Collaborative Project: Naming the 819-Seat Delimitation Map
Pranjay Parashar
Hi DataMeet community,
Following up on my previous post regarding Assembly shapefiles, I want to thank the group—the insights and resources shared here have been incredibly helpful as we scaled our GIS infrastructure at Stats&Data.
We have now finalized the complete spatial and demographic grid for our upcoming Pan-India Delimitation Atlas. The mathematical modeling is officially complete, successfully projecting a new 819-seat Lok Sabha framework based on the 50% uniform seat increase proposed by the government.
While the coordinates, GIS boundaries, and demographic algorithms are entirely locked in, we want to open up the final qualitative step to the community. When you carve out hundreds of new constituencies, they need appropriate names.
We are looking to collaborate with local political data enthusiasts and regional experts across different states to help us accurately name these newly drawn seats based on their geographic, historical, and cultural centers.
If you have a deep understanding of your state's local geography and want to help name its future electoral map, please drop a reply or send me a direct message.
Thanks again for your time and the continued great work in this group!
Best,
Pranjay Parashar
