Bangalore Open DataCamp it is an annual conference that aims to create a space to discuss the challenges and experiences of using data in India with the aim of promoting an open data culture in government and the private sector.

Malnutrition, dengue, Swatchh Bharath, diabetes, breastfeeding, pollution, infant mortality, maternity health, polio, height, sitting all day

What do all these things have in common? They are all indicators of the health status of the general population, in other words the state of Public Health. It is universally accepted that a healthier population is smarter, more productive, create more economic opportunities, provide stability, and allow for more participation in public life.

How is India performing? What work is happening and what needs to be done? India's health indicators have not been matching its GDP growth. But what does that mean? What does the data say? What are the privacy concerns and how to we protect personal information?

Come share your experiences on accessing information on health!

DataMeet comprises a group of over 1500 people from across the country who share data, lessons, projects, and tools to improve the access and understanding of data. It is primarily a civic minded group that believe data and technology can add value to the lives of citizens.

Every year Bangalore DataMeet hosts open data event that looks at a particular theme through data. Two years ago we spent two days playing with Election data and freed the Parliamentary and Assembly Constituency shapefiles, last year we looked at education data and are working with the NCERT on trying to bring more data into the open.

Nisha Thompson is the Lead Organizer for DataMeet.
Thejesh GN is a Technologist who works with Mavrix, and DataMeet, and has a passion for open data.
