I know of newsrack (in fact I created the NREGA topic on the site long long ago) but what I am looking for is a crawler of past records which I can use for my own research. Maybe the code behind newsrack can be reused to build such a crawler -- but I didn't see it anywhere on the site. Anyway, thanks.
