Under 6th pillar of digital India Initiative, Open Government Data Platform is endeavoring share of Government data in open domain to improve openness and transparency between Government and the public, encouraging participation of the community and emphasizing data driven decision making to enable the delivery of integrated services.
Structured data available in open format and open license for public access and use, usually termed as “Open Data,” it allows citizens and businesses to find new ways to use it and to create new innovative products and services. The Open Government Data initiative started in India with the notification of the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP), on 17th March 2012 & in pursuance of the policy, the Open Government Data Platform India (data.gov.in) was launched in 2012.
Data also is one of the most valuable resources of modern governance, sharing of which enables various and non-exclusive usages for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. Associating an Open License with Open Data is necessary to ensure the legal grounding for its potential reuse and also is crucial to ensure that such data is not misused or misinterpreted (for example, by insisting on proper attribution), and that all users have the same and permanent right to use the data. For a data user wishing to use and build on top of public data, they require assurance of what they legally can and can’t do with the data both commercially and non-commercially. To promote access to publicly held information, promoting transparency and enabling wider economic and social gain, need has been felt in the Government that there must be an Open Government Data Use License.
Government Open Data Use License - India has been drafted by the Suresh Chandra (Law Secretary, Department of Legal Affairs) Committee. After several rounds of discussions and deliberations the committee has finalized the draft of the license.
General public and stake-holders including open data community members, professionals, academicians, data scientists, NGOs, institutions, government bodies, etc. in the field of open data production, consumption and management are hereby solicited to send their suggestions on draft Government Open Data Use License - India.

शिक्षा के मामले में मेरे कुछ विचार हैं। आज की शिक्षा बहुत लम्बी और समय बरबाद करने वाली हैं। शिक्षा के बहाने जितना समय बरबाद होता है, वह पूरी तरह काम नहीं आता है। जितनी शिक्षा प्राप्त कर डिग्रियां हासिल करते हैं, नौकरी प्राप्त करने पर उस शिक्षा का मात्र 5 या 10 प्रतिशत तक ही काम आता है। और 90 से 95 प्रतिशत बेकार चला जाता है। क्यों न विद्यार्थियों को मेट्रिक के बाद से ही किसी नौकरी में शामिल करके उसी नौकरी के अनुसार शिक्षा दी जाए। उसी नौकरी में अनुभव और शिक्षा देते हुए उसे पदोन्नति दिया जाए।
Thanks a lot.
It appears to us that this was necessary and under the aegis of the Govt such data is very useful to enhance the productivity the same was cognized by us vibrantly since 2013 pl peruse https://www.linkedin.com/in/hemant-shirbavikar-a66b7b3a. Besides to this we request Govt to arrange free connectivity and free solar operated desk top and peripherials to the families which do not have. This will necessiate Govt to boost SSI for manufacturing of hardwares so as to compete. 9926002800
All income earned through Income tax, vat, sess ad misc should be visible to public and also the amount spent on on development of the country from that income should also be visible and of course the amount left either in positive or negative should be visible.
All data should be accessible through Indian IP address only.
My suggestion is to have a Dashboard which contains all the financial information of a constituency(How much is allocated, how much is allocated to each department, how much is spent by the department, Amount spent on project etc.) . The projects can have all the documents. This will give more accountability.
All MPs /MLAs/corporators n gram Sabha members must disclose there spending quarterly giving details of work status.
All the common question asked in RTI must be available in public domain with out sending RTI.
Except defence n documents related to security every detail of government should be open for public.
पारदर्शिता की बात कर रही है सरकार तो थोड़ी समानता की भी बात कर ले। असली लोकतंत्र समानताा से ही संभव है और यहां जब सरकारी नौकरी में एक चपरासी का वेतन 25000 से शुरू होता है तो एक इंजिनीयर मात्र 4000 से निजी क्षेत्र में शुरुआत करने को क्यों मजबूर है? क्या सरकार को निजी क्षेत्र में भी सरकारी वेतनमान के अनुसार वेतनमान तय नहीं करना चाहिए? निजी क्षेत्र में जहां नौकरी सुरक्षित नहीं होती वहीं लोगों की मजबूरी का फायदा उठाया जाता है, उम्मीद है मोदी सरकार सुने
