Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Karnataka launched Tathyakosh.in, a centralised digital public good platform designed to simplify the discovery of fragmented public data across India. Developed by the ACSEL Technology Forum, Karnataka’s Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, in collaboration with the IIT Alumni Centre Bengaluru, the platform integrates more than 1.5 million datasets from 458 data sources. Tathyakosh functions as a discovery tool rather than storing datasets directly, redirecting users to original sources to preserve data ownership and provenance. It is particularly useful for startups and researchers working in healthcare, agriculture, climate research, and financial inclusion.
