It's Time to Raise a Toast to Goodwill & Good Times

India has launched a major initiative under the title: Digital India. It is projected that the basic aim of undertaking such an exercise is to bring in transparency and effectiveness in government functioning. In other words itisan effort to provide best services at lowest cost to the common man and at the same time remove hassles for him. Large data dealing is also basically important for business operating in the globalised economy. Data generation in one part, its analysis, storage and retrieval is the otherside ofthe story. Both ofthese elements are equally important and the big data has relevance and significance only if it is backed-up with appropriate analytics. The tremendous impact that digital services have had on government and society has been the subject of expensive research that has documented the rapid, extensive adoption by public sector of digital services around the globe. Experts believe that the coming data revolution will be more deeply transformational and that data enablement will produce radical shift in the public sector's quality of service, empowering governments to deliver better constituent service, better policy outcome and amore productive operations.
