Hi Thej, I am not sure that the caste census data is in the public domain yet. The part that will be used for BPL identification is online http://secc.gov.in/welcome. If you or anyone knows of a way to access the data please let me know.
I believe the NSS data is representative at the state level so maybe district level comparison won't be possible (but I could be wrong). The NSSO data can be purchased from MOSPI http://mospi.nic.in/Mospi_New/upload/nsso/ratelist_UnitData.pdf. If you are interested in this topic, you might want to look at research by Lakshmi Iyer, Tarun Khanna, and Ashutosh Varshney. They used data from the economic census (which is also conducted by MOSPI). I did a short blog post a while ago at http://theopendata.com/site/2012/02/caste-and-entrepreneurship-in-india/. The paper has now been published and is available at http://www.epw.in/special-articles/caste-and-entrepreneurship-india.html Best, Aaditya > Caste survey data > > Thejesh GN <[email protected]> Mar 19 12:28PM +0530 > > It look like in general census 2011 and NSSO of 2006 had caste component > included, Is there any way to get that info? > > I would like to do earnings/economics v/s caste by district. > > Ref: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_census_of_India -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
