Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) launched a revamped Microdata Portal during a conference of State Government Ministers. In a statement, MOSPI called this a significant step in enhancing data accessibility, user experience, and the integration of advanced technologies in the Official Statistical System. It said that the new portal, which serves as a centralized repository for extensive statistical data collected from national surveys and economic census overcomes technological limitations faced by the previous portal. In collaboration with the World Bank Technology Team, MOSPI has adopted a modern, scalable technology stack that not only ensures compliance with the latest security standards but also supports a responsive design and data access mechanism.

On this occasion, the website of the National Statistical System Training Academy was also launched. MOSPI said that the website will facilitate ease of access to information regarding the capacity-building initiative of the ministry by making it available in one place.
