KEY POINTS
· Development process is intrinsically data-driven. Data which are reliable, timely and at disaggregated levels are quintessential for evidence-based policymaking.
· The response to the Covid-19 pandemic, has essentially been data-centric, from determining adequate levels of testing, changing positivity rates and their implication to monitoring of fatality rates.
· The uneven diffusion of technology across sections of society has produced digital haves and have-nots. The implications of such digital divide are reflected in term of massive differences in the modes of data generation.
· Data for digitally-integrated sections of society can be accessed from many unconventional sources like social media platforms and e-commerce platforms very quickly and at much disaggregated levels.
· Reduction in non-sampling errors leads to better quality of data. The non-response and partial response rates come down due to less stress in the questionnaire canvassing exercise on both the field investigators and respondents.
· Besides, the entire data collection exercise can be monitored in real time and prompt corrections are inserted wherever and whenever required. The possibilities of wrong entries and other human errors are effectively ruled out.
· The burgeoning concerns with respect to data confidentiality and privacy can be tackled at an initial stage with the help of advanced encryption technologies.
· The entire exercise of data collection is technology-driven through the deployment of handheld devices to collect responses, to integration of emerging technologies like geo-fencing.
