Hi, 

Alternatively, one could also use geo-referencing in QGIS to create spatial 
data from PDFs. Are the results you are getting with the python script 
faster / more accurate? Would love to see it :)

Hi Thej, Datameet

After reading this, I went to SOI site and tried downloading few maps. I
could only find PDFs. And data.gov.in also love PDFs.

I wrote a couple of scripts which I used to figure out boundaries  and
extract data from curves in old PDF paper. It's a tricky business but I had
decent success (One python3 app is here
https://github.com/dilawar/PlotDigitizer). These scripts can also be
tweaked to fetch boundaries from PDF maps (no deep-learning business yet).
If datameet still struggling to find the boundaries from such maps, please
send a few samples to me. I can probably setup a web-service to upload the
map and get the GeoJSON if results are OK.

best,
Dilawar

Hi all

Is there any population-wise data available at one place for all the ULBs
which participated in Swachh Bharat ranking 2019?

Thanks in advance
