Development interventions are often based on ground-level experiences. These experiences can be further enriched and strengthened by using appropriate publicly available data-bases. This webinar will discuss how publicly available large databases can be used in planning and designing development interventions, thus making use of data for larger public good.

Join the conversation between Amalendu Jyotishi and Neeraj Hatekar as they talk about their fascinating work on using publicly available large data sets to narrate development stories from the ground.
