Build data portal for finance commission, says Panagariya

The government should build a data portal for data collected by the finance commission to bring “continuity”, said Arvind Panagariya, chairman, 16th Finance Commission, at an event on Saturday.

While speaking the 18th Statistics Day event, Panagariya said that “someone (government agency) needs to take the lead to create the data portal on a permanent basis for the finance commission, so that work can be smoothened out in the future”.
