Where the data comes from
- OpenStreetMap, the open map of the world built by volunteers. © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License; our places table is a derived database offered under the same licence.
- Bank branches from the Reserve Bank of India's IFSC lists, as compiled by github.com/razorpay/ifsc (public domain). The lists give the branch's address, IFSC and MICR but no map position: a branch gets one only when exactly one OpenStreetMap bank in the same district matches it, otherwise it is listed by district (or by mandal when its town is a mandal's name) with no distance.
- Post offices from India Post's All India Pincode Directory (data.gov.in, Government Open Data Licence – India). Its listed position is used only when it falls inside the office's own district.
- Suggestions from VoiceOfVillage members, added only after an editor checks them.
What to keep in mind
- Distances are straight-line from the village's map point, not road distance or travel time.
- 14% of villages have a map point today. For the others we list places in the same mandal or district instead of distances.
- Phone numbers, websites and opening hours appear only when the source lists them. We never add them ourselves. Call before you travel.
- A place missing here may still exist: the map is incomplete, especially in rural areas.
- Places of worship are listed by what the place itself is, never as a statement about who lives nearby.
Help improve it
On any listing, use Report a problem. On a village page, use Suggest a missing place. You can also add places directly to OpenStreetMap; we refresh from it regularly.
