Dear Sudheendra:
Well, you know how right hand does not know what left hand has done.
Please see the ppt that Census person made to NSDI in 2011:
https://*nsdi*india.gov.in/
<http://india.gov.in/>*nsdi*/*nsdi*portal/*nsdi*10/presentations/*census*.pdf
They claim to have ward boundaries for more than 7,000 towns

I very much doubt the census bureau (or anyone else) has the shape
files at a ward level across the country.
I know that Hubli-Dharwad recently commissioned a company to generate
shape files for their wards (that data is soon going to be made
available). But if it already existed, they wouldn't have needed to.

Dear Nishadh;
Many thanks for pointing us to this link, where the 2011 pdf maps
have now been uploaded.
1. I could not find any urban ward-level boundaries in the pdf. I
only see taluk-wise or tehsil-wise maps in which village
boundaries are shown, and also the urban area is marked as a
whole. But no ward boundaries within the urban area. Am I missing
something?
2. About shapefile: Ah! this is the eternal battle! As I said in
an earlier post, census MUST be having all these boundaries
digitized, and has in fact boasted in an internal presentation
that they have sub-ward-level maps. But they refuse to acknowledge
that when we approach them. Maybe someone should file an RTI.
Till then we have to take the shapefiles we have (such as the one
I posted for Karnataka) and update them using the pdf as a guide.
