Ashoka Datalake Project
Our Datalake project introduces a comprehensive datalake designed to streamline data management across multiple disciplines. This platform serves as a one-stop shop for all data needs, facilitating dataset uploads and efficient data handling. With robust features including advanced visualizations (with 2D, 3D and maps), intuitive search functionalities, and versioning and provenance tracking, our datalake ensures that data is not only accessible but also meaningful.
Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our capabilities by integrating APIs that will allow for effortless data ingestion from external sources. This enhancement aims to simplify the merging of datasets from diverse origins, further empowering users to unlock valuable insights. By bridging the gap between data collection and data utilization, our datalake is set to become an essential tool in the landscape of data-driven decision-making.

Outreach Programs
Improving Lives Through Learning
At our center, we are committed to expanding the accessibility of data science and computer science knowledge through our targeted outreach programs. These initiatives are designed to empower both students and professionals from diverse fields such as healthcare and climate change, offering them specialized online training. Our courses are crafted to demystify data science and provide practical, real-world applications that enhance their work and research capabilities. Our most recent offering was PEDP (Professional and Executive Development Program) with a focus on training a cohort of data professionals with interdisciplinary subject-matter expertise in climate and health data. In collaboration with data.org, J-PAL SA, and CAN/IDCA as well a faculty composed of some of the top practitioners from both academia and industry, such as IITB, NUS, NIH, BluskyAnalytics, the PEDP program is training beginners as well as experienced professionals in the tools of data science. For other such offerings, take a look here!
Additionally, we provide internal support for colleagues within our organization who wish to familiarize themselves with our datalake technology or seek guidance on managing their data effectively. Whether it's mastering new tools or understanding data integration techniques, our center is here to assist in navigating the complexities of modern data management, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
