How
it works :
To generate theme-based
maps, one has to reach the Census GIS web page at http://www.censusindiamaps.net/IndiaCensus/Map.htm
and select first the area (viz., India, Uttar Pradesh etc.). There are
three options available for selection. These are:
India
map showing Sates/Union territories
India map showing Districts
Each State/ Union territory showing Districts.
After
the area, the next step is to select any one Category from a drop down
menu. The categories are:
- Population
- Population 0-6 years
- Population
Density
- Percentage
of Urban Populationv Sex Ratio
- Sex Ratio
0-6 years
- Percentage
of Decadal Growth
- Number of
Literates
- Number of
Illiterates
- Literacy
Ratev Gender Gap in Literacy Rate
- Gap in Urban-Rural
Literacy Rate
|
- Number of
Workers (Total, Main and Marginal)
- Work Participation
Rate
- Percentage
of Workers to Total Population (Main and Marginal)
- Category
of Workers (Cultivators, Agricultural Labourers,
Household Industry
Workers an Other Workers)
- Percentage
of Category of Workers to Total Workers.
|
The third
and final step is to select the Indicator from among the list provided
in the drop down menu. These are in fact sub-population of the main Category
selected. For example, the Indicators under the Category 'Population'
are the following:
- Persons (Total)
- Persons (Rural)
- Persons (Urban)
- Males (Total)
- Males (Rural) |
- Males (Urban)
- Females (Total)
- Females (Rural)
- Females (Urban) |
For building
query use the 'Operator' (e.g., =, <, <=, >, >=) and indicate
a 'Value' for locating States or Districts which satisfy the conditions.
A few thematic maps
generated using Census GIS provided for free use at the Census of India
