The Data Room
The official numbers, made explorable
Nineteen interactive explorers built on India's official surveys, the Union Budget, administrative records and open academic data. Together they follow one story, from a child's first reading test to the wage economy, the ballot box and the planet's fair share. Each starts from a plain-language question, and every figure links to its source and is checked against the published reports. See all nineteen in The Data Room →
