ForThePeople.in aggregates publicly available Indian government data into clean, citizen-friendly dashboards — one for every district. Instead of navigating 50+ government portals, citizens get a single platform with real-time data on crop prices, dam levels, budget spending, school performance, infrastructure projects, and 25+ more modules.

Currently live (10 districts across 7 states):

• Karnataka: Mandya, Mysuru, Bengaluru Urban
• Tamil Nadu: Chennai
• Maharashtra: Mumbai, Pune
• Delhi: New Delhi
• West Bengal: Kolkata
• Telangana: Hyderabad
• Uttar Pradesh: Lucknow

Goal: All 780+ districts across 28 states and 8 UTs.
