The National Democratic Alliance government, recently accused of concealing crucial data, has decided to become more transparent by making raw data from surveys and censuses available free of cost for public use.
“It has been decided to make the unit-level data available free of cost so that more people can access and scrutinise the data produced by the National Statistical Office (NSO),” said chief statistician Pravin Srivastava.
This means the unit-level data for the periodic labour force survey (PLFS) 2017-18, which was at the centre of a controversy recently as the government had delayed the release of the report, will be available for free to researchers and analysts.
