Hi
Ms Murack
I
saw you query on the Maps-l and forwarded to a colleague.
Please see his reply below. He also recommended that you
join Institute of Town Planners India (ITPI) LinkedIn Group
and he will approve your request and then you may post your
query onto the group.
I
hope that this helps.
Thank
you. :)

Print/ Digital form:
Survey of India could be the possible source, however the
ward level data may be a problem. City level would be
available (1:5000 or lesser). The 1:10000 maps are easily
available (both forms) and they call it Topo maps, available
against payment. As far I remember, its not pricey in terms
of Indian Rupees (INR), and would be peanuts in comparison
of USD.
The other source would be
cities itself, most of the cities have completed their
digitization. The Municipal Corporations could be contacted
for this, especially ward level data.
The census documents
definitely cover such maps (city level), the alternate
source would be university libraries (if the census
department is a problem). The private vendors do have all
possible data but would be problem in terms of sharing /
pricing part.
NSDI may have the
repositories available, the state level Regional Remote
Sensing Centres / Space Applications Centres would possible
have the data.

Hi,
I’m working
with a student who wants the ward boundaries for as many
cities as she can get from the 1991 and 2001 India Census
(she already has the data, just not the boundaries). We have
data for a few cities and I’ve been in touch with some
vendors but this GIS data is really pricey. The student also
said she’d be willing to look at paper maps of these
boundaries and she actually already contacted the census
department in India, but no one seemed to know anything
about print maps, even though they are listed on their
website.
Does anyone
have suggestions for sources for this data? I’m looking into
both print and electronic.
Thanks,
Jennie
