# Request from DataMeet Community

Shreevyas,
Project Director, KODI


Dear Sir,

I am glad to know that you and the department is engaging with the open data community. I am happy to contribute in any possible way to build the community and enhance the reach of open data through karnataka.data.gov.in


Here are some of my initial dataset suggestions for inclusion in the karnataka.data.gov.in

1. HOPCOMS publishes the daily rate card of vegetables and fruits here - http://hopcoms.karnataka.gov.in/CropRates.aspx Currently, there is no historical view. Currently, the community has been scraping the data and building a repository. You can see the details of it here - https://thejeshgn.com/projects/hopcoms-api/ but an official release would be great.
2. Currently, KGIS has a good map data set at https://kgis.ksrsac.in/kgis/downloads.aspx, but no license information is attached. It would be great to be released under the same Government Open Data License. https://karnataka.data.gov.in/government-open-data-license-india. They could even republish on karnataka.data.gov.in, so it is discoverable and comes under the same license. 
3. REAL TIME WEATHER INFORMATION - KSNDMC publishes alerts at http://www.ksndmc.org/ksndmcDashBoard/ But there is no API or other way to get this data (both current and historical). It will be of great help if it gets published on karnataka.data.gov.in, given the interest in climate change, this can be an excellent dataset for studies.
4. Karnataka Legislative Assembly publishes the questions and answers in the assembly at http://kla.kar.nic.in/assembly/questions/qns.htm, but scanned PDF copies. Ideally, it should be published on karnataka.data.gov.in, in an open format
5. Members attendance data from Vidhana Sabhe and Vidhana parishattu. 
6. Ticketing information from Namma Metro
7. Ticketing and routing information from BMTC
8. Ticketing and routing information from KSRTC

DataMeet and its community members will be more than happy to collaborate, help in all possible ways to increase the reach and usability of open datasets on karnataka.data.gov.in. Please do reach out to me.
