Mouza-wise E/P Ratio

Rather than doing so part-wise (as required do so in Format 2 of Formats 1-7), it may be easier to compute Mouza / Wardwise Elector : Population (E/P) Ratio. Here is how:

Use Census 2001 figures, project it to 2008 and use elector data mouza-wise by applying a filter to Excel Format 4.2 / 4.3.

Please prepare list of top 5 mouzas with highest E/P Ratio and bottom 5 mouzas with lowest E/P ratio for each AC and tell us.

Few brief issues:-
(a) State Level Political Party Meeting postponed to 20.3.2008
(b) Correlation table from Purba and Paschim Midnapore Districts not received yet: PLEASE HURRY
(c) We'll meet ADM (Elec) & District OC Elections on 25.3.2008 at 11 am at Rotunda, Writers', Kolkata on Pollling Station Rationalisation, Delimitation and Erolls/EPICs. Some districts may please come with short case-studies on rationalisation / delimitation: we'll discuss few interesting illustrative examples in the open meeting.

State Level Political Party Meeting on 14.3.2008

We'll hold a State Level All Political Party Meeting at Kolkata on 14.3.2008. The agenda for discussions would include (a) Implementation of Delimitation Order following Presidential Notification (b) Rationalisation of Polling Stations and (c) Photo-Electoral Rolls.

I'd need the correlation Excel table for ALL ACs before that - without the New Part Numbers if that's going to take a while. Today was the target date. However, I've received reports from Coochbehar, Bankura, Murshidabad, Kolkata (NE) and Kolkata (NW) only by today.

Other districts are requested to please send the data by email as soon as possible.

Delimitation Correlation - COMPLETE BY 10/15.3.08

We've sent the Pilot Correlations in Excel Format to the Election Commission on the scheduled date of 29.2.2008. While I appreciate the effort put in by the districts, it appears that there are certain district-specific errors: we'd give our observations to the respective districts within a day or two.
Meanwhile, we must complete the exercise for all ACs of each district. The time table is as follows:
By 10.3.2008: To furnish to us by email in Excel format reports for all ACs in each district in 4.2/4.3 along with a summary of the new ACs (Name of New AC / No of parts / no of electors) but WITHOUT NEW PART NOs IN LAST COLUMN)
By 15.3.2008: Send hard + soft copy alongwith part nos. of new ACs.
