Rural Analytics

Rural Analytics is a project I previously worked on to aggregate and analyze the development budgets of India's villages. All gram panchayats (village governance units) in India make Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs), where they budget how to spend money they receive from the state and central government. I worked with researchers from the Global Priorities Institute, Oxford and Center for Effective Governance of Indian States (CEGIS) to assist with their projects on better understanding and improving rural governance. Please find my data on the GPDPs of all gram panchayats in India for FY 2023-24 below. If you have any questions, you can reach me at ishankhire [at] gmail [dot] com.
