Warning

Many of government datasets in India come with unclear license and usage terms. While many data enthusiasts have made these datasets available and re-shared with the community under an open license (CC0) - it does not automatically mean the dataset is open. Visit the source to learn the terms of use and ensure your usage complies with them.
