[datameet] kml Files of Indian states

2014-10-28 Thread sharib suhail
I am a student of M.A. Convergent Journalism, Jamia Millia Islamia

I am currently working on a multimedia project on 2014 'Indian Women in 
Physical Contact Sports' as a part of my college assignment.

I require a .kml file of state wise area distribution of India with well 
defined boundaries.

I would be grateful if one of you could help me figure out a way around it.

Thanks and regards
Sharib Suhail

[datameet] Schemes for urban poor

2014-10-28 Thread Amrtha Kasturi Rangan
Hi,

Rekha and I are trying to put together information that will point people
to resources that they can use to guide the help at their homes to better
opportunities. We have set up a blog http://helpyourhelp.wordpress.com
 to put the information together. The effort is fairly new but we have
already a number of queries and some of these have been on education for
the children and health.

We are talking to the Tamil Nadu NIC incharge of DeitY to see if we can get
information on schemes for the urban poor. Meera, Citizen Matters has also
given us a lot of help for information Bangalore.

Would any of you know where we should look for information on schemes for
urban poor for different States?

 Dear Participants, Colleagues and Friends,

 Greetings from Open Access India

 Its a historical movement in ICAR/NARS as about 60 participants had come
 together to discuss and deliberate on Openness (Open Access, Open Data and
 Open Educational Resources) in general and related/relevant to agriculture
 in the workshop on Open Access to Agricultural Knowledge for Inclusive
 Growth and Development  (In Partnership with GFAR- FAO), 29-30 October
 2014 to be held at NAARM, Hyderabad. .

 Unfortunately, I am not able to participate. However, I am glad that few
 of the Open Access India members are participating in the event.

 Now to make inclusive this workshop, may I request you all to tweet or
 blog or share on facebook or any other social media using the hasghtap
