Assessing the Quality of District Data for Improved Planning and Monitoring of Development Programmes
An attempt to simplify the processes of assessing the quality of data from the perspective of
improved planning and tracking of feasible Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators at the
district level have been worked out after a review of development data generated by various
national flagship programmes in two districts each in Karnataka and Rajasthan with good and notso-
good data systems in the country. The present guide is an outcome of this study and the
approaches proposed in the guide are pragmatic and can be easily comprehended by statistical
officers through self-reading and a quick orientation.
