Thanks; just opening up the block boundaries in Google Earth; they have a 
slight shift.  Easily fixed.

Thanks!

Re: [datameet] Re: Census of India seems to have maps of everything!

[Sudheendra Hangal]

We have put up the KML files for the wards of Hubli-Dharwad at
http://hack4hd.org/?page_id=813
(there may be slight inaccuracies at the edges, and there is some confusion
in the city between administrative and electoral boundaries. But it should
be largely correct to a first approximation.)

Btw, I encourage everyone to have a look at the data sets on this page --
they include civil works, bills paid, civic complaints filed etc., thanks
to the cooperation of the H-D municipal corporation, I think this is the
first time in India that a city has put up so much data online. We are
working to capture GIS information with even more data and bring it online
later this year.

That is how we got them for Nelamangala (through the CEO of the 
municipal council).


Ramanagara Commissioner was totally non-cooperative--threw us out.

Have you put the Hubli-Dharwad map out in public domain? You should.

At least in Karnataka, you can contact the Municipal Reforms Cell (MRC) for
getting the ward-level shape files for various urban local bodies.

Re: [datameet] Re: Census of India seems to have maps of everything!

1. Python codes can be used for converting those json files into shape 
files. Using geopandas library the task is simple for such a large number 
of files, the code goes as follows,

import geopandas as gpd
import glob
from geopandas import GeoDataFrame

jsn=glob.glob("/home/me/raw-json-102-241/*.json")
#getting the list of json file in the folder

df1=pd.DataFrame()
for js in jsn:
dd = gpd.read_file(js)
dd1=dd[[u'DIST_NAME', 'NAME', 'OBJECTID','STAT_NAME', u'TEHS_NAME', u
'geometry']]
df1=df1.append(dd1)

#looping over each json file and opening it with geopandas cool tool 
read_file(json)

db1 = GeoDataFrame(df1, columns=[u'DIST_NAME', 'NAME', 'OBJECTID',
'STAT_NAME', u'TEHS_NAME', u'geometry'], index=df1.index)

#organizing the looped shape formats and converting into geodataframe
#now saving the shape file!
db1.to_file('v102-241.shp',driver='ESRI Shapefile')

2. There is a web map service(WMS) for this same data (I am little sure!) 
2001 census map upto village/town level. See this link for more 
info http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/115876 to use that WMS in QGIS. Here 
also the data is not available in readily usable format, it is available in 
raster format (aka pdf format!).  

3. I think the RTI can be stress it out for shape files or form of data 
which can be "used" not only for simple "view". Moreover the RTI can be 
more emphasis to the demand on already published data as pdf files/WMS such 
as village or town level map, as the ward level map is not published, it 
can raise the denial of RTI.

[Sharad Lele [शरच्चंद्र लेले]]

Here is an update from my colleague who tried to get these maps:

/I called Delhi folks. Apparently, town with ward boundary maps are not 
available for public dissemination at the moment for any state. He asked 
me to purchase the state map book (which is available online) for the 
all the maps they have. /


Clearly, RTI is called for.

HI,

That rate list is of 2006. 
Has anyone actually purchased maps?
There is also no information how to order them.

ORG&CCI do have maps and are selling Paper versions and JPEG versions.
http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Maps/Map_Products/Rate_link/rate_list_for_maps.html

I am doubtful about them making available geo-referenced digital maps
though, considering the National Mapping Policy 2005

SoI mandate and MoD restrictions.

1. I could not find any urban ward-level boundaries in the pdf. I
only see taluk-wise or tehsil-wise maps in which village
boundaries are shown, and also the urban area is marked as a

something?

2. About shapefile: Ah! this is the eternal battle! As I said in

Till then we have to take the shapefiles we have (such as the one
I posted for Karnataka) and update them using the pdf as a guide.

Dear Sudheendra:

Well, you know how right hand does not know what left hand has done.

Please see the ppt that Census person made to NSDI in 2011:

https://*nsdi*india.gov.in/ 
*nsdi*/*nsdi*portal/*nsdi*10/presentations/*census*.pdf


They claim to have ward boundaries for more than 7,000 towns

I very much doubt the census bureau (or anyone else) has the shape files at
a ward level across the country.

I know that Hubli-Dharwad recently commissioned a company to generate shape
files for their wards (that data is soon going to be made available). But
if it already existed, they wouldn't have needed to.

Re: [datameet] Re: Census of India seems to have maps of everything!

[nishadh]

Dear Sharad,

1. Sorry, the statement-ward level is wrong, it is village or town level. I 
was referring to "Town code/Village code" 
in census data, which is marked in the pdf maps and it is the lowest level, 
unique code in the map. 
The ward level data in census tables (population enumeration tables or 
house listing tables) 
doesn't has a unique code and is linked with Town code/Village code as its 
serial numbers.
   
2. Regarding the shape file, this link would be a good start for 2001 
census data village map 
https://archive.org/details/IndiaVillageBoundaries. Though incomplete, the 
data has boundary for some 2,80,000 villages.


Regards,
Nishadh

Re: [datameet] Re: Census of India seems to have maps of everything!

[Sharad Lele [शरच्चंद्र लेले]]

The original claim that Census has all these maps was made on the basis 
of a ppt that was found online by a senior Census officer, in which he 
states in detail what mapping work Census has done for 2011 census. 
Please look up the first post in this thread.
