ETIG analysis: How Covid has exposed India’s data-centric inadequacies


For a rustic the place individuals typically get diminished to statistics given the humongous inhabitants, India hardly has any effective data measurement tools that may be relied upon and swung into motion amidst a pandemic, as the continued Covid-19 disaster has uncovered.

The Indian administration does not have data on what number of migrant employees misplaced their lives through the disaster. There isn’t any record of the variety of healthcare workers which have died preventing the coronavirus. There’s hardly any real-time monitoring mechanism to know the closest hospital having an ICU mattress for a affected person needing one. There was discrepancy discovered within the Covid-19 information reported by the well being ministry and that by the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Absence of any information document relieves the authorities of their legal responsibility and obliviate any query of compensation whereas leaving hundreds of thousands of individuals with no pay safety through the necessary lockdowns and quarantines.

Six months after its launch, the jury remains to be out on the effectiveness of Aarogya Setu app as a instrument for illness prediction and contact tracing. It’s but to be seen how the well being information collected by the app goes for use in bettering public healthcare within the nation. Nonetheless, this has not prevented the federal government to roll out a nationwide well being ID for each particular person – the world’s largest nationwide digital well being scheme – amidst the pandemic.

If ‘one country-one tax’ and ‘one country-one card’ will be formulated and carried out, then can the Aadhaar card turn into the only information supply for your complete nation and its inhabitants for all of the important functions?

By the way, the labour ministry on Wednesday pronounced that it’s going to develop a nationwide database for unorganised employees that will probably be seeded with Aadhaar. This comes fairly late, provided that 90% of India’s workforce has been engaged within the unorganised sectors.

The personal sector within the nation has been higher at amassing public information and leveraging it successfully utilizing huge information analytics.

The federal government nonetheless stays technologically, administratively and conceptually challenged to make use of public information meaningfully.

Whereas the authorized mechanism to guard particular person information has been framed – the invoice on information safety is pending to be cleared by Indian legislature – the federal government will do nicely to concentrate on assortment of public information first.
