India Conflict Events with Georeferenced Village-Level Detail

UCDP's most disaggregated dataset covers individual events of organized violence in India. Events are geo-coded to the level of individual villages and have temporal durations disaggregated to single days. The dataset is based on research from Uppsala University and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of organized violence based on village-level geo-coding.
• Model temporal trends in conflict events based on daily-level disaggregation.
• Conduct sub-national conflict risk assessments based on fine-grained event data.
• Validate or supplement other conflict datasets based on the high-resolution UCDP methodology.

Strengths

• Events are geo-coded down to the level of individual villages.
• Temporal durations are disaggregated to single, individual days.
• Dataset is based on established academic research from Uppsala University.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the UCDP collection methodology for India.
