Hello Everyone,

Greetings!

I am in need of a shapefile of NSS-Regions (NSS 2017-18 Social Consumption).

I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from members of Datameet and sincerely appreciate any help you can provide.


Thank You

Warm Regards,
Dr Nawazuddin Ahmed

The shape file is not available, but NSS Regions overlap perfectly with districts. https://mospi.gov.in/sites/default/files/NSS7626d/Estimation_Procedure_NSS76.pdf

You can just create your own shapefile by labelling districts in off-the-shelf district map of India

Dear Vastav,

Thank you for the response.

Initially, I thought along similar lines. However, I am getting errors in this case.

I followed the following steps.

1. Downloaded shape files of districts.
2. Given ids to districts similar to the coordinates file.
3. Perfectly created a district-level map.
4. Matched coordinates file's id with NSS regions.
5. Created a map, but many areas are missing in this case.

It would be great to hear more from you in this regard.

Thank You

Regards,
Nawaz
