Introduction
 
Data Dissemination ensures that the statistics
produced are made public for the use of the audience
at large.
Production of statistics does not carry enough weight
unless it is made palatable for public consumption
with comparability and potential for concrete
interpretation.
The dissemination of statistics nowadays is not only
confined within the boundaries of the nation but also
across the nation.
 
India and SDMX
 
Under the MoU , EuroStat offered assistance to SDMX project
in India under framework of “EU Project on ICT
Standardization”
Initiated SDMX in the domain of National Accounts-started
with Quarterly NA. Intended to be extended to Annual NA.
Further the same has been  extended to the NSDP, India.
India for SDMX intends to onboard and thereby collaborate
with major data provider/generator agencies namely Central
Bank, M/o Finance, other Central/State agencies which are
routinely generating official Statistics Data.
RBI already shares information in SDMX format with BIS.
 
Data Warehouse
 
The NSO India is also in the process of setting up a
Data Warehouse with the objective to address the
various national and international data requirements.
It would also act as central repository of all the statistical data
collected by various ministries/ other Agencies generating
Administrative data.
It further aims at leveraging big data analytical tools to improve
the quality of macro-economic aggregates.
It is pragmatic that the data Warehouse is compatible
with SDMX requirement.
 
India and SDMX
 
India’s economy has a large chunk of the informal sector;
the data source of which is primarily the NSS surveys under
NSO India.
The NSO conducts large scale sample surveys on routine
and as per requirements.
The surveys generate large scale data related to various
socio-economic phenomenon.
In most of the developing nations, estimation procedure
rely to a large extent on the socio-economic surveys.
Until SDMX platform is extended to data/results of socio-
economic surveys the objectives behind envisaging SDMX
platform would remain unfulfilled.
 
Challenges and its remedies
 
Awareness: SDMX being a new domain, more awareness
emphasizing its importance needs to be spread.
Capacity Building: Regular trainings of officials at various levels
are required for proper understanding its concepts
Shifting of officials : In order to cope up with the issue more and
more officials needs to be thoroughly trained in this area.
 
Way Forward
 
Expand the domain of the SDMX to be at par with other
developed nations.
Expand SDMX on socio-economic surveys
Requires onboarding of more agencies within the implementing
countries to expedite the conversion to SDMX compatible
format.
A large amount of data is already on web which may be
attempted for SDMX conversion so as to have larger time series
of data for better analysis.
Regular trainings for capacity building.

Data dissemination in India plays a crucial role in making statistics accessible and understandable to the public. The usage of SDMX for exchanging statistical data metadata aims to enhance comparability and interpretation, enabling collaboration with major data agencies. Challenges lie in extending the platform to encompass socio-economic surveys. Initiatives like setting up a Data Warehouse by NSO India demonstrate efforts towards meeting national and international data needs, aligning with SDMX requirements.

  3. Introduction Data Dissemination ensures that the statistics produced are made public for the use of the audience at large. Production of statistics does not carry enough weight unless it is made palatable for public consumption with comparability and potential for concrete interpretation. The dissemination of statistics nowadays is not only confined within the boundaries of the nation but also across the nation.

  4. India and SDMX Under the MoU , EuroStat offered assistance to SDMX project in India under framework of EU Project on ICT Standardization Initiated SDMX in the domain of National Accounts-started with Quarterly NA.

India for SDMX intends to onboard and thereby collaborate with major data provider/generator agencies namely Central Bank, M/o Finance, other Central/State agencies which are routinely generating official Statistics Data.

  5. Data Warehouse The NSO India is also in the process of setting up a Data Warehouse with the objective to address the various national and international data requirements. It would also act as central repository of all the statistical data collected by various ministries/ other Agencies generating Administrative data. It further aims at leveraging big data analytical tools to improve the quality of macro-economic aggregates. It is pragmatic that the data Warehouse is compatible with SDMX requirement.
