Panchayat Block Shapefiles

[Sutirtha Roy]

Dear DMers: The panchayat block level shapefiles seem to be available at: http://areaprofiler.gov.in/ > Citizen's section>GIS report

Choose "GIS report on by election held" to get maps like these:

The result is a panchayat boundary which is a combination of villages as is shown by NRDWP website.

​Shapefiles for these maybe quite interesting to study sub-national financing at the grassroots level or panchayat election results on different outcomes.

If there is interest in the group, can we explore a way to coordinate the liberation of these GIS files?

Best,

Sutirtha​
