Dear Nikhil,
Thanks for your help and yes, I assumed (incorrectly) that if the menus
are in Hindi then the data will also be in Hindi/Devanagari!
Unfortunately, as you pointed, out, the data are still in English/Roman
script.
Which means I have to expand my request: any one who can find a website
that has village name lists in Hindi/Devanagari (for MP in particular),
please flag. If someone has the data already in Devanagari, great!
Sreeram pointed out that the list on the govt of India's LGDIR website
has devanagari names for some states, but in the case of MP, the column
for names in Devanagari is very sporadically filled!

Hi Sharad,
The site you linked is quite easy to scrape with basic GET api calls
(aka you can open the url in browser also) giving the data in a proper
structure that can be directly used by a program.
*But : the data is all in English only.*
Anyways, in case you want to scrape, can get someone to do using:
Districts list:
https://www.prd.mp.gov.in/Handlers/Districts.ashx?DivisionID=0
Take district ID from there to get local bodies list:
https://www.prd.mp.gov.in/Handlers/localbodies.ashx?DistrictID=*45*&Is_Rural=1
Take "LBID" from there to get GP Zones:
https://www.prd.mp.gov.in/Handlers/GpZones.ashx?LbId=*24319*
Note to freshers in python coding who are looking for real world use
cases to learn and apply their skills: This is a good starting project.
Make 3 nested for loops and append all the results to a dict (json)
array. At end, convert to a pandas dataframe, and output to CSV.

For instance, if someone can scrape the names from this website:
https://www.prd.mp.gov.in/GramSearch/SearchPanchayat.aspx
(sequentially, so as to get the district, block and GP tags also)

I am looking for the census village list for Chhattisgarh and
Madhya Pradesh (for starters) in Devanagari (Hindi script).
Preferably with Census 2011 codes, so that I can quickly match
them to the Census dataset, which is in English. But even if
no codes attached, an accurate list with tehsil/block and
district tags in digital format (not pdf hopefully) will be a
big help.
Any suggestions, folks?
