Good morning. I came across this site -- https://geosadak-pmgsy.nic.in/opendata -- with shapefiles by state for Bound_Block, Habitations, Facilities, Road_DRRP, and Proposals. We have to download one state and one layer at a time.
Wondering if anyone from the group made an India composite of these layers? Or if this is already on datameet repo, please share the link. Appreciate it. With best wishes, Sarath -- *Dr. Sarath Guttikunda* *http://www.urbanemissions.info <http://www.urbanemissions.info>* On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 11:43 PM Rick Morgan <rick.morg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Arun, > > I already have people looking into this possibility, but the initial > prospects look bleak.
