CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 RAJASTHAN DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK JHUNJHUNU DISTRICT C. S. GUPTA OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Superintendent of Census Operations, Rajasthan Printed by Mafatlal Z. Gandhi. at Nayan PrintiDI Press. Ahmedabad-t. FOREWORD The Census data has always been considered as indispensable for day to day administration. It is increasingly being considered now as the foundation stone of all regional planning. The publication of this series of District Census Handbooks wherein census statistics is made available for smaller territorial units is, therefore, a significant occasion for it fills many existing _gaps in statistics at the lower levels. Many interesting details have been revealed by the Census 1961 and I hope persons engaged in the administration of the State and public in general will appreciate the value and the effort that has gone into the production of such a standard book of reference. I congratulate the Superintendent of Census Operations, Rajasthan, Shri C. S. Gupta I. A. S. and his colleagues who have done a good job with skill and perseverence. B. MEHTA JAIPUR. Chief Secretary 1st March. 1966. to the Government of Rajasthan. iii PREFACE The District Census Handbooks. to which series the present volume belongs. are the gifts of the Census of India and were fIrst introduced in 1951. The 1961 series of District Census Handbooks are more elaborate than their counter-part in 1951 and present all important census data alongwith such other basic information as is very relevant for an understanding of the district. A wide variety of information which the Census 1961 collected has already been released in several parts as mentioned elsewhere in this book. The information contained in the present volume will be found useful by the Government, the district administration, persons engaged in regional planning. social workers and scholars in the field of humanities. Unfortunately these Handbooks became available to tbe users rather late in the decade. This was due to difficulties in printing. The Government Press Jodhpur, to whom this work was assigned by the State Government. had a heavy back log of printing and found it impossible to print all the books in the series itself. Arrangements had therefore to be made to get these printed through a private press. I trust a more expeditious method for printing of such valuable matter in time will be devised in future. I am grateful to Shri Asok Mitra, Registrar General. India for his guidance in this work from time to time. I am greatly beholden to the State Government for their kindly agreeing, as they also did in 1951, to get this series published at their C6)st. Dr. U. B. Mathur, Dy. Superintendent Census Operations, Rajasthan assisted me in editing this series. Tabulation Officer Shri S. R. Luhadia assiduously worked for compilation of the information presented in the book and has seen it through the press. Many of the facts and figures incorporated in the book were built up after scrutiny of a lot of raw material and by personal contacts. This task was admirably done by Shri Ram Autar Gupta, Statistical Assistant. Without their sincere cooperation and the assistance rendered by various members of the staff, mentioned overleaf, who were associated with this work. it would have been bardly possible to present the information which is the subject matter of this book. I thank them all. C. S. GUPTA JAIPUR. Superintendent, 15th August, 1966. CenslI$ Operations, Rajasthan. v OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFF ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WORK Shri Wali Haider Computor Shri R. N.
