Widening access is just one part of the mission. The team at Data For India also strives to foster a deeper understanding of what the data means: contextualising numbers and trends with relevant research, and engaging users in the broader story behind each dataset. Workshops, joint projects, and open-access publications create further opportunities for the public and sector experts to contribute, question, and collaborate.
Importantly, Data For India maintains a steadfastly non-partisan approach, ensuring every insight stands on rigorous analysis rather than opinion. By focusing on openness, accuracy, and inclusivity, the platform continues to play a vital role in public debate, policy discourse, and the everyday pursuit of knowledge across the country.
