Because of their usefulness they are being printed in every census since then. Though District Census Handbooks are State Government publications, the data to be presented in them are processed and compiled in the Census Office. District Census Handbook has been divided into three parts, viz., (i) Part A containing Town and Village Directory, (ii) Part B containing Village and Townwise Primary Census Abstract and (iii) Part C containing Analytical Report, Administrative Statistics and District Census Tables. It was envisaged that the three parts should be brought out separately as data for all the parts may not be available at the same time. Since materials for Part B were ready before printing of Part A could be taken up, parts A and B for the district of Saharsa are being brought out together in the present volume. Part C will be brought out separately. The Explanatory Note at the beginning of Part A gives the details of information contained in the Town Directory and the Village Directory. Similarly, the Explanatory Note at the begin ning of Part B gives the details of information contained in the Primary Census Abstract. Alphabetical list of villages showing names of villages and their serial number in Village Direc tory and Primary Census Abstract has been given at the beginning of the volume to facilitate reference to Village Directory and Villagewise Primary Census Abstract. To make this Handbook more useful Community Development Block maps in reduced scale have also been given at the end of the volume as in 1961. These maps have been prepared from the Anchal maps in the scale 1"=1 mile which were traced from the old Revenue Thana map in the same scale. A map of the district showing administrative divisions has also been given at the beginning. I am grateful to the vast multitude of Enumerators and Supervisors who collected the basic data in the Mauzawar Note at the time of houselisting and in the Individual Slip at the time of enumeration. Charge Superintendents, Subdivisional Officers and District Officers alongwith the Subdivisional Census Officers and District Census Officers organised the programme and super vised it in their respective areas. I am grateful to them. I am also grateful to the various departments of the State Government for all their co-operation at various stages of census. In my own office Shree U. P. Shrivastava, Deputy Director organised the work of compilation of the figures presented in District Census Handbooks Parts A and B. He was ably assisted by Shree P. N. Sinha, Tabulation Officer and his team of Statistical Assistants, Computors and Assistant Compilers. The information contained in Part B was basically compiled in respective Regional Tabulation Offices under the supervision of the respective Deputy Directors. Shree R. B. Singh, Investigator, Shree Maheshwar Prasad, Tabulation Officer, Shree Sidheshwar Prasad Verma, Junior Investigator and Shree Sheo Prasad, Printing Inspector have helped in getting the volume printed. Shree M. Abbas, Senior Geographer assisted by his team prepared the maps which are found in this volume. I am sincerely obliged to all of them. I am indebted to Dr. B. K. Roy, Burman, Deputy Registrar General (S. S.), Dr. B. K. Roy, Map Officer, Shree K. K. Chakravorty, Assistant Registrar General and all the members of their respective teams for providing necessary guidelines for this publication. It is difficult to express in words my obligation to Shree A. Chandra Sekhar, Registrar General and Census Commis sioner of India whose inspiration and guidance lay behind whatever we did in discharge of our duties. I am grateful to Mis Eagle Offset Printers, Allahabad. which undertook the work of printing this volume and accomplished it with promptness. PAlNA B. L.
