I am looking for shapefiles of Agro-climatic Sub-regions in India which divide the country into 127 zones. I have access to Agro-climatic regions and Agro-ecological sub-regions (happy to share), but I am looking for *Agro-climatic Sub-regions* specifically.
It seems ICAR-National Bureau of Soil Survey & Land Use Planning has worked on drawing and re-drawing these. I have some documentation on this if you're interested in learning more.
Tagging those who may have some leads (thank you for your attention!) @icarindia @NisarHogaya @devdatalab @aditimukherji @dhavalgy @tarunpokiya @PrecisionXDev @osm_in @PratapVardhan @veenas_water

Lots of career advice going around for young academics.
Here is mine: kindness should not be conditional, just be nice to everyone since science and life are team games.
And, once you “make it” never forget that status confers the privilege, and duty, to help others.

My laptop had to suddenly reboot and I thought I lost some Stata code (been there, done that). But Stata 18 asked me if I want to recover my file and opened it as it was before and I lost nothing. Literal tears of joy 😭 Thank you, @Stata 🩷

Shefali Khanna and I are looking for a Dhaka-based RA to join our project on Solar Irrigation Pumps in Bangladesh. The RA will have a staff position at IRRI with a competitive package. Details at rb.gy/qju2z (Researcher - Socioeconomics). @econ_ra
Please do apply if you're interested - we'd love to talk to you about our work. If you know someone who might be interested, we appreciate your help in sharing this with your networks.
I am sure Mr. Hankey enjoyed his conversation with @mukundbhogale about history, industry, society, our hometown, and US National Parks. Few are as widely read, keenly interested in the world, careful in building opinions, and subtlely funny. Not biased at all :P #prouddaughter

🚨NSS 38th Round Q🚨
Has anyone worked on district identifiers for the NSS 38th round - rural only? The documentation suggests every stratum should be 1 district. But 17% of the data have stratum codes that are not in the documentation for district codes. (1/2) #EconTwitter
Any ideas on how to identify whether some districts are split into more than 1 strata for the rural areas? I appreciate any directions on how I can code this up 🙏 (2/2)
@sharanidli @mrgunalan @nihasingh06 @dev_a_patel @AditiBhowmick18 @ShamilKhedgikar @KSrivastava_ @econgaurav @teevrat @sabya_economist - tagging in case you or anyone in your network may have experience with this. Thanks a lot!
