• District level

and provide insights from grass roots for informed policy making

Location of 42 VDS villages:

SAT India, East India and Bangladesh

Existing System

• Data are in Excel, ASCI, CSPro

• Data manuals are in PDF, Word

• Available through VDSA webpage

• Data extraction and analysis is time consuming

• No scope for data mining

VDSA Data Users
