Data insightsLGD coding of villages 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.

MethodologyThe data collection and LGD code assignment process on the LGD website involve a collaborative effort between local, state, and central government authorities. The process begins with data collection from multiple sources, including state government records, census data, and surveys conducted by relevant government departments. These sources provide comprehensive information about villages, their boundaries, population, and administrative details. The collected data is standardized to ensure consistency and accuracy. This involves reconciling variations in naming conventions and administrative hierarchies. Once the data is standardized, LGD codes are assigned to each village. LGD codes are unique identifiers designed to represent each village unambiguously. Village data and LGD codes can change due to administrative reforms, boundary modifications, or other reasons. Consequently, the LGD database is regularly updated to promptly reflect these changes.
