Dear Sudheendra:

Well, you know how right hand does not know what left hand has done.

Please see the ppt that Census person made to NSDI in 2011:

https://*nsdi*india.gov.in/ 
*nsdi*/*nsdi*portal/*nsdi*10/presentations/*census*.pdf


They claim to have ward boundaries for more than 7,000 towns

I know that Hubli-Dharwad recently commissioned a company to generate 
shape files for their wards (that data is soon going to be made 
available). But if it already existed, they wouldn't have needed to.

have now been uploaded.

1. I could not find any urban ward-level boundaries in the pdf. I
only see taluk-wise or tehsil-wise maps in which village
boundaries are shown, and also the urban area is marked as a
whole. But no ward boundaries within the urban area. Am I missing
something?

an earlier post, census MUST be having all these boundaries

Till then we have to take the shapefiles we have (such as the one
I posted for Karnataka) and update them using the pdf as a guide.

Re: [datameet] Re: Census of India seems to have maps of everything!

2015-10-28 Thread nishadh 
Dear Sharad,

1. Sorry, the statement-ward level is wrong, it is village or town level. I 
was referring to "Town code/Village code" 
in census data, which is marked in the pdf maps and it is the lowest level, 
unique code in the map. 
The ward level data in census tables (population enumeration tables or 
house listing tables) 
doesn't has a unique code and is linked with Town code/Village code as its 
serial numbers.
   
2. Regarding the shape file, this link would be a good start for 2001 
census data village map 
https://archive.org/details/IndiaVillageBoundaries. Though incomplete, the 
data has boundary for some 2,80,000 villages.


Regards,
Nishadh

I very much doubt the census bureau (or anyone else) has the shape files at
a ward level across the country.

I know that Hubli-Dharwad recently commissioned a company to generate shape
files for their wards (that data is soon going to be made available). But
if it already existed, they wouldn't have needed to.
