Re: [External Email] [datameet] PIN Codes to Latitude-Longitude India

None of this is accurate. Pretty much nobody has accurate data on pincode to latlong *boundaries*. I used to head Data Science for a large Indian logistics company, and this is something we attempted to get several times. And to the best of my knowledge, there was no good data on this. The bes

As you would expect from the Indian government, while the Periodic Labour Force Study for 2017-18 was finally released, it's been released as a single PDF. Has anyone succeeded in converting all the tables into an easy to read format such as CSV or excel? http://mospi.nic.in/sites/default/file

Speaking of data.gov.in, any idea of the rationale behind asking you for the "purpose" of getting the data before downloading it? Doesn't it make the data less open if you need to go through a statement-of-purpose loop? -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India. Know mor

[datameet] Script to download from data.gov.in

One annoying thing about data.gov.in is that they put out data in multiple files in a single catalog, and with the number of such files occasionally being large, downloading them manually is an extremely painful process. Just wanted to check if any of you has written a script to download all CS

Just a thought related to the email I sent last week about data-hoarders not releasing data to the public. Can we make a small beginning on this one at the Open Data Camp this weekend? Perhaps we can make it mandatory for each and every speaker at the sessions to make public some data that they po
