database technology for disseminating

census results

• About Censusinfo India 2011 Dashboard• An animated dashboard giving a single view

consolidated report on Census results has been developed using DevInfo database technology and is being presented here.

• Built on CensusInfo technology, the Censusinfo 2011 Dashboard provides a single-view visual report on House listing data at district and PCA data at sub-district level collected in the country’s latest census round.

Censusinfo India 2011 (Houselisting data) Software released in Nov. 2012

Census 2011 Data available in the Software for data users

The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), in partnership with UNICEF, UNFPA, and Census of India has developed a free software package—CensusInfo—to help countries disseminate census data.

• This database software has been developed with the cooperation of the UN system. The product has been adapted from UNICEF ChildInfo technology.

Free Software package - CENSUSINFO India 2011

• CensusInfo India software is a database system that provides a method to organize, store and display data in a uniform format to facilitate census data sharing at the country level across government departments and UN agencies using the same system.

OBJECTIVE

Often, census results are disseminated only in a tabular format—whether in print publications or on the web—which potential data users find unappealing.

Interested data users often encounter language and other data access barriers (for example, the data is restricted or only available in print form).

For census data to be truly useful, should be provided in an interactive manner along with tools for visualization and analysis.

• UNICEF is supporting the Government of India in the CensusInfo 2011 Dashboard initiative, with the objective of making the latest census data more accessible to all stakeholders in a user-friendly manner, thereby promoting greater use of data for development.

OBJECTIVE

• Based on the DevInfo platform, specific functionalities have been developed to meet the specific requirements for Census data (House listing & PCA, 2011) dissemination: enhanced performance, data importing, standard and user-defined reports for dissemination at any geographical level, and mapping facilities.
