Under 6th pillar of digital India Initiative, Open Government Data Platform is endeavoring share of Government data in open domain to improve openness and transparency between Government and the public, encouraging participation of the community and emphasizing data driven decision making to enable the delivery of integrated services.

Structured data available in open format and open license for public access and use, usually termed as “Open Data,” it allows citizens and businesses to find new ways to use it and to create new innovative products and services. The Open Government Data initiative started in India with the notification of the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP), on 17th March 2012 & in pursuance of the policy, the Open Government Data Platform India (data.gov.in) was launched in 2012.

Data also is one of the most valuable resources of modern governance, sharing of which enables various and non-exclusive usages for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. Associating an Open License with Open Data is necessary to ensure the legal grounding for its potential reuse and also is crucial to ensure that such data is not misused or misinterpreted (for example, by insisting on proper attribution), and that all users have the same and permanent right to use the data. For a data user wishing to use and build on top of public data, they require assurance of what they legally can and can’t do with the data both commercially and non-commercially. To promote access to publicly held information, promoting transparency and enabling wider economic and social gain, need has been felt in the Government that there must be an Open Government Data Use License.

Government Open Data Use License - India has been drafted by the Suresh Chandra (Law Secretary, Department of Legal Affairs) Committee. After several rounds of discussions and deliberations the committee has finalized the draft of the license.

General public and stake-holders including open data community members, professionals, academicians, data scientists, NGOs, institutions, government bodies, etc. in the field of open data production, consumption and management are hereby solicited to send their suggestions on draft Government Open Data Use License - India.

You are requested to type your suggestion in the given box. Please mention the Clause number on which you want to suggest.Please put a ‘#’ sign before the Clause number. You can refer the following example:
#Clause4: Followed by your Suggestion.

You can also upload a pdf file compiling all your suggestions.

1. I think the first & foremost requirement is to induct strict discipline in the management of both the house of Parliament. The way the members behave & conduct in the house is worse than a primary school class room. Viewing the conduct of the session, is a horrifying experience. 2. The Govt officers in all offices/ deptt be made more accountable & responsible. Any thing going wrong, the head of office be hold responsible, irrespective of any staff doing wrongly & unfairly.

Yes, we should be able to access the data. Transparency is very needed now to stop corruption. Meanwhile the finance details should not become a treat where people use it to blackmail departments or other countries will know the details of Indian confidential data,

When it comes for transparency, govt should identify most corrupt department like revenue & stamp, RTO, municipal etc. As part of Digital India initiative, govt should make all these department accessible online. Registry request should be register online, RTO driving license process should be online. One India Oe road tax is pending for many years. Govt knows which department is most corrupted, they just need to control them gradually.

The government has to ban the cinema, TV serial and most of the programmes are showing and damaging our Indian culture. And particularly TV Program are showing obscene dance program, unwanted family disputes, dispute between husband and wife having husband, two or more women connections, murder, rape and corruption etc. This will affect the growing children as well as matured men and women mentality. Hope that you will take necessity steps ASAP.

Data driven decision making is the order of the day. Large no of data available with government can be explosive when right people curate it to further the economic cause or organizational goals. Gallup.com and other portals give immense data collected by the government. Data can be sliced as per states or territories or even cities and local regions and provided to various stakeholders who are able to then make informed decisions to grow their own entity

It has been observed that majority of the cinema, TV serial and other program are showing the culture opposite to the Indian culture. Moreover the majority of the TV program are showing murder,rap, corruption all the day and night . It will affect the child's and commom people's mantality . In indian culture it is touhgt that good things should be seen,discussed and heard. So I request to ensure the existance of Indian Cultural Values in chinemas and programs of all TV channels.
