Hi Thej and Gautam, >From what I know, Gautam is exactly right. For example, in Delhi, the Directorate of Education maintains 13 education districts that do not correspond to the 10 administrative districts for Delhi. They are for management and administrative purposes within the Directorate of Education (see here: http://www.edudel.nic.in/mis/schoolplant/school_information.htm and look at by district). I'm not sure if they maintain maps of these boundaries.
I can't speak for any other states. Adding to Gautam and others approach beyond KA, you can also get lat/long for a lot of schools from here: https://schoolgis.nic.in/. I believe many on here have also pointed to that site. Scraping that data and matching to DISE data gets you ~85% of the schools. DISE school codes minus the last two digits gets you villages, so you can then get another couple of percent by matching any schools with missing lat/longs that are in the same village as schools with lat/longs. >From there you could aggregate up to the administrative district. hth, Emmerich On Sunday, March 28, 2021 at 11:10:50 PM UTC-7 Gautam John wrote: > Hi Thej: > > > I am trying to make sense of UDISE wrt administrative boundaries. > > There isn't any linkage - they are completely independent at least > when I last checked in 2016.
