Shifting from paper based to electronic data capture helped up to reduce data-entry errors and other errors due to built-in quality checks. [...]it has substantially reduced time and cost of data collection. From July 2019 we plan to move to more opensource platform “Survey solutions” for long term sustainability. Since 2009 we have initiated an open data access policy. The second highest COD is accidental deaths owing to increasing availability and use of vehicles in the newly industrialized area and changing socio-economic status. [...]mortality is associated with ambient temperature in VaduHDSS and has been analyzed in context of various confounding factors [26,27]. Since 2002 nearly 68 research studies have been conducted based on the VaduHDSS.
