This repository contains a data set of pan-India data around:
-

Nearby District Mapping: For each district in India, a mapping of the districts it shares a physical boundary with. We have a maximum of 7 neighbours.
-
Agmark Mandis: Agmark (agmarknet.gov.in/) is the most reliable government-run agri-info site that provides latest mandi prices for mandis across India. The mapping here consists of all the names of the mandis as provided in the website and their respective districts and states
-

-
State Website Links: Links for individual agri state websites for each state and our feedback on whether they provide agri information as intended or not
The data was pulled from multiple government websites, last updated in Jan 2023 by Gramhal Foundation. It is also available in google sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rEfSVGnpgOZbtGfMilIwcR4a23SP_-QNZpTOaE0GPOc/edit?usp=sharing
You can also duplicate the sheet tab, update your changes and keep it here if there are multiple fixes needed, or, add a new sheet if you validated mappings around a new resource. In both cases, please add a separate sheet tab titled '<Your Org/Name> - ' and keep the Tab colour as Red. Post review, a sheet's colour will be shifted to Blue, indicating data is verified.
As we have done with our data, you can also protect your individual sheets and people can suggest edits around your data in the Feedback tab.
If you find our work helpful or have any other comments on how we could improve it, please leave a comment in the Feedback Sheet tab. Thanks! :)
