Re: [datameet] States shapefile is based on which Census Year ?

[Ashim Kapoor]

Dear Devdatta.

This page :
http://projects.datameet.org/maps/districts/

says :

The District Boundaries of India, Scraped from ECI's Poling Station
Locations  Website.
Wouldn’t the ECI website have the latest data on Districts? Since the
Districts boundaries are scraped from ECI's website wouldn’t we have  the
latest Districts boundaries ?

Where do I misunderstand ?

Best Regards,
Ashim

 Dear Devdatta,

 Many thanks for your reply.

 On this page:

 http://projects.datameet.org/maps/states/

 Item 3 says :

 Some State Boundaries Names seem to be incorrect or Missing.

 Also on this page :

 http://projects.datameet.org/maps/districts/

 Item 3 says :
 Some Assemblies Constituency Names seem to be incorrect or Missing.

 Can you please clarify which ones are these ? Is there a list of
 Incorrect/Missing States / Districts ?

 Best Regards,
 Ashim

> we are approximately correct is using both the State and the District
shapefiles ?

No!
The states represent the current boundaries, while the districts shapefile
represent the 2001 Census & 2011 Census.

We do not have a District file for the Current boundaries & names.

Dear Devdatta,

Thank you once again for the prompt reply. So if I understand correctly, we
are approximately correct is using both the State and the District
shapefiles ?

Re: [datameet] States shapefile is based on which Census Year ?

[Devdatta Tengshe]

Hi Ashim,

Both those sections are incorrect. I've created a
https://github.com/datameet/maps/issues/28 for the same.

The States folder at https://github.com/datameet/maps/ contains updated
State Boundries, while the District have information from 2011 & 2001
Census.

Re: [datameet] States shapefile is based on which Census Year ?

[Devdatta Tengshe]

This data was originally based on the 2011 Census; We have then partitioned
AP and also updated the Telangan Boundary based on the 2015 Order.

So this data approximately represents the current situation.
