The government finally made it a little easier to access!

Hi Justin,

I don't know what these boundaries are, but they definitely are not village boundaries. The Shapes are weirdly shaped, and the names are wrong in most places.

The boundaries and Labels in Green are from the SOI dataset, which matches my ground knowledge, while the ones in this link are in Orange.

I suggest everyone avoid this dataset, and it seems completely wrong.

Regards,

Devdatta
