The quality of civic data in India and the implications on the push
for Open Data
16th July 2013
The Project• Three city wide case studies in three sectors
– Health– Water – Public Toilets
• Data availability (inadequate)
• Quality (poor)
• Processes of creation (informal)
• Impact of data
Sector Outputs Outcome
Water
A info-graphic showing number of
waster connections by area and socio-economic status
Inequity in service provision and the
right to water
Public toilets
A plan to monitor toilets
A sustainable monitoring
mechanism of the physical
infrastructure
Health
The design of a data portal
Possibility and implications of open
government
Water
• What we need?– Data on locations of lorry trips– Data on number of connections in slums and
informal settlements – Data on un-served areas
• What is available? – data set on number of lorry trips– history of Chennai Metrowater's expansion
For example:
Public toilets
1. Poor and confounding data
2. Ward wise surveys and mapping
3. Understanding metrics and parameters required for planning
4. Research for monitoring
5. Community meetings
Public Health
Public Health (contd)
• Expression of Interest (EOI) with the Public Health Department
• Access to existing data
• Create data for better planning (mosquito hotspots, incidence of disease, sewage leaks)
Some Challenges
• Suspension of Mr. P. Kuganantham (Cholera deaths) in the past
• Transfer of Mr. Brajendra Navnit
• No access to Chennai Metrowater’s data
Thank you!
