Policy Comparisons

Cross-tabulate policy activity across government eras, sectors, types, and sources

Data coverage caveat: These comparisons reflect policies available in digital archives, not total policy output. Pre-2014 eras (especially UPA I & II) are significantly underrepresented because government digital portals have limited historical archival. Higher numbers in NDA eras do not necessarily mean more policymaking — they reflect better digital availability. Read full methodology
