District-to-Parliamentary constituency concordance

[pmay...@gmail.com]

Hi,

There have been a number of approaches taken to map parliamentary constituencies to the districts to which they, more or less, correspond. Is there such a list in our rich repository of information? Or perhaps a map which presents both?

best wishes,

Peter

The authoritative source for a Constituency <> Village lookup is available at https://lgdirectory.gov.in/downloadDirectory.do (State wise parliamentary/assembly constituency)

You can take a look at what this looks like for Karnataka here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/planemad/india-local-government-directory/master/political/1-2-constituency/29-karnataka-constituency.csv

You could definitely use this to build a lookup to check what all constituencies are covered in a district, but a 1:1 mapping would be tricky.

Hi Arun,

Thanks for this! Your Karnataka example is very promising. BUT: when I go to the Local Government Directory, I can't find the constituency links you mention, just states, districts, sub-districts, etc. Where are they hiding the constituency data?

best wishes,

Peter
