  In this paper, the author at first briefly outlines the value of data in
organizations and the opportunities and challenges in Afghanistan. Then the
author takes the Kankor (National University Entrance Exam) data, particularly
names of participants, locations, high schools and higher education
institutions into account and explains how these data, that organizations in
Afghanistan do not use for anything, can be useful in several cases and areas.
The application of these data is shown through cases such as Auto filling
missing values, identifying names of people, locations, and institutions from
unstructured text, generating fake data to benchmark the database and web
application performance and appearance, comparing and matching high school data
with Kankor data, producing the top-n male and female names very common in
Afghanistan or province-wise, and the data mining application in education and
higher education institutions.
