 I think there is not much data on the older census (1981 and before)
 available in editable form.

 However census website has an old census page

 I had downloaded some PDF file from there.

 I have a pdf file named 26745_1981_PCA which is 782pages and 13 MB

 These are two screenshots from that file

 [image: 1981_1.png]



 I will try to see If I can locate a link.

 Or else I will share the file over Google Drive. If it seesm useful

Re: [datameet] How to get “historical” shapefile (road, waterways, railways, etc.) of India?

2017-02-02 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Interested to hear what others have to say about this.

I can start you off on the road side of things: Treb Allen and David Atkin,
two trade economists have district-to-district travel time by road over a
couple of decades. https://sites.google.com/site/treballen/research

Look for "Replication data: Bilateral highway travel times between Indian
districts over time."

These are not shapefiles though, only total time it would have taken to
travel from district a to b overtime.

If others can suggest shape files time series even better.

Re: [datameet] TIN numbers and commercial tax divisions

2016-10-21 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Nisha, the states determine the circles and collect revenues. They
determine the VAT rates too. The centre determines the CST, which is levied
on interstate movement of goods, which is collected by the states. All of
this is set to change under the new GST regime though where there will be a
uniform rate across all states. The collection will still be done by the
states.

Re: [datameet] Data on income levels in India

2016-10-21 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Income data for the whole country is unavailable. Typically, you will find
incomes at the top of the income distribution (99th percentile onwards).
Expenditure is much easier instead of income. You may want to use NSSO
Consumption expenditure surveys to look at distribution around the country
and national income accounts for the country as a whole (long time
series.for both are available)

For a longer time-series of top incomes you may refer to The World Wealth
and Income Database. This stops at 1990 for India. Then for 2012-13,2013-14
you can refer to http://indiabudget.nic.in/vol1_survey.asp> fiscal capacity
for 21st century> box7.1

For more recent numbers:

Re: [datameet] TIN numbers and commercial tax divisions

2016-10-20 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Thanks Anand. I think it is not a straightforward mapping from a TIN to a
division/circle, but there should be an underlying mapping function - I am
just not aware of that function is, or, if it can be reverse engineered.

A commercial tax circle is more disaggregated than a division. For example
- Indore city is divided into three tax divisions with 5-6 circles inside
each of the divisions. Your tin maps to a (division,circle) tuple. Another
example is: https://comtaxappl.uk.gov.in/tinno.aspx?tin=05005816145 . The
TIN 05005816145 maps to (Dehradun,DC I) tuple.

Re: [datameet] TIN numbers and commercial tax divisions

2016-10-19 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Nisha - all companies are required to pay indirect taxes for their sales.
Just like PAN card for income taxes, companies file their VAT proceeds with
the State Governments using a TIN (tax indentification number) number. So
depending on where a company is registered, the company would obtain a TIN
from their corresponding commercial tax division>circle. Example:
https://mptax.mp.gov.in/mpvatweb/download/home/CTDContacts/CTDDIVCTO.html .

I have a list of TIN numbers that I want to map to these commercial tax
divisions/circles. Hopefully, then with a shapefile I will also be able to
map these companies across the country.

Something like the Bangalore link you shared is exactly what I am looking
for - if I could only crack the TIN-LVO (local VAT office) mapping
structure now!!

Thank you.

Best,
Sutirtha

[datameet] TIN numbers and commercial tax divisions

2016-10-19 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Dear DM members:

Is it possible to find out the commercial tax division that map to a TIN
number. For example the first two digits of a TIN number are the census
state codes but can we geographically disaggregate any further?

Also do shape files for commercial tax circles for different states exist
any where?

I found only Bihar sharing their maps here:
https://www.biharcommercialtax.gov.in/bweb/download/map/DigitizedMap.pdf
theser are in quite a bad shape. Is there something that is more usable for
Bihar and other states?

Thanks!

Re: [datameet] Re: Dharavi Household Survey Data

2014-06-26 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Thank you for the leads - Srinivas and Justin. Srinivas - I will look at
the electoral rolls data - didn't think of that earlier. Thank you

Justin - apologies if I wasn't clear on my requirements earlier. I am
personally interested in looking at socio-economic data: wages, poverty
rates, labor markets information, access to credit, education status etc at
a household level. I hope to use this data to see if I am able to make a
convincing economic argument that the value of people living and working in
Dharavi is greater (or can be made greater) than the value of the land
value itself. At an aggregate level, reports indicate that the value of
economic output from Dharavi is close to $600 million!! If this is true,
then I want to test the hypothesis that increasing productivity through
efficient design (which put capital in their hands or improves working
conditions etc) will help people perceive Dharavi as less of a 'slum' and
more of an industrial powerhouse for Mumbai.

The maps that you sent are extremely useful for the planners in my team
though. If you come across anything else on similar lines- kindly request
you to forward it as well. It will be of immense help.

Thank you so much again.

[datameet] Dharavi Household Survey Data

2014-06-24 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Dear Datameeters: I hope this finds you all well.

I am working on a Dharavi Redevelopment Planning idea and was wondering if
anyone here would have access to any kind of data pertaining to Dharavi.
>From my research, I have learnt that the Dharavi Redevelopment Committee
commissioned by the Mumbai municipality did conduct a household survey
there through a data collection intermediary called MASHAL but this data is
currently not available in the public domain. There is no information
online about the ownership of the data, whether it lies with the city
municipality, and if it does, whether it will be accessible through
provisions under RTI. Hence shooting in the dark through this email.

Any pointers to any other datasets pertaining to Dharavi will also
immensely inform our outcomes. Thank you all very much in advance.

Re: [datameet] What kinds of things could we do with Daksh 2014 MP Constituency data?

2014-02-13 Thread Sutirtha Roy
Hi Kishore: Thanks for sharing this information. It will be very
interesting to see the results that emerge from this exercise.

I like the way you stated the problem: "impact of having over 2.5 lakh
people discussing these issues with their friends and family will be
significant, we believe, in people making an informed choice in voting".
What I was wondering was if these conversations that people are having in
their constituency maps with the larger political discourse that MPs are
having in LS. Stated the other way, the issues that citizens verbalize -
are they getting proper representation in the actual political discourse in
the floor of the house and to what extent.

I am guessing, that a comparison of what people say is important to them
(from the Daksh survey) vis-a-vis what MPs are discussing on the floor(data
available on the ADR/myneta website) could be helpful.

I apologize if its vague but I personally be very interested to see if its
the people's opinion that inform political discussions, or are there other
forces at play.

best,
-sutirtha

Re: [datameet] Data on Return on Investment on Real Estate Vs Gold

2013-05-06 Thread Sutirtha Roy
The National Housing Bank maintains an index called the RESIDEX that
allows tracking of real estate prices in different cities in India. It
is currently restricted to residential housing and there are plans to expand its
scope to commercial property as well.

I however don't find it too useful because the data available is a
relative measure of the price of the property, measured against
a the price at point in the past. The relative measure does allow one
to see the appreciation (or otherwise) trend in real prices in a given
city.
I have been told that NHB does collect the absolute
per square feet prices (from which RESIDEX is derived) but as always
doesnot make those points available on its website.

More available here: http://www.nhb.org.in/Residex/delhires.php

Hope this helps - if you are able to find some more data sources on
the real estate side - I request you to kindly share with the larger
group,

Regards in service,
Sutirtha
