India's first policy-oriented research network dedicated to issues of data governance
In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the usage of data in India's economic and governmental activities. Dynamic and emerging technologies have made it difficult to disregard the requirement for effective data governance frameworks and regulations. This should come as no surprise that the government prioritizes data protection and security because it is the most valuable asset in current times.
In 2019, the country’s leading think tanks and research organizations joined forces to form the Data Governance Network (DGN) - India's first policy-oriented research network dedicated to issues of data governance. The DGN envisions generating cutting-edge research that can support the creation of a safe and equitable data ecosystem in India. This shall embrace in creating the foundation for equitable, safe, and inclusive data governance frameworks in India.
