Hi,

I am looking for district shapefiles as per 1991 borders, with 1991 census codes. The 2001 and 2011 shapefiles are readily available, but I cannot find the 1991 files online. I know MLinfomap sells them, but perhaps someone on here knows a publicly available source. I'll be grateful for any leads on this.

Thanks,
Raahil

Yours sincerely

Actually, several new districts have been carved out after 2022 on the pretext of better governance. Though its motive was entirely different. If anyone has a latest shapefiles of the districts, plz share. Furthermore, it should depict entire India (i.e. it should be with the occupied portions of J&K and Ladakh).

Thank you very much dear Akshay. If you take case of Rajasthan, it has increased from 33 to 50 now. It would be updated again. Same applies to other States of India. 
Number of Blocks/ Tehsils, and Panchayat Samitis etc. always keep on increasing, after sub-dividing the existing ones.

Dear Sir,
Please see the attached file containing districts updated for 2024. I checked with Jaipur district and it shows Jaipur urban and rural as different districts.
