Thanks a lot for your replies! :) This is very helpful. Basically, I have divided Delhi based on my custom boundaries for the year of 2016. What I need now are the metrics like population, income, etc. So, I am using the ward boundaries to super-impose them on my custom boundaries and get the required metrics.
>From >https://sec.delhi.gov.in/sec/delimitation-wards-municipal-corporation-delhi, I understand that delimitation took place before 2008, in 2017 and now in 2022. Is this correct or am I missing something here? Once again, thanks a lot, everyone! :) On Sunday, 21 May 2023 at 00:30:51 UTC+5:30 chris mathen wrote: > It is also possible with python.
