India's Statistical System Modernizes for a Digital Economy

India's Statistical System Modernizes for a Digital Economy

Imagine India's economy is like a fast-moving car, and we need a good map to see where it's going.

The old maps (surveys) are still important, but they're not enough.

The government is updating how it measures the economy by using new tools like phone data, store scanners, and satellite info.

They're holding workshops to learn how to use this new data responsibly, with a focus on what data we need and why.

This will help make better decisions about how the country grows and helps its people.
