I agree.
Our view of consumption does not only lie in the development around open data but general usage as well. The problem therefore also extends to the fact that many people seated in academia who can very well read this data are also not aware of the open data portal. It is important for us to carry our outreach program to them as well and encourage them to take deep dives into this data so as to come up with great insights that our developers can build around.

The main Reason why our Society is not consuming The DATA is Because our Educate lot were not taught how to be creative, their were taught how to look for jobs instead of being Job Creators, and they are fed with fear, through their growing up, till they can not think for themselves!
Our Education System Was DESIGN TO create JOB-SEEKERS, INSTEAD OF JOB CREATORS, TO retified this, our school system must blend their Programs, with PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE, WHERE BY THE INDIVIDUAL person IS HELP TO find HIMSELF OR herself as the fore most foundational program!
