Thanks Devdatta.

Few other states also have detailed shapes available on their GIS servers
that is downloadable. Since license is never mentioned, can we take it that
the work by default falls under GODL
 and start
uploading it on /datameet?

[datameet] Crime against women data by NCRB

[Paridhi Diwan]

Hi all,

I am a student at National Institute of Design. I wanted to reach out to you to 
ask for some help on a project I am working on.

I am creating an interactive website for India's crime data as part of my 
thesis project. 

I have been using the data provided by NCRB as part of their report for 2016. 
(That's the last public report I could find)

First & foremost I was wondering if I can find more recent crime data (2017 or 
2018) would really appreciate it if someone can guide me to the right place to 
get this as NCRB doesn't have any data beyond 2016.

Also while working on the data from the 2016 report, I found a lot of 
discrepancies specifically in terms of the calculations (mismatch of totals 
mainly)

I was wondering if someone has feedback on how to clean/understand discrepancy 
in the data? 


Also tI was surprised to find a major caveat I found in the NCRB report which 
follows the  practice of basing data collection upon the “principal offence” 
rule. In short, if a rape also involves the murder of a victim then the crime 
is recorded as a murder and not a rape. This means that some of the most brutal 
and high profile rape cases in recent memory would not be a part of a dataset.

How to deal with this caveat? 


I would really appreciate any help/suggestions/feedbacks. Also  would like to 
get in touch with others who are looking at this dataset and trying to do 
something with it.


Please feel free to ping me here or email me separately.



Cheers,
Paridhi

[datameet] Re: Parliamentary constituency boundaries 2019

[rigved shenai]

Constituency boundaries are shown differently in multiple sources. The 
Datameet dataset is good for Rural constituencies, but not accurate in case 
of Urban areas. 
I had inquired for those datasets to MapMyIndia but the cost they quoted 
was exorbitant. and accuracy was not too good either. Maharashtra 
boundaries are shown here in MSRAC portal(Choose "Electoral" in base layer 
and zoom in)
http://mrsac.maharashtra.gov.in/geoportal/
If someone is successful in extracting the shapefiles from this, Please let 
me know.

Elections, Feel free to connect.

Re: [datameet] Any suggestions on where to get official (and credible) data on the Sardar Sarovar dam project

[SAMYAK PANDEY]

Try the YoY Annual Report of NCA (Narmada Control Authority) and  Narmada
Water Disputes Tribunal (NWDT). You will find allocation Though I'm not
sure about the Consumption front.

Re: [datameet] Parliamentary constituency boundaries 2019

[Raphael Susewind]

Dear all,

just a warning that my polling booth locality data is quite useless for
2019 in most states - booth IDs will have changed... For UP I might get
around to update them but not currently for other states. So don't use
this data to map the ongoing elections!

You have been warned ;-)
