The Prime Minister's Office is using big data techniques to process ideas thrown up by citizens on its crowdsourcing platform mygov.in, place them in context of the popular mood as reflected in trends on social media, and generate actionable reports for ministries and departments to consider and implement.
The Modi government has roped in global consulting firm PwC to assist in the data mining exercise, and now wants to elevate Mygov.in platform from a one-way flow of citizens' ideas to a dialogue where the government keeps them abreast of some of the actions that emerge from their brainstorming.
"There is a large professional data analytics team working behind the scenes to process and filter key points emerging from debates on mygov.in, gauge popular mood about particular issues from social media sites like Twitter and Facebook," said a senior official aware of the development, adding that these are collated into special reports about possible action points that are shared with the PMO and line ministries.
Ministries are being asked to revert with an action taken report on these ideas and policy suggestions currently being generated on 19 different policy challenges such as expenditure reforms, job creation, energy conservation, skill development and government initiatives such as Clean India, Digital India and Clean Ganga.
With the PM inviting Indian communities in America and Australia to join the online platform, which he has termed a 'mass movement towards Surajya', the traffic handling capacity of mygov.in is being scaled up consistently, the official said.
