Hi Deepak, Add your C.D. Blocks or Tehsils shapefiles as different vector layers on QGIS and try Vector-Geoprocessing Tools-Union. This has worked for me few times. Hope this helps. cheers, yogi On Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 9:13:02 PM UTC+5:30, Deepak B wrote: Hi Dev I had a query

Hi Deepak, Yes you can merge several tehisils into one via QGIS. If you are looking to get the districts, I'll suggest that you have a look at the Datameet Repo: https://github.com/datameet/maps/, which has the districts for 2001 2011 census. Regards, Dev On Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 9:13 PM,

Hi Dev I had a query regarding the shapefile. If i want to combine a few C.D. Blocks or Tehsils of a district into one, is that possible with QGIS? Would appreciate any guidance in this regard. Thanks in advance. Regards Deepak B On Friday, 24 July 2015 12:50:38 UTC+5:30, Devdatta Tengshe
