Data analytics will be among ourmost important tools in helping to understand such large-scale information.A data scientist is someone who is better at statistics than any softwareengineer and better at software engineering than any statistician.The ability to take data to be able to understand it, to process it, to extractvalue from it, to visualize it, to communicate it that's going to be a hugely important skillin the next decades.
The Indian governmenthas launched a Big DataInitiative. It aims at ensuring the government services are madeavailable to citizens electronically by reducing paperwork. The OpenGovernment Data Platform, data.gov.in, created by NIC for Indian government departments and ministries for easy andopen access by citizens.

One of the major issues of the government istimely tracking of projects for public good, monitoring and tracking the directbenefit transfer for poor people. There is a silent revolution happening inthis side in the government's approach to deal with these burning issues.
