Chandra Talluri, Chief Executive Officer, Object Technology Solutions India (OTSI)
Kindly brief us on the recently executed NITI Aayog’s National Data and Analytics Platform (NDAP).
OTSI has developed NITI Aayog’s National Data and Analytics Platform (NDAP). It’s a more outcome-based project and we are the sole technology partner involved in this project. This is one of the prestigious projects. Many big names have participated in the RFP which was primarily targeted at Tier 1 partners.
The platform aims to improve last-mile delivery and enable seamless use of Indian Government data through an intuitive, user-friendly platform. NDAP is a one-stop shop for Government’s data in a way that is truly useful to users (citizens to policy makers). The portal currently offers 203+ datasets from more than 47+ Central Government Ministries and Agencies and across 14 Sectors and will add new datasets up to the village level in the future.
Using specially designed algorithms, the data fetched from various Government portals is processed to ensure uniformity in semantics so that two different datasets can be compared. This means that our software enables Government data to be presented in a user-friendly format, and promotes data-driven decision making and research. As of today, we have analyzed and processed more than 30,000 source files from various departments and combined them into 203 datasets on NDAP. We are working on getting more datasets to be onboarded onto the platform. We took every measure to make sure NDAP’s backend architecture is scalable and resilient to cater to the future needs of India.
