@bibekdebroy @_saurabhgarg Unlike in the HCES conf, retired @GoIStats officials were not called on the dais to 'defend' current data. Instead, some data users were given a chance to share their views in a panel. Some imp suggestions came from @Santanu_LEAD, which I hope @GoIStats will take on board.

मैं प्रोफेसर KS James सर के साथ हूं, और आप? #IIPSians The country's top demographer, Prof. #KSJames, who is known for his simplicity and expertise in the field of demography, population studies and public health, has been treated unfairly by the BJP gov. NFHS is the only survey that countries outside India have valued since 1992, but today, due to some leaders in the gov not being pleased with NFHS data, the director of IIPS was suspended. This is very distressing for research and policy in the field. Now, in the future, every institution or university's director and VC will fear releasing accurate data, becoming a hindrance to the country's development. Every student and researcher like me stands with Prof. James. We know how transparent and honest a researcher and professor he has been. Considering how rapidly IIPS has grown since he became its director, the gov should reconsider his suspension. #Background: BREAKING: 'Unhappy With Data Sets,' Govt Suspends Director of IIPS Institute Which Prepares NFHS. #IStandWithKSJames #IStandWithProfKSJames #IStandWithProfKS_James #IStandWithProfJames #IIPS #IStandWithProfJames #IStandWithKSJames
