Dear Sharad,
1. Sorry, the statement-ward level is wrong, it is village or town level. I
was referring to "Town code/Village code"
in census data, which is marked in the pdf maps and it is the lowest level,
unique code in the map.
The ward level data in census tables (population enumeration tables or
house listing tables)
doesn't has a unique code and is linked with Town code/Village code as its
serial numbers.
2. Regarding the shape file, this link would be a good start for 2001
census data village map
https://archive.org/details/IndiaVillageBoundaries. Though incomplete, the
data has boundary for some 2,80,000 villages.
Regards,
Nishadh
