Q - Why is all Prarang India comparative analysis being done for 768 Districts & their
respective
D.H.Q. (District Head Quarter) towns?
A - The Indian geography has historically been measured by " Districts". Today, it is
politically
managed by States & U.T.s ( Union Territories) but the unit of measurement ( Census
baseline)
continues to focus on the District, for over 150 years now. " All India" thus is a sum of the
district
parts i.e. sum of 768 districts currently ( which were 640 districts only, when the last Census
took
place in 2011). Contrary to popular perception, most data being reported at a State & U.T.
level, is
not being aggregated from underlying data at an urban (towns) & rural(villages) level. India
has
approx. 9000 towns & 600000 villages, segregated into 768 districts, each with its
respective
DHQ
(District Head Quarter) town. Except for the largest 20 towns ( Metropolitan agglomerations)
where
some detailed data is gathered by the Central Government census, only basic demographic details
are available for India's cities. Detailed survey results of the District are the most important
data
points, used to model & estimate the City & State level information in India. The 768
DHQ (
District
Head Quarter) towns & 8 Union Territories, are the important Urban metrics available in
India,
for
comparative analysis. Big data of a big & diverse country.
Please note that the Mother Tongue ( highest number) of this
City/DHQ ( District
Headquarter) in Census 2011 is Kannada
Additionally, there is a
possibility that
there is more than 30K literate Urdu language population too in this
City. The Census did
NOT distinguish between literacy in Urdu vs merely speaking in Urdu
language- as such, we
can't be sure. It is therefore recommended to consider all URDU and
Kannada data
consolidated together for this City/DHQ, for any linguistic Digital
market/advertising
size
calculations.
