The Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation in collaboration with MyGov, is set to launch an exciting data-visualization hackathon titled “Innovate with GoIStats”.
The hackathon aims to inspire India’s young and brightest minds – students and researchers to utilize the vast official statistics generated by the National Statistics Office (NSO) to create innovative data-driven insights.
Inspiring India’s Young and Brightest Minds
The hackathon will invite participants to explore and analyze official statistics from the reports, microdata and other datasets available on the website of the Ministry. These can be like the Periodic Labor Force Survey (PLFS); Household Consumer Expenditure Survey (HCES); Annual Survey of Industries (ASI); Consumer Price Index (CPI); Gross Domestic Product (GDP); and, more.
