India 2001 (and 2011) census Village Directory data

[Esha Zaveri]

Hi all,

This was asked a while ago, but am facing a similar question with an added request about 2011 data. Does anyone have access to Village Directory data from 2001 and 2011 Census in spreadsheet or a similar format? If not at the village, district-level data can work too. 

Thanks very much,

Esha

I have received some of the Census'01 village level data that you're looking for. Can send once the entire dataset is available. Let me know if you still need the dataset.

Hello everyone, 

I am wondering if any of you have the village-wise 2001 Indian census data in a spreadsheet (or similar) format? I am basically looking for information at the village level from the 2001 census (e.g., population of the village, number of households in the village, etc.)

The data is available online at the census website here http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Village_Directory/View_data/Village_Profile.aspx but it is not available in a spreadsheet. I have already tried web scraping the data, but it is painfully slow, so I'm wondering if I can find it elsewhere.

Many thanks,

Fenella

Use this dataset with caution. I had only worked on a subset of this- Maharashtra- and found some coding errors.

Let me know if you have any other question.

Thanks,

Sumit

Esha,

The latest village directory (Census'11) is still not out. However, 2001 data is available on the Census digital library.

Thanks,

Sumit
