Merging recent discussions from district[1] and constituency [2] boundaries.

The current tagging scheme for boundaries in India[3]  has limitations
since it was not effectively researched to properly separate revenue and
local body boundaries.

This is the reason to draw up a more well researched proposal[4]

Jaisen, who has experience working with the panchayat office in Kerala has
just made the proposal more comprehensive[5]. This is right now the most
detailed description of various boundaries in India that one can find
anywhere online.

This is a great time to get more eyes on this and work towards a final
scheme.
