[datameet] Details on allocation of reserved SC seats in UP GPs

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could clarify/share with me a source on the 
details of the allocation of GP Pradhan seats to SC reservation. I have 
seen that the system after 2021 changed to one where a rotation was put in 
place but I haven't been able to find out the details of it and the 
Panchayati Raj Act was also quite vague about it. I would also love to know 
how the allocation worked prior to the switch to the rotation system as 
mentioned here 
.
 
Was it just allocated to the GPs with the highest share of SCs within a 
subdistrict without rotation? Any details help even if you don't have a 
source in mind! Thank you in advance!

Best,
Eduardo

[datameet] Election results for UP Gram Panchayats

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

Happy New Year!

I was wondering if anyone had seen the election results for UP Gram 
Panchayats (either for the last election or the previous one). The main 
things I need are the vote shares of the winner and runner-up and their 
political parties. If the names of the candidates are also available then 
that is another plus! I found some files on the UP election authority 
website but they only had the name of the winning candidate and not their 
party. They were also in Hindi although I'm sure there's a way to translate 
those to English. Thank you in advance!

Best,

Eduardo

[datameet] Measuring BJP propaganda/advertising

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had good ideas on how to get data on being 
exposed to more BJP propaganda or advertising during elections. Is there 
perhaps data on advertising expenditures by locality or distribution of 
important local headquarters that predict a higher exposure to propaganda 
from those that live nearby? Any ideas are welcome, thank you in advance!

Best,

Eduardo

[datameet] District-level government expenditure on SC welfare programs

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi,

I am trying to get data on government budgets and/or expenditure at the 
district level. Especially, I am interested in the amount allocated to 
SC/ST welfare programs. I know similar data exists at the state level and 
it is what Economist Rohini Pande uses in her 2003 paper titled "Can 
Mandated Political Representation Provide Disadvantaged Minorities Policy 
Influence? Theory and Evidence from India". To illustrate what I'm looking 
for, I'd like to get similar data but at a level smaller than states.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best,
Eduardo

[datameet] Re: Transparent Chennai website is down for good

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi Vaishnavi,

Have you tried getting the data through wayback machine? I can see here 
that someone took a snapshot of the website in 2018 and it looks probably 
like the one you were looking for. With any luck the datasets are also 
saved there. Here's the link to the 2018 snapshot, you can also see if 
there is a more recent 
one: 
https://web.archive.org/web/20180401174830/http://www.transparentchennai.com/ 
Hope this helps!

[datameet] NIC crosswalks

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

Has anyone compiled crosswalks for the NIC codes across the NSS waves. I'm 
using the "thick" rounds (38, 43, 50, 55, 61, 66) so that goes through NIC 
1970, NIC 1987, NIC 1998, and NIC 2004. Someone else had posted here 
 the 
crosswalk from 98 to 04 in excel but online I can only find PDFs of the 
others. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Eduardo

Re: [datameet] Trouble reading Indian Districts Database's files

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi Dilawar,

Thank you so much! The SAS files were very useful in understanding the 
structure. They're surprisingly not mangled, just very strangely arranged! 
Let me know if you need them in .dta and I can share the files once I'm 
done cleaning them.

Best,
Eduardo

[datameet] Trouble reading Indian Districts Database's files

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

Have any of you successfully read the .data files in the Indian Districts 
Database (http://vanneman.umd.edu/districts/files/index.html)? I tried 
reading them in R as ASCII and elsewhere as text files or tab separated 
files and all I got was a single column of about 150K rows with what looked 
like the data but with no sense of which column corresponds to which 
variable. Also, the SAS command files are not available (links broken).

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Eduardo

[datameet] District-level historical census data

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

I am aware that the last three censuses are availiable online even at the 
village/town level for most questions but what about for the previous 
censuses? Are you aware of census data being digitized at least at the 
district level? Most important to me is get the distribution by religion 
and whatever categorization of caste is available (whether it be SC/ST/OBC 
or specific jatis for the earlier censuses). 

Alternatively, do you know of a repository with the census data perhaps for 
the earlier ones. I have found some here and there with varying degrees of 
completeness and I was wondering if any of you have come across a more 
comprehensive collection.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best,

Eduardo

[datameet] Voting records for state high courts or supreme court decisions

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has seen available records of supreme court or 
state high court decisions. Ideally, I would like to see how each judge 
voted in a case.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Eduardo

Re: [datameet] Data on voting/opinions of the members of State Legislative Assemblies

Hi Kishore,

I guess there might not be many instances but maybe I could use absenteeism as 
a potential proxy for wanting to vote against the party. Thank you for this 
information, it is very useful!

Best,

Eduardo

That makes sense. Thank you, Peter, I will look into that as a source of data!

Hi Ashkay,

That is excellent, I was looking for exactly a record of day-to-day

[datameet] Data in English on discussions in State Assemblies

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hello,

I have found that there is no record of voting by MLA since most votes are 
done by voice. However, is there any proxy you have found such as using 
transcripts of meetings where specific laws/motions were discussed? Are 
such transcripts available in English by any chance, even if it is only for 
some states? 

I found, for instance, that someone did this word cloud with text from 
debates in some assembly discussion: 
https://www.facebook.com/DataDrivenPolicy/photos/a.1680520442182299.1073741826.1669243013310042/1683054585262218/?type=3=1

How I could get that sort of raw data for state assemblies is my question.

Thank you in advance for your help and attention.

Best,

Eduardo

[datameet] Data on voting/opinions of the members of State Legislative Assemblies

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hello,

I am looking for any data on how people in state assemblies voted on 
specific bills or laws. I have found that roll call voting does not happen 
in India and that there might not be data on how specific members of the 
legislative assemblies voted. However, are you aware of any potential proxy 
at the member level? For instance, perhaps text analysis of transcripts of 
the assembly discussions. Or do you know if there are such transcripts 
themselves for me to scrape/analyze?

Additionally, I know there is pretty good data on affidavits of candidates 
to parliament but is there such data on candidates to the state assemblies 
as well? 

Thank you in advance for your help and attention!

Best,
Eduardo
