Dear Friends, I have for long been a silent member of this group, benefiting enormously from the discussions. I now work with ORF, on the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals in India. We focus on nutrition and health goals and monitoring of targets is an important component of our work.
We plan to have a public data portal where trends of indicators from NSSO , NFHS , CRS/SRS etc around health/nutrition will be provided with the maximum possible customisation and disaggregation, with the aim of informing public discussion. We already have most of the data sets. A broad prototype (this one doesn't focus on health/nutrition) can be found here: http://www.indiadatalabs.org/IndiaDatalabs.aspx Along with this, we also have plans to have constituency-wise tracking of SDG indicators(data derived from district level data, which will perhaps be a challenge), resulting in a score-card and discussions around these issues. In short, it will be a more comprehensive and dynamic portal than what we have now. It will be great to have your inputs about the idea, and also on potential agencies, collectives, individuals with the requisite technical expertise to take up such a task. Thanking you in advance! Sincerely, Oommen. Oommen C.
