2018 was an incredible year #InsideSocialCops and your support made it only better.
From getting recognized as a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum to making three open-source contributions in 2018, we have been fortunate to have shared it all with you. We wish you a wonderful 2019 from all of us at SocialCops. 
In 2019, we plan to do more good work, take the power of data across the world, and empower more decisions through data — all of this and more with you.
December #InsideSocialCops was about welcoming 17 awesome interns, making our third contribution to the open-source community, competing over board games, celebrating Christmas, and a lot more. Here is a sneak peek. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as we love sharing it with you. 
What we have been up to lately
We worked with the UN India to develop the SDG India Dashboard — a dashboard to help track and monitor our contribution towards Agenda 2030. We were at the launch of #SDGIndiaIndex that will track the progress being made by all states & union territories and rank them on 62 national indicators across categories —achievers, front-runners, performers, and aspirants. Read more about our SDG Tracking solution. 
Every week our team continues to bring together diverse teams — engineering, research and analysis, product, content marketing — to share learnings, experiences, and knowledge with each other. In December we hosted #InsideData sessions, a content marketing workshop, and awesome Engineering Demos. 
Our team comes from all parts of India (and outside), and we celebrate this diversity as much as our work.
What we are hosting
In December we hosted the second edition of the Delhi useR Meetup at SocialCops and discussed geospatial visualizations using various R packages and cloud storage–based workflows in R. We also launched flyio, an open-source package that allows interaction with data in the cloud directly using R. Currently flyio supports AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and local storage. Read more about flyio here.
