Nisha, Even we get the portals, it will be difficult to the get the data out of these agencies across different cities. It will be hard convincing each agency and most agencies won`t even store the data structurally.
We need more changes in the NDSAP, also there are new ISO standards which are under development for city related data http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=62436 Getting data standards implemented across agencies is the challenging part.
