It presents a comprehensive analysis of the priorities and proposals in Union Budget 2017-18, focusing on social sectors (such as education, health, drinking water and sanitation, food security etc.) and the responsiveness of the Budget towards the vulnerable sections of the population (such as women, children, dalits, adivasis, religious minorities and urban poor). It also looks closely at the progressivity in the taxation policies adopted in the latest Budget.

You can access most of the Union Budget Documents in CSV here: https://openbudgetsindia.org/organization/about/union-budget. We have developed our own tech-stack based on computer vision and Tabula to convert PDFs to CSVs, take a peek here: https://github.com/cbgaindia/parsers

Open Budgets India(OBI) is a comprehensive and user-friendly open data portal that can facilitate free, easy and timely access to relevant data on government budgets in India. The portal provides budget information of different tiers of government in India (Union Budget, State Budgets, and Budgets of several Municipal Corporations across the country) in accessible and open (non-proprietary) formats.

This is an on-going project; in the coming months, we will work towards expanding the coverage of budget data available on the portal and present a greater proportion of the data in machine readable formats (i.e. CSVs and MS-Excel, instead of only PDFs). Moreover, we will also be adding a database for facilitating inter-State comparability of budget data across years. However, we believe it is necessary to carry out this expansion as an incremental, public process. Hence, we have made the beta version of OBI live and we are seeking feedback and suggestions (from all potential users) on how could this portal be made more useful in future.

Yes, we have already been associated with CRY from past 1 year to collect & monitor this data in Bangalore. We would be surely working to take issue of Malnourished Children in more focus using data analysis & visualization methods.

Pure Fun to play :D

Side-effects of using App Engine :(

This is a serious concern, Government and NGOs should come together for ensuring proper security of hospital and healthcare systems and software. Also, any kind of data breach can result into national level threats.

Undoubtedly Google has become this for most of the world, but still importance of URL can't be ignored, specially if you build your own apps :)
