Data insights	LGD coding of blocks offers a standardized system for unique identification, benefiting governance, resource allocation, and data integration. This system promotes administrative efficiency, assists in equitable resource distribution, and supports disaster management. It aids urban planning, demographic analysis, and targeted interventions in healthcare and education. Additionally, LGD codes facilitate business decisions, streamline electoral processes, and enhance government transparency. Overall, LGD's role is pivotal in informed decision-making, efficient service delivery, and sustainable development at the local level, making it an invaluable asset for policymakers, researchers, and administrators.

Methodology	The process of collecting and assigning LGD codes to every block involves meticulous data collection, verification, and standardization. The process begins with the collection of administrative data at the grassroots level. This includes details about the administrative boundaries, such as block names, district names, and geographical coordinates. Data is sourced from state and union territory governments, local administrative bodies, and surveys. To ensure consistency and accuracy, collected data undergoes a rigorous standardization process. LGD codes are assigned based on a standardized coding system. Each block is uniquely identified by an LGD code. These codes are generated systematically, often incorporating elements such as state codes, district codes, and sequential block numbers. The LGD database is regularly updated to reflect changes due to administrative modifications, such as the creation of new blocks, block bifurcations, or boundary adjustments.
