Hi, Our Open data policy makes it mandatory for ministries to categorize their department datasets into open-data or restricted and release them publicly. But the same is not true with city/municipal agencies. Most important datasets like public transport, financial spendings, pollution levels, water usage fall under state/municipal agencies.
These are important datasets which need to be made public. Making local agencies release datasets through data.gov.in would bring data standards locally and also improve community participation. Think of it, bangalore.data.gov.in would be an interesting page to have. Pointing out the equivalent open-access pages across the world. Beijing - http://www.bjdata.gov.cn/ Seattle - https://data.seattle.gov/browse Chicago - https://data.cityofchicago.org/ Baltimore - data.baltimorecity.gov Honolulu - data.honolulu.gov Colorado - data.opencolorado.org Lexington - data.lexingtonky.gov Somerville - data.somervillema.gov Palo Alto - paloalto.opendata.junar.com Louisville - portal.louisvilleky.gov why not have similar ones for india, there is enough data around. Delhi has real-time pollution level monitored, real-time locations of buses, water usage data is available from water boards. What do we need for this to happen?
