Folks

Does anyone have any idea on how to obtain ward-wise data for Bangalore as part of the 2011 census? I am trying to help a friend source any kind of open datasets or find out who to contact in case they have access to this data.

Any ideas? Leads will be appreciated!

thanks

Kavita

Hi All,

I need data on road accidents in India for as much duration as I can. Do the government reports mention the type of accidents also ? I checked www.morth.nic.in but couldn't get detailed data out of it.

Regards,

Manas

Dear Kavita,

The 2011 data at sub district level is not yet available. Your best bet would be to use the 2001 ward level data with some extrapolation.

Hey Pravin (and other datameet members)

Thanks for the tip - would you happen to know the URL for the 2001 ward level data? If it is available online?

Not too sure if the datasets are openly available...

thanks anyways!

You can purchase this data from the census office in New Delhi or even the regional office in Koramangla.

Its strange that the department should charge citizens for access to data that has been collected with taxpayers money!

Dear Kavitha,

The ward level data 2011 is not ready as per my knowledge. You need to contact census department for the same. I am not aware of the data you are

looking for, you can also approach blore corporation for it.

I am Raja.D, worked as a data manager with IFMR, I was involved in collecting various district level development data(agriculture, labour, education, crime etc) throughout India. Feel free to contact me for these types of data.

Thanks & Regards

Hello KAvita,

Did you manage to get any ward-level data. IF yes, can you please direct me to the source. the Census website still has very little ward level information.

Hi Vindhyalakshmi,

I wrote that message a few years ago -- so to be honest I have completely lost track of that request! I believe there are some posts archived on datameet's google group where several people have listed details regarding ward-level data, that too updated versions.

sorry I couldn't be of much help!
