TathyaKosh, a catalogue of Indian public data sources. Please use and give feedback

[Praseeda]

Hello Everyone,

I am Praseeda from ACSEL Technology Forum. We have built the platform Tathyakosh,  a digital public good containing Indian public datasets and the portals that publish them. It covers central and state government sources and some research and non-government ones. You need to provide your email ID and OTP to log in. 

It doesn’t host data. Each entry describes a dataset (publisher, format, coverage, how to access it) and links back to the source. The idea came from a problem many people here know: you know some data probably exists, but you can’t find it easily.

Can you find what you’re looking for? If you have 10 minutes:

1. Search for a dataset you have needed recently for your own work.
2. Tell us whether you found it, how long it took, and which search words you used.
3. If it wasn’t there, tell us where you eventually found it. We’ll add it.

We’d like to hear about:

• searches that gave wrong or irrelevant results
• outdated entries, broken links, or wrongly described entries
• filters or categories that don’t match how you think about data
• important sources we have missed

Please reply to my email at write...@gmail.com 

Looking forward to your feedback. 

Thank you.

Regards,

Praseeda
