# resolve any district name to its LGD code
resolve_district("Poona")
# {'district_name': 'Pune', 'lgd_code': 490,

Why indiaset

Indian government data is real, official, and complete — but it lives in inconsistent formats with no standard naming. The same district gets spelled differently across Census, LGD, and common usage. indiaset fixes that.

• load_census() — clean Census 2011 district data, validated against official totals
• resolve_district() — turns any spelling of a district name ("Poona", "Badgam", "Bombay") into its permanent LGD code
