Thanks so much Prateek, Naveen and Ravi.  I will first make a csv file with 
schoolname, district, pincode. We will keep updating this with lat.long, 
possibly from the above link given by Ravi.  

After this I will attend to the challenge of shape files for each pincode area.  
Initially we will keep the schools randomly around the lat/long,and then get 
it corrected through some citizen science engagement.
