Data divide between state, citizens is bad for democracy

Polity & Governance

Data can improve people’s life in myriad ways, yet political factors thwart its dissemination and public usage. While this year’s Economic Survey focuses on improving the quality and quantity of data for better and quicker assessment of the state of the economy, it pays little attention to access to the data by citizens, ignoring the criticality of data for a healthy and informed public discourse on issues of policy relevance.
