Abstract

Today, India’s health indicators come from a variety of surveys. However, many of the existing datasets are not shared even between ministries and are not open-sourced for use by analysts. The big problem arises even after the data is collected, as some of the key indicators often remain missing from these datasets. Erroneous data is another serious concern. While money and resources have been allocated towards better data collection, the problem is in terms of design, transparency, and confidence in releasing the information collected. The paucity of information has several implications.
