The Union Cabinet, under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, approved yesterday, the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP 2012) which will make it mandatory for every department to share data.
The NDSAP was designed to promote data sharing and enable access to central government owned data in both human readable and machine readable forms, through a network all over the country in a proactive and periodically updatable manner.
The Policy will maximise the use of government data for community development, minimise the duplication of data thus resulting in significant cost savings in data collection, and help decision makers get quality information which would allow them to arrive at well-informed decisions.
In addition, the policy will also help in the integration of individual databases through the adoption of common standards for collection and data transfer.
Since National Security and the “right to privacy” is important, it is also mandated that each government department prepare a “negative list” which would contain data that is not shareable and would not be available on the public domain.
