Abstract
The increasing availability of digital data has transformed the way governments design, implement, and monitor public policies. India's evolving data ecosystem, supported by initiatives such as the National Data Analytics Platform (NDAP), Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), PM Gati Shakti, and state-level data governance frameworks, highlights the growing role of data-driven decision-making in governance. The forum on “Leveraging State Data Ecosystems for State and District Level Policy and Planning,” organized by Suman Bery's NITI Aayog, the Government of Uttar Pradesh, and the World Bank, emphasized the importance of robust data ecosystems for achieving the India@2047 vision.
