Big Data Analytics for Policy Support

The primary focus of Big Data Analytics for Policy Support project is to develop a sophisticated data management system that consolidates diverse documents from various government departments into a unified access point. This centralized hub serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, domain experts, and data analysts, allowing them to easily search and analyze documents through visual dashboards. The front-facing website of this work can be accessed at Karnataka Data Lake: Policy Research using Big Data Analytics.

The other research direction of the project focuses on creating a comprehensive model library, which becomes a crucial asset for policymakers. This library not only aids in making informed decisions based on the current state but also looks ahead to anticipate future scenarios related to policy interventions. The ultimate aim of the Policy Support System (PSS) is to provide policymakers with a powerful tool that addresses current challenges related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while also proactively navigating the evolving landscape of policy dynamics.
