Why open matters
When public data is open, anyone can analyse it, build on it and hold institutions to account. When software is open source, anyone can inspect it, improve it and reuse it.
Where to start
- Open Government Data Platform (data.gov.in): thousands of public datasets from ministries and departments
- Right to Information (RTI): your legal right to request information from public authorities
- Open-source projects built in India and used by millions
What we'll publish
- Guides to finding and using public data
- Stories of civic-tech projects making a difference
- A directory of open datasets, tools and communities
Get involved
Researchers, developers, journalists and citizens are all welcome. Contributions will open at launch.
