Abstract
The paper analyses the recently approved and implemented
government data policy (National Data Sharing and Accessibility
Policy) in India, and identifies the possibility and need of
expanding and integrating it within the larger national egovernance
and information policy ecosystem. The study draws
from an ongoing research project on the Indian government data
policy and the roles played by data intermediary organisations.
The paper argues that an expanded and integrated open
government data agenda will address crucial shortcomings of the
national e-governance initiatives in India, and strengthen
democratic interactions between the state and citizens through
electronic and other means.
