Nihkil,

I beg to differ with you on the geospatial aspect and the value of the 
datasets. They have only been publishing aggregated numbers for data that could 
be a little more granular. Like for example MeeSeva Transactions/Electricity 
connections to households etc.. The best example is the Police Stations dataset 
which is an aggregate number of police stations in a district which is of zero 
value in my opinion. The baseman of the state along with new district 
boundaries is not yet publicly available in machine readable formats.

I have been pushing them to publish granular data with little luck.  

Regards,

Srinivas
