OnlineJourno PolicyWatch. Parliamentary & Policy Intelligence

What PolicyWatch is, and how it works.

About

The policy record, every morning

OnlineJourno PolicyWatch turns the fragmented public record of Indian policy-making — Parliament, ministries, regulators, standing committees and NITI Aayog — into a daily brief a policy desk can trust. Not a rewrite of the news: the source itself, before it is news anywhere.

Why it exists

The commodity layer — summarising the day's headlines — is collapsing into the answer engines. The durable value is the primary record: what a ministry, committee or Parliament actually published, monitored systematically and read with judgement. PolicyWatch is an instrument for that record, not a headline machine.

How to read it

Honest about the preview

This is a working preview. It runs today on open feeds (PIB / PRS / Parliament RSS + GDELT); ministry portals and standing-committee pages are listed but not yet built. Briefs are composed by an AI model; an edition no editor has reviewed carries a “not yet reviewed by an editor” note — they demonstrate the instrument, not finished editorial. The tool advises; it never decides.

Responsible editor: Subhash Rai


Made by the OnlineJourno team: Subhash Rai, Anand Sukumaran and Siva Nallamothu. From onlinejournalism.in: 25 years of digital journalism, productised. PolicyWatch is proprietary OnlineJourno software; the briefs are free to read.
