Re: [datameet] Census 2001 data

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

You can easily visualize the data on the census GIS portal. It has
integrated the census data on the map. https://censusgis.org/india/

cheers!

[datameet] Estimating drought in districts of Maharashtra

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

Namaskar Everyone!

*Does anyone have district-wise, monthly rainfall data *or* monthly drought
data for Maharashtra? *

I found this online resource where we can use the Google Earth engine and
satellite precipitation data from UCLA for estimating drought, but I wanted
to know if such data is readily available.

 Link:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLppGmFLhQ1HJ5VhW6BZfhPX6spUcTY7SR=Yb5oDOXfaMOflaYt

*Context*:
I am PhD scholar at CTARA, IIT Bombay. I am trying to study the effect of
drought prevalence on women and children's health and nutrition outcomes.
My hypothesis goes like this:
Severe drought -> scare the groundwater access-> women travel longer
distances to get household water-> less time for child support and care->
high malnutrition in children.
To test this argument, I wanted to analyze drought
prevalence in Maharashtra.

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,
Digvijay

*PS: if you are a researcher on environment/ disaster management and study
rainfall/ drought/ heat waves, I would love to collaborate to study their
effects on women and children's nutrition and health outcome indicators.*

Re: [datameet] Guidance on digitizing boundaries

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

A question on similar context, are the Ward wise boundaries of all
municipal corporation available for use?

Where do we get them?

If not shapefiles, where do we get latest ward wise maps?

Thank you in advance,

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

Hello Prof Mark,

Thank you for the resource.

Have you seen the India GIS portal? http://www.censusgis.org/india/ it has
the census data of 2001 and 2011 integrated with (up to) Village level
shapefiles. you can make basic spatial viz using this. But files can not be
downloaded.

Also, CSE department, IIT Bombay has put Maharashtra state's Census '11
data integrated village level shapefiles here
https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~pocra/MahaCensus_shapefile_data1.2/Boundary.html

Hope this helps in you.

[datameet] Mapping #ShivBhojan Centers Across Maharashtra

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

Hello Everone,

#ShivBhojan is proving to be an important initiative by Govt of Maharashtra
for helping stranded Migrants across the state. These Eateries offer one
full meal at cost of just 5 Rs.

 To support this Noble Scheme, I mapped ShivBhojan Eateries across
Maharashtra on Interactive dashboard. I hope This will help citizen locate
the nearest eatery. Pl share.

[datameet] Please have a look: COVID- 19 Dashboard

[Digvijay Bendrikar Shinde]

Hello All,

As we are realising the imminent threat of COVID- 19, I am hereby sharing a
Covid-19 DataVisualization dashboard developed by a group of students,
postdocs, faculty, and researchers from the Nutrition Group@IITB, CTARA,
Climate Studies, and GISE Lab, Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay.

A district-level GIS map is its main feature. It is updated real-time as
per MHFW data.

Please give your feedback and share this in your professional network.
