Hi, Sequoia Capital organized Bangalore::Hack on 14-15 Sept.'13. I participated in that.
I worked on the tool that would try to help journalists and socially active people who are trying to make difference at ground level. Being in metros we have access good new papers like The Hindu, good internet access to visit different news sites. But if you go any tier II or III cities and read the local news paper there then we do not see similar quality content. This is because journalists or people do not have access to technology by which they can backup their stories with relevant data. So the idea here is to get the data from government website like data.gov.inand list of policies government has implemented over time. And then try link them together to see what difference those policies have made. What do you think about the idea ? Any suggestions and comments are welcome. A demo and detailed report about the event is at:- http://neependra.net/?p=929 -- Regards, Neependra www.neependra.net -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
