So the data on Bhuvan's various sites I have noticed is from one of three original sources - NRSC - Survey of India - WRIS (Water Resources Info System, CWC)
Each of them have their own access and use policies Check out this link for Bhuvan Panchayat http://www.bhuvan-panchayat.nrsc.gov.in/#SISDP On the menu at the top click SISDP>Metadata>Spatial Layers For many of the spatial data layers it says Use constraints: As per Survey of India (SOI) data dissemination policy. Access constraints: As per National Map Policy of Survey of India (SOI) Hence for the boundary layers, it isn't the NRSC Terms of Use that is applicable but the Survey of India policies The National Map Policy is easily available on their website but i haven't been able to find their data dissemination policy anywhere. (Does anyone know where we can find it? ) They have instead a National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (2012), which I don't think is the same. For other Bhuvan layers, where the NRSC Terms of Use applies. I had visited the NRSC office recently and they told me that there are no restrictions on digitizing layers, and using the digitized versions to make our own web app visualizations. But whether it is ok to allow download of these digitized files the guy I spoke to wasn't able to confirm. Dilip, which states village boundaries have you worked on?? In the Pune chapter we are thinking of an exercise to digitize Maharashtra's villages. Maybe you could help us out?
