This is open data. Unfortunately I am not conversant with the technical aspects of data licensing.
The data has been collected by Janaagraha through RTI. It is maintained by the chief finance officer of BBMP. We received the responses in PDF format which was digitized at our expense. We believe lot of interesting analytics is possible on this dataset. It has geographic dimension (wards, zones) as well as a time dimension (5 years). This data represents spending of public money so in the interest of transparency we would like all Bangalore citizens to analyze it, especially with reference to their own neighborhood/ward. I hope this is interesting data for the Datameet community to look at. Though I'm using the term 'contest' along the lines of Kaggle contests, it is more to do with sharing the data with interested individuals.
