Amplifi 2.0: Urban Affairs Ministry’s Data Initiative For Indian cities

• The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in India has embarked on a groundbreaking initiative to centralize and streamline raw data from cities across the country. Launched as the Amplifi 2.0 (Assessment and Monitoring Platform for Liveable, Inclusive and Future-ready urban India) portal, this endeavor aims to facilitate data-driven policy-making, empower academics, researchers, and engage stakeholders in the urban development process.
• The platform, operational for three weeks, has successfully onboarded 225 urban local bodies (ULB), with data currently available for 150 cities. However, the process revealed a significant challenge—lack of data maturity in cities. As a result, only 150 ULBs were initially able to share their data. In response, the Ministry sent data quality parameters to all cities, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive and reliable data.
