Administrative Boundaries (State–Village Level)

The State–Village Boundary dataset, part of the CoRE Stack, provides the official administrative boundaries of Indian states. It serves as a reference layer for integrating and visualizing other CoRE Stack datasets across state-level extents.

About Dataset

The State - Village Boundary dataset is a CoRE Stack (Commoning for Resilience and Equality) administrative reference layer representing the official boundaries of all states in India. It provides a standardized spatial framework for organizing, visualizing, and analyzing geospatial data at the state level. This dataset ensures alignment between state - village level programs and localized landscape datasets, enabling aggregation of indicators, analytics, and planning insights within state jurisdictions. It also serves as the base layer for cross-scale integration of hydrological, ecological, and socio-economic datasets in the CoRE Stack.

Technical details and methodologies are available in the CoRE Stack Technical Manual: https://core-stack.org/core-stack-technical-manual-v2/

Purpose of Dataset

The Purpose Of The State - Village Boundary Dataset Is To Provide A Standardized Administrative Framework For State-level Geospatial Analysis And Integration. It Supports Consistent Visualization, Data Aggregation, And Policy Alignment Across Diverse Core Stack Datasets—hydrological, Ecological, And Socio-economic. Serving As A Foundational Reference Layer, It Enables State-scale Planning, Comparative Assessment, And Coordination Of Landscape Management Initiatives Within Official Administrative Boundaries.
