Q. Which ministry has launched the Microdata Portal during the State Government Ministers Conference?
Answer: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation
Notes: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) launched a new Microdata Portal during the State Government Ministers’ Conference to improve data access and user experience. The portal, built with help from the World Bank Technology Team, uses a modern and secure technology stack. It stores national survey and economic census data and removes old technical issues. National Statistical System Training Academy (NSSTA) website was also launched to help with training information. MOSPI also showed a Proof of Concept (PoC) for an Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) based tool to simplify National Industrial Classification (NIC) code search using natural language queries. These steps highlight MOSPI’s efforts to use technology for better data, planning, and achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India).
