Every village in India,
by the government’s own code.

The Local Government Directory — state, district, tehsil, block, village, Gram Panchayat, ward — as one REST API, with what it takes to say which Chhana.

API reference

31 endpoints, one envelope, every response stamped with its LGD export date.

An empty list means “None of the listed”

A list is empty exactly when LGD has nothing at that level — a village with no Gram Panchayat, a body with no wards. Your form shows the one fallback and moves on.

{"data":[],"meta":{"count":0}}

A repeated name comes back as every row, with a hint

Two villages called Chhana in one tehsil: both returned, each with what separates them. Show “label — hint”; the user picks.

[
 {
  "code": 53003,
  "label": "Chhana",
  "hint": "Dhauladevi Block · GP Aarchali · Census 053003 · LGD 53003"
 },
 {
  "code": 53075,
  "label": "Chhana",
  "hint": "Hawalbag Block · GP Chhana · Census 053075 · LGD 53075"
 }
]

notes says what LGD reports about a row

In words, on every record — “No Gram Panchayat In LGD”, “Duplicate Entry In LGD”. Nothing hidden, nothing corrected.

 "code": 562051,
 "name": "Kari",
 "notes": [
  "Gram Panchayat Is Under A Different Block"
 ]
}

The API

One call resolves any code.

LGD codes are the same in every government system, so a village code from your own records resolves at /v1/villages/{code} without saying which state — with its district, tehsil, block, Gram Panchayats, census codes, and the notes LGD’s own reports raise.

Coverage

State by state, as LGD publishes it.

Each state is loaded from the Ministry’s own exports — twelve spreadsheets whose tables only half agree. We load them as published, link what LGD leaves unlinked, and keep every finding as a note. More states on request.

How the loading works →
