Project Identify an open source dataset (from data science repositories like, UCI ML, Kaggle,
Guidelines opendata.gov.in etc.) belonging to a particular domain and analyze it in terms of the following:
• Basic exploration of the available data
• Interpret the output in a scientific manner
• Communicate the insights in a succinct manner (as if to a non-technical audience)
