[datameet] India states and district geospatial data in language

2014-05-14 Thread Justin Meyers
Hello,
I am looking for gis data that has administrative boundaries for india with 
english as well as Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, etc.  I understand not all of these 
languages are used in each state/ district, but if the dataset has some of the 
information it would be better than none.  Does anyone have such data or know 
of a good base layer and a point csv file that I could do a spatial join on?

Thanks,
Justin

Hello Justin,

The data that you are looking for is really interesting. I can't think
of any source, but you might find it in OpenStreetMap
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2018151). Look for
boundary=administrative and admin_level 4 and 3.

On the other hand, this is perhaps something that we can crowdsource?
May be from the 2011 census shapefile. If people are up for it, we can
coordinate it via Github or something.

Cheers,
Sajjad.
