The Data Hub

We clean, standardize, and maintain core economic and social datasets that are often fragmented across multiple government portals.

Data in India is plentiful but poorly structured. PDFs where there should be CSVs, changing base years, and broken links characterize the landscape. We maintain this repository as a public good for journalists, researchers, and citizens.
