Datanet India has launched the much needed District Factbooks for India which will provide the compiled publications of the latest district level socio-economic data. These data will be available for 560 out of 640 districts in India for over 15 categories. Datanet India is in the business of collecting and compiling district level data for past 15 years and has 720 web sites.
Earlier these district level data, collected through government agencies, were not available on one platform and the government publications were published late. Datanet Factbook will help simplify the work process of collecting data by compiling all the data and making them available on one portal. All passionate data-seekers would benefit from this one-stop data guide to make out easily where the district stands in the Indian platform. The statistical data, maps, graphs and charts shown offer the exhaustive information about a particular districts. Considering the potential usage of these District Factbooks, these are being made available online at its portal www.datanetindia-ebooks.com and are also being offered in print, eBook and web access formats to cover the vastly scattered users.
These socio-economic data are mainly used for the district level strategic planning and research by the policy makers, academicians, researchers and marketers to assess the status of a particular district on various socio-economic parameters. These data would further help in comparing different districts within a state and also with the nation.
