Thread: At @dataforin our mission is not just to advance the understanding of India through data, but also to be equal partners in making Indian data better. For this, we publish work in our Measurement section ( https://t.co/EHb84y2bl1) on what works and doesn't in key datasets

🧵 One of the most important parts of what we do at @dataforin is to engage with the datasets that we work with. We are committed to using public data, typically large govt household surveys, for their unparalleled scope and quality. But when we see issues, we write about them.

A really nice explainer on Indian Population projections and their track record. I wish RGI would start adding confidence intervals to their projections. @pramit_b @Rukmini

Our Letter to Editor, EPW
While it was “safe” to cast and count votes during the delta or omicron variant of COVID-19, the reasons for delaying the census in the name of the welfare of the people and for the better interest of the citizens of the country appears highly unsettling.
