The three data sets currently in the collection are: India Annual Winter Cropped Area, v1 (2001-2016), which uses NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time series to produce gridded files of annual winter cropped areas for most of India (except the Northeastern states) from 2000-2001 to 2015-2016; India Village-Level Geospatial Socio-Economic Data Set, v1 (1991, 2001) provides over 200 socio-economic variables for 1991 and 2001 at the finest level of spatial disaggregation in India; over 600,000 administrative units at village/town level (or sub-district/taluka level when village/town data are not available); and the newest data set, Spatial Data from the 2011 India Census, v1 (2011) which consists of gridded estimates of India population at a resolution of 1 kilometer along with two spatial renderings of urban areas, one based on tabulations from the official census and the other on remotely-sensed measures of built-up land derived from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) data set.
