NCDG

Defining Data

For data to be meaningful, its context needs to be clear. NCDG is a first step in creating a solid foundation to move data governance forward. It helps stakeholders across your organization collaboratively agree on the definitions, rules, and policies that define your data and manage reviews and approvals. And it makes this information easily accessible to every data citizen for faster adoption.

Data Governance and Data Protection

For decision support truthful and total information should be available in time. However is data is growing in various forms ( emails, spread sheets, documents, images, drawings, scanned documents etc.,) at different geo-graphical locations.
Searching and locating, retrieving information and ensuring its relevancy and currency is a challenging task. Most of the times 60% to 80% of efforts are wasted in collecting and consolidating the information which is already available in the organization due to lack of Data Governance system.
Secure transportation, transformation to desired form, validation, quality assurance, consolidation and safe storage is next big challenge.In some organizations due to heavy and regular transactions, the data grows exponentially, and the organizations do not use the data other than for transactions management.
Preservation and protection of information from potential abuses and safeguarding it against ransomware and other cyber attacks is another big task. Classification, compression and management of big data and analysis of data for deep learning and decision support are essential to maximize the benefits of the automation.
To meet these growing challenges, the NIC, Centre for Data Governance provides following data governance services to the Government organisations
Data Profiling, Confidentiality, Security, Privacy, Referential Integrity, Storage, Management of Big Data Data Archival , Document Storage and Retrieval, Analysis of data, Data Governance Audit & Training Data Governance Standards for stewardship and storage, Data Encryption and Protection, Data Quality Management, Referential Integrity, Data Transformation, Legal and Regulatory Compliance, Meta Data Management, Big Data Analytics and Intelligence.

CONTEXT : DATA IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY EVERY DAY

The Data is started living in several locations across the organisation.
Right data is often invisible to the decision makers in time.
Sixty to eighty percent of efforts are going to re-collect the already digitized data.
Even if data is available, its true value is not realized due to various constraints at present.
The data being published has to comply to Aadhaar Act, Cyber Laws, Public Records Act, Freedom of Information Acts, Financial Compliance, Compliance to local Government rules, Legal and legislative guidelines, RTI Acts, GOs, Procedures besides the cyber security guidelines.
The day to day increase in the incidents of cyber-crimes, and ransomware attacks has necessitated the importance of data protection even by individuals.
So data security should be part of storage and sharing process in the Government organisations.
Hence NIC has established Centre for Data Governance.
Data has becoming a complex asset. So Data Governance is vital for present day organisations.
To achieve objectives of Digital India, and UN SDGs, a proper Data Governance Framework is vital for India.
