Abstract

As per Gartner, Big Data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that demand cost effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision making. Big Data is data whose scale, diversity, and complexity require new architecture, techniques, algorithms, and analytics to manage it and extraict value and hidden knowledge from both structured and unstructured data. Such large data is difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. One of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st century is to effectively understand and make use of the vast amount of information being produced. Data analytics will be among our most important tools in helping to understand such large-scale information. Researchers from India are active, in the fields of astrophysics, materials science, earth and atmospheric observations, energy, computational biology, bioinformatics, cognitive science, statistics etc., which generate a lot of data. To deal with these data it requires the development of advanced algorithms, visualization techniques, data streaming methodologies and analytics. Keeping in mind the momentum that big data analytics is gaining in India, there is a need to build a sustainable eco-system that brings in a strong partnership across the industry players, government, and academia. With this objective, the Indian government has launched a Big Data Initiative. Digital India is an initiative of Government of India to integrate the government departments and the people of India. It aims at ensuring the government services are made available to citizens electronically by reducing paperwork. The NIC has created the Open Government Data portal, data.gov.in. Currently 85 government ministries, departments and agencies have contributed more than 12,000 datasets across segments such as population census, water and sanitation, health and family welfare, transportation and agriculture to data.gov.in. Present government’s pet project of building ‘one hundred smart cities’ which has been allocated Rs 7,060 crores is another major project that would rely strongly on technology, calling for a robust cloud computing backend coupled with real-time surveillance and big data analytics technologies. The UID-Aadhar project will be the largest such citizen database.

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India

Big data techniques for extracting insight from data arising out of demonetization, digitization and cashless economy initiatives of India Ajit Kumar Roy Central Agricultural University, India The digital economy is rapidly developing worldwide as the largest driver of innovation, competition, and growth. Even though many people have been excluded, tremendous opportunities are available for the digital economy to support ﬁnancial inclusion for sustainable economic development. India could see a boost of $700 billion, an 11.8% increase by 2025. This additional GDP could create up to 21 million jobs. McKinsey has estimated that Indians lose more than $2 billion a year in forgone income simply because of the time it takes travelling to and from a bank. India aims to create a cleaner, more transparent economy via digitalization that will lead to an improved climate for foreign investment, boost economic growth. Goldman Sachs predicts that India - comprising 15% of the world populat...

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland

Quantitative Assessment of Trend of Water Area Development, Fish Production, Fish Seed Production Over Successive Plan Periods of Nagaland March 2013 Projects: Fisheries/Aquaculture Econometrics/Statistics Ajit kumar Roy Anil Upadhyay Khriezhato Nakhro Abstract A complete account of fisheries resources that includes rivers, lakes, bheels pond and tanks along with Government initiatives for fisheries development are compiled for Nagaland well known for its fish biodiversity. In spite of the available resources, in terms of aquaculture production the state of Nagaland could not make visible impact so far. The meager production of the state is still far from self-sufficient and this can be attributed to a number of constraints such as land locke...

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.
