Last week, I got an email from one of my colleagues and it caught my attention. It's worth sharing here.
NASSCOM with the support of Microsoft Corporation (India) Pvt. Ltd. organized an Open Data Meet on 29thJuly, 2013 at Microsoft, Bengaluru to "Educate the Start-up & Developer Community on what Open Data exists and its accessibility".
Open data Initiative, a joint initiative of NIC and NASSCOM, where you can build apps for billion Indians on Open Data, some valuable datasets related to Health, Agriculture, Water & Sanitation, etc.
With the mission to promote transparency and greater citizen engagement in governance by making more government datasets/applications publicly available, the theme emphasizes on:
- DISCOVER how power of Open Data can be harnessed for public benefit.
- PARTICIPATE in discussions & exchange of information on enhancing the effectiveness of Open Data.
- ENGAGE in identification of new Open Government Datasets and innovative projects around them.
- INNOVATE ideas that catch fire, burn longer, and spread further.
