Devdatta, This is raw data that I converted from kml to shp. So it took me about 30 minutes to make sure the attributes came through properly. Cannot say my source until I download the rest of the content from the site, before they take it down. It seems like they put data on the internet, then try to take it down (or hide it...). Not really sure why? I posted the Orissa sample for you some time ago, but you never responded? I found official data for Orissa as well, so converting the census pdfs to gis is a big waste of time (took me a few days...).
As per the quality of this dataset, it is the best I have seen on a national level. But if you look state by state, or really want quality data, then this isn't what you want. I would call this dataset a rough start. I posted a update about Bihar (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/QuP4Tt4n0_g) and that data is amazing, this data doesn't hold a candle to it. Too bad the government doesn't want help from the experts ;) Cheers, Justin On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 12:02:57 AM UTC-4, Devdatta Tengshe wrote: > > Hi Justin, > > Firstly let me congratulate you on doing this.
