About

Lok Dhaba is a project of the Trivedi Center for Political Data, a research center led by faculty members in the Political Science and Computer Science Departments at Ashoka University.

Lok Dhaba's interface has been developed with open source tools such as R, Shiny, Plotly, Leaflet, data tables and rgdal. Our maps are originally from DataMeet and have been cleaned and treated in-house. The Lok Dhaba software itself is open source under a Apache 2.0 license and is available from our Github page.
