Government website www.data.gov.in gives access to 3,500 data banks


General public can now access over 3,500 government data banks on a single website having a wealth of information, ranging from beneficiaries under various schemes to industrial output numbers.

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.


Adviser to Prime Minister of India, Sam Pitroda said: "Today we have over 3,500 sets of data but in next six months we would like to see that this goes up to 10,000 data sets and we would like to challenge developer community to make at least 100 applications in next 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.
