India Census 2011 Ward Number and Ward Name Mapping

[psa...@gmail.com]

Dear All,

Census of India gives some data at Ward Level. But the data file contains only Ward numbers and not names. So I went to Census office for the ward names. But they said they do not have it and they advised me to visit Municipal Corporations !!! So whats the use of such data if ward names are not there. Its like giving village level data with village codes instead of village names! Although, we can get ward names for some cities from here and there but that will be time consuming and incomplete! 

My question is: Is there are valid logic as to why census office does not provide ward names? 

Does anyone have a complete ward number to ward name mapping for India?

Hi Sanjib,

Could you please share a copy of the ward-level census data or a link
of where you got it? At least for my city we have areas listing per
ward so we can use that.

Hi,

Had shared the geo-directory for Census 2011 some time ago. You can follow this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/jNIPNiGfGt4

Here's the link to the datasets (in Stata format)- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t7d3sy9sage8hoz/AABogZUrrWj-6uyFFy2T8mcna?dl=0

Thanks Sumit. Curious to check out the data but don't have Strata. Someone less lazy than me in python can use this to convert the files to CSV:

Thanks, Sumit. I had seen your comment in the earlier thread. Again, I can't see which ward 1043 is in. It just says 

Greater Mumbai (M Corp.) (Part) WARD NO.-1043. So it doesn't say if it is in Ward A/B/M etc. Am I missing something? Regards,
