The state government of Odisha launched a State Open Government Data Portal (www.odisha.data.gov.in) in 2017 to share government data with the public. The chief secretary asked data officers of all departments to upload information from their departments to the website within a week. The portal provides data from departments such as health and family welfare, women and child welfare, education, and housing that can be used to access information about government schemes and services in Odisha.
