In developing countries such as India, collection, comprehension and retention of data particularly social science data is a difficult task. Basically social science data on many phenomena and fields are not regularly compiled. Lack of authentic data is a major hurdle in doing social science research. India unfortunately lacks data banks and the existing ones merely store the papers and reports produced by researchers and available in open form. 

This situation leads to a problem of compiling social indicators. The so-called indicators in many developing countries are not reliable as they are compiled comprehensively. A basic as well as the major data on population in India is not accurate. There are many incidences that many people left in the list and many people are listed more than once in these lists. Similarly the data on poverty, environment, sanitation and other fields do not reflect reality and they are just random. 

However many social surveys are being carried out by researchers. Social science researchers are collecting voluminous data as the part of their research activities. However they need to be comprehended to help the decision makers and policy planners to take decision. 

Realizing this fact, we comprehend the social data collected and build repositories based on demand. We collect the published as well as unpublished social science data from journal papers, reports, theses, newspapers and other primary resources and comprehend to make repositories. 

We solicit social science data requirements. For further assistance you can call us at service@dirf.org
