A recent op-ed in the @businessline by Dr Payal Seth, Lead Economist at @PahleIndia, is renewing the debate over where India's #CSR money actually goes. Built on structured data from Dataful, the analysis finds that CSR spending stays concentrated in richer states and proposes ways to direct funds toward areas that need them more. Read about what Dr Payal had to say about Dataful. We are glad to see Dataful's data contributing to this conversation. This is exactly what we are enabling with Dataful: providing clean, structured, time-series data ready for analysis so researchers and experts can focus on the right questions rather than on this time-consuming data readiness work.
