India Census & Administrative

Indian Village Boundaries are available from a volunteer created project called Data{Meet}. Since this is an open source project, we have not been able to evaluate the accuracy or completeness of the village data, which is available in GeoJSON format. (Note GeoJSON can easily be converted into Shapefiles, using GDAL commands or in QGIS.
India Administrative Atlas 1872-2001 provides details on the changes of adminstrative boundaries. See Record in Stanford Univ Library.

Webmaps and Webservices

Bhuvan Indian Geo-Platform of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Provides a rich platform of Land Use, Flood Hazards, Admin Divisions, Transportation, Waterbodies, and many other layers. These can be browsed and queried online, or connected to as WMS layers.
Water Resources of India provides a webmap of many useful layers such as watersheds, river basins, aquifers, groundwater depth, soil productivity, etc. This map makes use of data published by the Water Resources Information System of the Central Water Commission. Read more details.
