What

The National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP) has set a benchmark in enabling India to become one of the leading country with regard to Open Data Initiative across the world. The Open Government Data (OGD) Platform, India (data.gov.in) which has emanated from the principles and objectives of NDSAP has over the course of last few years done path breaking work in publishing data from across the government departments in an Open, accessible and machine readable format.

Keeping up with our continuous efforts to take the OGD platform (data.gov.in) India to new heights, National Informatics Centre(NIC) is organising a half a day workshop for Data Controllers and Data Contributors on 22nd April 2015 at Gulmohar Hall in India Habitat Centre, New Delhi from 10 am onwards.
This will be followed by an open discussion with Community at 3:00 pm at the same venue.
