The National Sample Survey Office (NSO), under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), launched the GoIStats mobile application on Statistics Day 2025. This initiative is a significant milestone in India’s commitment to making official statistics accessible and user-centric for all citizens.
The GoIStats mobile application represents NSO’s vision of creating an all-encompassing data ecosystem where every stakeholder can seamlessly access official data on the go. The application features an interactive “Key Trends” dashboard showcasing important socio-economic indicators with dynamic visualizations of critical metrics including GDP, inflation, employment data. Users gain direct access to NSO’s database through the “Products” section, featuring one-click CSV downloads. Advanced filtering and search capabilities with comprehensive metadata, and mobile-optimized data tables are also available for seamless viewing.
The app’s visual data storytelling capabilities include a curated infographics section that transforms complex statistics into digestible insights, interactive charts and graphs with contextual explanations, social sharing features to promote data literacy across communities, and complete source attribution for each visualization following principles of transparency and trust. A comprehensive publication section provides users with the access to NSO reports and publications with instant download functionality. Regular updates aligned with NSO’s publication calendar are provided to the user with app notification facility. Feedback mechanism for continuous app improvement, a user-friendly interface and direct communication channels through the “Contact Us” section are some of the features designed for user empowerment. Currently the android version of mobile application is available free of charge on google play store. The iOS version will be released shortly. This initiative completes the ideal digital bouquet of website, portal and mobile app expected from a data producing organization.
GoIStats empowers every Indian to meaningfully engage with government data, strengthening citizen participation in building a Viksit Bharat.
