Delhi ward shapefile for census 2011 data

[Renaud Misslin]

Dear all,

I am currently trying to find a map of wards in Delhi that would match the census data of 2011. I tried to join ward wise population data from the census website with a shape file I found in this group (see this page : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/datameet/ward/datameet/1b_VhZ8leJE/dRhs5M3FprAJ). It appears that this data was extracted from this website : http://app.mapmyindia.com/mcdApp/

The problem is : I am not sure that ward bounderies used for the 2011 census match ward bounderies found on this web site. For example, ward n°177 (Sangam Vihar) is supposed to have a population of 107 021 (which is one of the largest ward population in Delhi). But when I surimpose satellite images on this population map, the ward n°177, supposedly crawded, contains mostly vegetated area. 

I double checked everything and the only explanation I could find is that the census wards and the wards extracted from the previous website have different bounderies.

Would someone has an idea or a "census 2011" ward wise shp that I could use to get the right population in the matching ward ?

Thanks a lot !

Hi Renaud, came across this ( https://archive.org/details/delhi-wards-map ) by Thejesh in my own ward map search, don't know if it's the same one you're using, but he would probably be able to tell you more about it! -shijith

Hi Shijith, thanks a lot for answering and sharing. Yes, it's the same ward map i used. I will try to contact Thejesh. 

I attached a screenshot of the supposedly crawded ward 177 i talked in my previous post. This screenshot comes from the kml file I downloaded on Shijith's link.
