[datameet] Re: District-level historical census data

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hi Peter,

This is awesome, thank you!! Also thank you for the notes on using R for 
SAS, I had previously gone the very painful route of doing it through Stata 
for US survey files.

 Hi all,

 I am aware that the last three censuses are availiable online even at
 the village/town level for most questions but what about for the previous
 censuses? Are you aware of census data being digitized at least at the
 district level? Most important to me is get the distribution by religion

 Alternatively, do you know of a repository with the census data perhaps
 for the earlier ones. I have found some here and there with varying degrees
 of completeness and I was wondering if any of you have come across a more
 comprehensive collection.

 Thank you very much in advance!

 Best,

 Eduardo

[datameet] Looking for open data on Public Toilet locations in Delhi, Bangalore

[aakash malik]

Hello Everyone,

I was looking for location data of SBM, Public toilets for metro cities. To 
my surprise, couldn't find it anywhere till now. I have checked OSM data, 
but not any luck with that.

Can anyone please point me out to a source, if any in mind. It would be of 
great help.  

Thanks,
Aakash
