For a country where people often get reduced to statistics given the humongous population, India hardly has any effective data measurement tools<\/a> that can be relied upon and swung into action amidst a pandemic<\/a>, as the ongoing Covid-19 crisis has exposed.

contact tracing<\/a>. It is yet to be seen how the health data collected through the app is going to be used in improving public healthcare in the country. Nonetheless, this has not prevented the government to roll out a national health ID for every individual – the world's biggest national digital health scheme – amidst the pandemic<\/a>.

If ‘one country-one tax’ and ‘one country-one card’ can be formulated and implemented, then can the Aadhaar card become the sole data source for the entire country and its population for all the essential purposes?

Incidentally, the labour ministry on Wednesday pronounced that it will develop a national database for unorganised workers that will be seeded with Aadhaar. This comes quite late, given that 90% of India's workforce has been engaged in the unorganised sectors.

The private sector in the country has been better at collecting public data and leveraging it effectively using big data analytics.

The government still remains technologically, administratively and conceptually challenged to use public data meaningfully.

While the legal mechanism to protect individual data has been framed – the bill on data protection is pending to be cleared by Indian legislature – the government will do well to focus on collection of public data first.

一个国家,人们通常会减少统计由于庞大的人口,印度几乎没有任何有效的数据测量工具可以依靠,在一个迅速采取行动流感大流行,如Covid-19危机暴露了。

印度政府没有多少数据农民工在金融危机中失去了他们的生命。没有记录医疗保健人员的数量已经死亡的战斗冠状病毒。几乎没有任何实时跟踪机制了解最近的医院有病人需要的加护病房的床上。有差异中发现Covid-19卫生部公布的数据和通过印度医学研究理事会

六个月后推出,陪审团仍在的有效性Aarogya是以疾病预测和应用作为一种工具接触者追踪。它尚未了解了健康收集的数据通过应用程序是用于改善公共医疗保健。尽管如此,这并未阻止政府推出国民健康ID为每个个人——世界上最大的国家——在数字医疗方案流感大流行

顺便说一句,劳工部周三宣布,它将建立一个国家数据库将播种Aadhaar的非正式员工。这是很晚了,鉴于印度90%的劳动力从事非正式部门。

私营部门在这个国家已经在收集公共数据和更好的利用它有效地使用大数据分析。

政府仍然是技术上,管理上和概念上使用公共数据有意义的挑战。

虽然法律机制来保护个人数据被陷害——该法案在等待数据保护是通过印度立法机构——政府将首先关注公共数据的集合。
