Enhancing Budget Accountability in India
The limited availability of relevant and accessible information on budgets in India at different levels of government has been hindering an effective participation of various stakeholders in the policy making process. In this context, Center for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA) has developed an open data portal: Open Budgets India, to facilitate free, easy and timely access to the relevant data on government budgets in India. This portal contains over 20,000 datasets and documents on government budgets. In addition, the portal also has several dashboards, visualizations and relevant analytics that can be used for analysis and furthering policy engagement. Under this initiative, a series of publications have been developed.
