MoSPI Unveils GoIStats App for Real-Time Access to Official Data.

On the occasion of Statistics Day 2025, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) officially launched the GoIStats mobile application. Developed by the National Sample Survey Office (NSO), this app is designed to provide seamless, real-time access to government statistics through a user-friendly, interactive platform for citizens, researchers, and policymakers.

      - The launch took place on June 29, 2025, coinciding with the 19th Statistics Day which commemorates the birth anniversary of Professor P.C. Mahalanobis, widely regarded as the father of Indian statistics. The event was also marked by the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the National Sample Survey (NSS), making it a significant milestone for India’s official statistical system.

      - Union MoS (Independent Charge) Rao Inderjit Singh launched the GoIStats app, highlighting its role in boosting evidence-based policymaking and transparency through tech-driven data access aligned with the government’s digital vision.

      - The GoIStats app features a range of data services including an interactive “Key Trends” dashboard showcasing visuals on GDP, inflation, unemployment, and more. It offers downloadable tables, CSV files, infographics, and metadata. A dedicated “Products” section allows users to access official data with just one tap, supported by a full library of NSO publications and push notifications for updates.

Main Point :-   (i) Currently available on the Google Play Store, the GoIStats app has been downloaded over 1,000 times within days of its release and has a compact file size of only 24 MB. MoSPI has confirmed that an iOS version will also be released soon to ensure wider accessibility and cross-platform usage.

      (ii) The app’s launch is part of MoSPI’s broader digital reform strategy under the “Viksit Bharat 2047” vision. The ministry is investing in AI-based statistical modelling, cybersecurity for data systems, and modernized collection tools. The app complements these efforts by making data more accessible and interpretable for the common public.

(iii) Ahead of the launch, MoSPI, in collaboration with MyGov, organized a national hackathon titled “Innovate with GoIStats” from February 25 to March 31, 2025.
