‘It is planning to develop minimum standards to enhance availability’

The Tamil Nadu Government will improve suo motu publication of data under the Right to Information Act on the websites of government departments, said Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management Palanivel Thiaga Rajan here on Monday.

To a question raised during the discussion following the launch of the book Whole Numbers and Half Truths, authored by journalist S. Rukmini, he said the non-publication was partly because of non-availability of data.

He said a big problem was that the structure of government was not designed to collate data and make it available in a timely manner even for those who were governing, let alone making it available for the public. “A lot of times, it is not intentional obfuscation, but the data simply does not exist or does not exist in a way that is publishable,” he said.

Mr. Thiaga Rajan added that the government was planning to streamline and develop certain minimum standards that will significantly improve such availability of data in the next couple of years. He said the State Government also had scope for conducting its own sample surveys similar to those done by the National Sample Survey Office to improve availability of data for decision making.
