Dear All,
I was a little confused.
Attached are the extracts from 2001 / 2011 shapefiles as snippet.
I think censuscode in 2011 shapefile = Census 2011 code for a District.
I further think DT_CEN_CD in 2011 OR 2011 shapefiles = Census 2001
code for a District.
I would like to confirm this.
Best,
Ashim
