Thanks Gautam and Emmerich. Here[1] is the summary of everything I know until now, including the list of current UDISE Districts and Blocks along with codes.
I am planning to scrape https://schoolgis.nic.in/. But it seems to be down most of the time. Has anyone here tried scraping it before? I have not looked at data.gov.in for school list. May be I should check that too. - [1] https://thejeshgn.com/2021/05/26/india-udise-educational-districts-and-blocks/ On Saturday, 10 April 2021 at 20:38:03 UTC+5:30 emmeric...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi Thej and Gautam, > > From what I know, Gautam is exactly right.
