The Open Government Data (OGD) platform is aimed at supporting Open Data initiative of Government of India. The portal is used by various Ministries, Departments, and their organizations to publish datasets, documents, services, tools and applications collected by them for public use. It intended to increase transparency in the functioning of the Government and also opens avenues for many more innovative uses of Government Data to give different perspective.
The COVID-19 pandemic raised important questions about opening, sharing and using data, and highlighted the challenges associated with data use. To address the on-going need for data- driven decision making, OGD platform provided relevant datasets for sharing and analysis in an effort to accelerate coronavirus research. It enabled researchers to upload, access and analyse COVID-19-related reference data and specialist datasets. OGD portal provides COVID-19 data only as a graphic image unsuitable for any analysis.
