India #tagcoding

The INlgu code uses the coding pattern devised in the recommendation of the Census of India - Metadata and Data Standard (MDDS) Committee. Its full details are in the Census of India document: Census 2011 - Location Code Directory.

This is the coding convention of the MDDS Committee:

• A State code of 2 digits within India
• A District code of 3 digits continuous code within India
• A Sub-district code of 5 digits continuous code within India
• A Village code of 6 digits continuous code within India in which the range of 000001 – 799999 is for Villages and the range 800001 - 899999 is for statutory towns.

For instance Dilawarpur Tehsil has sub-district code 04343, it is part of District Adilabad with code 532, in Andhra Pradesh with State code 28.
