Hi Arun,
Thanks for the response, yes the OSM data for Vikarabad seems to very less,
and another issue is also about different spellings of villages from
different govt sources. I am ready to put some efforts in populating this
for the district. I am meetimg @Surya from factly <https://factly.in/>
tomorrow and they have been working closely with State Govt.on Opendata
implementation, so will see what would come out of it.
@Chetan,
Nice to hear from you, and we are in surely need of some hands with
experience in mapping to learn and visualise the data in a better way. Let
me know if you want to have a quick chat/talk and we can take it from there.
p.s : I have added in the mail loop, Vaishnavi who I met today, and she was
also enquiring about shape files of Vikarabad, and specifically Daulatabad
Mandal. She is a PHD student at Wisconsin University, and is currently
focussing on Credit & livelihood issues of farmers in Daulatabad Mandal
currently working out of Vikarabad too :)
I have also added Surya from factly in the mail too.
There is a datameet forum topic
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/nSrggW4iA14>also around
this by Srihari.
Hope we can collectively work together on this.
Cheers,
Harsha
