Tamil Nadu Open Government Data (TNOGD) Portal, https://tn.data.gov.in is a platform intended to be used by Departments/Organizations of Government of Tamil Nadu to publish datasets and applications collected by them for public use. It intends to increase transparency in the functioning of the State Government and also open avenues for many more innovative uses of Government Data to give different perspective.
The ELCOT (Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd.) has recently published a dataset titled “Permanent Enrolment Centres (PECs) operated by ELCOT in Tamil Nadu” on TNOGD Portal.
