Hi Everyone,

I'm working on dividing Maharashtra into a group of regions, where each group has a significant topography, vegetation index, climatic changes, soil types and population census. By doing this I want to understand how we can cluster different regions of a Maharashtra into one group. For this, I need the following information of Maharashtra:

1. Population census
2. Regional vegetation index
3. Regional soil types
4. Climatic changes
5. Terrian map

Please guide me where I can get such information.

Thanking you

Cheers,
Jothirnadh

Hi,

Are you looking for all this in one map? Not sure if of help - but the Agriculture department will have the agro-climatic map (maharashtra is divided in 9 zones) as well as soil map too. Try also Bhuvan. But you may have to follow-up with the departments.Also try checking with National Geographic maps.

A consolidated agri-climate data was put together for 1957-1987 by duke econ department: https://ipl.econ.duke.edu/dthomas/dev_data/datafiles/india_agric_climate.htm

Their data resources may serve as pointers for your requirements. Otherwise please find a few more resources, that I know of, inline.

You may consider combining the agroclimatic map here: http://iasri.res.in/agridata//12data%5Cchapter1%5Cdb2012tb1_2.pdf with the table on page 220 here: http://planningcommission.nic.in/aboutus/committee/wrkgrp11/wg11_agrclim.pdf to get a list of crops and agricultural products in a agclimate zone. ​

3. Regional soil types

4. Climatic changes

5. Terrian map
