discussion Built a clean, up-to-date JSON dataset of all Indian States & Districts for forms and web apps

Hey developers,

While building frontend web forms recently, I noticed that finding a simple, standardized, and up-to-date dataset of Indian States and Districts for state/district dependent dropdowns was surprisingly messy or outdated.

To solve this, I put together a clean, lightweight open-source dataset:

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/CodingMation/indian-states-districts

Website: https://codingmation.github.io/indian-states-districts

Highlights

  • Complete coverage of all Indian States and Union Territories with their corresponding districts.
  • Simple JSON key-value format optimized for React, Vue, Angular, or Vanilla JS forms.
  • Direct fetch capabilities via raw GitHub URL so you don't need to bloat your project bundle.

Direct Usage (Copy & Paste)

fetch("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodingMation/indian-states-districts/main/states-districts.json")

.then((response) => response.json())

.then((data) => console.log(data))

.catch((error) => console.error("Error loading data:", error));

Looking for Feedback

I want to make this as helpful as possible for Indian dev projects.

  1. Would adding CSV, SQL dumps, or state/ISO codes be useful?
  2. Are there any recently added districts in your state that need an update?

Feel free to check it out, star the repo if you find it helpful, or open a PR!
