Hi Anisha

I don;t think the SHRUG data set can be broken down any further in terms of
geographic boundaries. What you are looking for is not readily available
but you can create that data for yourself using vector maps of two things:
granular night light data and ward boundaries for Delhi. But you would need
to be careful about what year each of the maps correspond to because, for
instance, if you want night light data from 2018 then you don't want to
merge it with ward boundaries data from, say, 2004. It is possible that
ward boundaries keep changing (I'm not aware of it since I haven't worked
with ward boundaries in particular, but I know that district and
subdistrict and panchayat boundaries keep changing so I'm suspecting that
the same thing would happen to ward boundaries too), so you need to make
sure that the match between the two types of data makes sense.

 With that caveat, you can do this in free software like QGIS or R, or if
you use Stata then you can also do it using that (since we are both econ
PhD students, I'm assuming you aren't into Python, although I thin it
should be possible with that too).

You can find the requisite data on the links below.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.
