Re: [External Email] [datameet] District-Level GDP Data (by Broad Sector)

['Shiv Hastawala' via datameet]

Hi Golam

District level GDP per se is available for only 2007-2013 in the following
data set:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cbghovzdldah0rg/AACgmhUltFWDDoXOQ9VrDy5ga?dl=0

However, economists have been using night light data as a very good proxy
for GDP at levels like the district (because GDP data is usually not
available at disaggregated geographic levels), and you can find that series
for the years you are looking for here:

Re: [datameet] Mapping Local Government Directory to WikiData

This is part of the problem, generally it seems LGD is still a WIP from
subdistricts onwards. Only sometime in the last year did they update the
missing taluks for Mumbai Suburban and Chennai districts even though it was
always in existence. So the LGD unfortunately cannot be trusted to be
current even though the creation of new entities seem to be quite prompt.

Coverage of subdistrict items in wikidatata is quite low. Most of the items
that exist with the same name would be the item for the town. There are
also cases where the Wikidata item may be missing the English label (example
) making name matching a bit of a
puzzle..

Re: [datameet] SHRUG Census 1991 Data: District and State

[chris mathen]

I think it could be resolved by merging the pc91_census data with
pc91_district_key to obtain district and state names.

, and created a  Map to explore
 the same. All and more details are on
the Surveillance in Bengaluru
 project page.

Sharing some of the LGD-Wikidata mapping that I had done from two years
ago. Hopefully its of some use and can be a start.

 Arun - Sure. How do we proceed?


 I also have the udise_districts and udise_blocks in the same SQLITE.
 udise_districts uses a completely different  *udise_dist_code*. I will
 try and map wikiDataId to this as well.

 https://india-local-government-directory.glitch.me/india-local-government-directory/udise_districts

 udise_blocks are completely different from blocks as a geographical
 area. I am not going to pick it up as of now.

 https://india-local-government-directory.glitch.me/india-local-government-directory/udise_blocks

 My plan to pickup sub-district after this.
