eSankhyiki, India’s premier platform for statistical data dissemination, run by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation now has 134 million records in its repository within seven months of its launch in June 2024.
This milestone highlights India’s commitment to leveraging data for evidence-based policymaking and its leadership in advancing global statistical practices.
Developed using open-source tools and in-house expertise, eSankhyiki provides a comprehensive repository of time-series data across key domains, including National Accounts Statistics (NAS), Price Statistics, NSS Surveys, Economic Census, and Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
The platform empowers researchers, policymakers, businesses, and citizens with user-friendly dashboards that allow filtering, visualization, and data export in multiple formats through APIs in line with the principals of Data as public good.
This achievement aligns with India’s role as a member of the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), reinforcing its global commitment to statistical excellence and open data.
eSankhyiki demonstrates India’s adherence to international standards in data dissemination and its dedication to promoting data-driven governance and sustainable development. This achievement underscores ministry’s commitment to making data accessible and useful for public and decision-makers.
Looking ahead, MoSPI plans to expand the repository with new datasets, introduce AI-powered search capabilities, and offer advanced features such as personalized dashboards and interactive infographics to further enhance user experience.
