The foremost aim of the National Data Governance Framework Policy, according to the Government of India, is to help deliver better and more responsive governance to the citizens, especially in areas of social importance that include agriculture, healthcare, law and justice, and education among others. This depends on being able to adopt a data-driven approach towards governance, program evaluation and service delivery. The policy would play a role in promoting transparency, accountability and ownership in non-personal data and datasets access.
