverages existing investments in data by standardizing, harmonizing, and visualizing development data at various resolutions such as state, district, parliamentary constituency etc. The site allows users to visualize indicators using maps, charts, rankings, etc. We have uploaded several pan-India datasets as well detailed state specific datasets for 4 states and more is on the way. The site is fully functional but various sections are still under development and we hope to improve several aspects of the navigation soon.
Development Data Library is an online repository for development data and analysis on India. Designed for researchers, students, community organizations, and policymakers to quickly and efficiently share primary data, it can accept all common formats and does not require any harmonization or other data processing. The DDL site has been developed with a Web 2.0 interface which allows user to upload, search, view and download datasets. Datasets are saved in relevant categories and sub categories, tagged with keywords and relevant catalog information such as author name, relevant geography and publication details. In addition, the site permits users to rate and comment on datasets. It also features an interesting maps section which shows the datasets available for a particular geography, down to district level, and for a particular category and sub category. The database can also be accessed through the map interface. Over time, as more researchers start contributing datasets, it is hoped that this map section would reflect the type of research going into different geographies of India
