Hi Ravi

What you are looking for should be available in the folder titled "13. OPEN POLYGONS AND SPATIAL STATISTICS" from SHRUG 2.0 here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/it0dk1znotiap9w2zjz7l/h?rlkey=qjsueenrj7xrg2v9wsob5iyt5&dl=0

Don't forget to match the Shrid IDs from the folder titled "1. CORE KEYS".

This data set was prepared by DevDataLab after years of work, and their work has been quite reliable (at least for economists) over the past few years. You can read more about them here: https://www.devdatalab.org/

Thanks and regards.

Yours sincerely

Before using the dataset from SHRUG, please check out the license of the data. AFAIK, you cannot use this dataset for Commercial use.

You could also look at this dataset from SOI: Survey Of India Open Series Map Toponyms (kaggle.com)

Devdatta

Hi Devdatta

Thanks for stressing the license. Yes, please don't use SHRUG commercially. My assumption was that people's needs on this group would be non-commercial, but it never hurts to stress it. Thanks once again.
