General public can now access over 3,500
government data banks on a single website having a wealth of information,

Launching the website www.data.gov.in,
Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal said: "Ever since the UPA government
came to power, information revolution started with the Right to Information Act
that has got up to a stage where we are willing to share data with everybody.
We realise that in absence of data you can not take appropriate decision."
The website carries over 3,500 government
data banks, according to an official release.
People in government must change their
mindset and be willing to share more information barring those piece of
information that can have security implications, he said.
"Even though we 3500 sets of data,
what we need to do is change mindset of governments throughout the country to
share all that data. Unless we share information we will not be able to bring
revolution," the Minister said.

month to use this data."

Raguram Rajan to be new RBI governor
Raguram Rajan to be new RBI governor
He will succeed D Subbarao
whose term ends on September 5
Raghuram Rajan, currently the Chief
Economic Advisor to the government of India was on 06 August 2013(Tuesday)
appointed the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) governor. Finance Ministry's office
has confirmed the appointment for three years..
There were two other contenders -- economic
affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram and Planning Commission member Saumitra
Chaudhuri.
Rajan will replace D Subbarao, who
completes his five-year term on September 4, and will be the 23rd Governor of
the central bank. "Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has approved appointment
of Raghuram Rajan as Governor of RBI for a term of three years," an
official statement said.
Rajan, a former IMF chief economist, was
appointed as the Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry in August last
year.Known for his frank views, Rajan was also honorary economic advisor to the
Prime Minister. He was acclaimed for predicting the 2008 global financial
crisis.
An alumni of IIM-Ahmedabad and IIT-Delhi,
Rajan did his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was
professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business before taking
over as CEA.
Rajan was also involved with the report on
Financial Sector Reforms, which was authorised by the Planning Commission.
The former IMF chief economist had emerged
as the key pointsman for Finance minister P Chidambaram, dealing with issues as
diverse as a new development index to calm down nerves in the markets.
Apart from a sound understanding of the
economic and financial system, what also works in favour of Rajan is his
familiarity with key players in the global economic system, especially in
uncertain times like at present. Besides, he is expected to get new ideas into
RBI, which many on Raisina Hill believe is too conservative.
At the same time, a professional economist
like Rajan is expected to take an independent view of applicants for bank
licences and not act under the finance ministry's pressure. Rajan's appointment
comes at a time when the economy is struggling with a high Current Account
Deficit (CAD) and a depreciating rupee.
