About Us
DIU is built on the foundation of public data for public good. We collaborate with governments, institutions, and development stakeholders to harness data wisdom transforming fragmented datasets into actionable intelligence. Our work drives policy innovation, governance effectiveness, and grassroots impact, ensuring that data informs decisions in real time and strengthens systems for equitable development.
Our Vision
The unit seeks to exploit India’s vast statistical infrastructure and employ mixed methods research methods to generate and build the evidence base for rural. The initiative aims to democratize data by building data systems that work for its users and enable the government to ensure equitable public service delivery with the focus in rural India. It is a fresh approach of complimenting data expertise with sectoral depth in rural development.
