&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* What are the main provisions of the draft document? Is the Government going to monetise public data?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The story so far: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) on February 21, 2022 released a policy proposal titled as, &amp;ldquo;Draft India Data Accessibility &amp;amp; Use Policy, 2022&amp;rdquo;. The policy aims to, &amp;ldquo;radically transform India&amp;rsquo;s ability to harness public sector data&amp;rdquo;. The proposals of the Draft Data Accessibility Policy has been in the spotlight for permitting the licensing and sale of public data by the Government to the private sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Why has the Draft Data Accessibility Policy been proposed?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The generation of citizen data is slated to increase exponentially in the next decade and become a cornerstone of India&amp;rsquo;s $5 trillion-dollar digital economy. The policy objectives and purpose drawn from this understanding are primarily commercial in nature following the rationale of the National Economic Survey, 2019 which at Chapter 4 noted the commercial benefits of Government data exploitation, notably, &amp;ldquo;The private sector may be granted access to select databases for commercial use&amp;hellip;Given that the private sector has the potential to reap massive dividends from this data, it is only fair to charge them for its use.&amp;rdquo; It aims to harness the economic value of the generated data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A background note that accompanies the policy outlines existing bottlenecks in data sharing and use which includes the absence of a body for policy monitoring and enforcement of data sharing efforts, absence of technical tools and standards for data sharing, identification of high value datasets and licensing and valuation frameworks. It indicates a way forward to unlock the high value of data across the economy, congruent and robust governance strategy, making Government data interoperable and instilling data skills and culture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* What are the main provisions of the draft document? Is the Government going to monetise public data?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The story so far: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) on February 21, 2022 released a policy proposal titled as, &amp;ldquo;Draft India Data Accessibility &amp;amp; Use Policy, 2022&amp;rdquo;. The policy aims to, &amp;ldquo;radically transform India&amp;rsquo;s ability to harness public sector data&amp;rdquo;. The proposals of the Draft Data Accessibility Policy has been in the spotlight for permitting the licensing and sale of public data by the Government to the private sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Why has the Draft Data Accessibility Policy been proposed?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The generation of citizen data is slated to increase exponentially in the next decade and become a cornerstone of India&amp;rsquo;s $5 trillion-dollar digital economy. The policy objectives and purpose drawn from this understanding are primarily commercial in nature following the rationale of the National Economic Survey, 2019 which at Chapter 4 noted the commercial benefits of Government data exploitation, notably, &amp;ldquo;The private sector may be granted access to select databases for commercial use&amp;hellip;Given that the private sector has the potential to reap massive dividends from this data, it is only fair to charge them for its use.&amp;rdquo; It aims to harness the economic value of the generated data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A background note that accompanies the policy outlines existing bottlenecks in data sharing and use which includes the absence of a body for policy monitoring and enforcement of data sharing efforts, absence of technical tools and standards for data sharing, identification of high value datasets and licensing and valuation frameworks. It indicates a way forward to unlock the high value of data across the economy, congruent and robust governance strategy, making Government data interoperable and instilling data skills and culture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Understanding the Draft India Data Accessibility & Use Policy, 2022 -Anushka Jain and Apar Gupta

-The Hindu * What are the main provisions of the draft document? Is the Government going to monetise public data? The story so far: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) on February 21, 2022 released a policy proposal titled as, “Draft India Data Accessibility & Use Policy, 2022”. The policy aims to, “radically transform India’s ability to harness public sector data”. The proposals of the Draft Data Accessibility Policy has been in the spotlight for permitting the licensing and sale of public data by the Government to the private sector. * Why has the Draft Data Accessibility Policy been proposed? The generation of citizen data is slated to increase exponentially in the next decade and become a cornerstone of India’s $5 trillion-dollar digital economy. The policy objectives and purpose drawn from this understanding are primarily commercial in nature following the rationale of the National Economic Survey, 2019 which at Chapter 4 noted the commercial benefits of Government data exploitation, notably, “The private sector may be granted access to select databases for commercial use…Given that the private sector has the potential to reap massive dividends from this data, it is only fair to charge them for its use.” It aims to harness the economic value of the generated data. A background note that accompanies the policy outlines existing bottlenecks in data sharing and use which includes the absence of a body for policy monitoring and enforcement of data sharing efforts, absence of technical tools and standards for data sharing, identification of high value datasets and licensing and valuation frameworks. It indicates a way forward to unlock the high value of data across the economy, congruent and robust governance strategy, making Government data interoperable and instilling data skills and culture.  Please click here to read more.
