The legend of the Sarswati is not only very old but very widely diffused, and the oft observed phenomenon of subterranean chan nels, in the centre of the Duab lands colour to the theory that at one time an actual and visible river flowed between the Ganges and the Jamuna. It was here that Brahma is said to have performed the ASWAMEDHA or horse sacrifice in token of his universal supremacy, although the honour is claimed by other places, and here the deity commemorated the recovery of the four VEDAS from Sankhasur. This place is a place of pilgrimage for every Hindu.

To enSure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the Distr ict Oensus Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the and, Town Village Directory, which mostly comprised Non-census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their everwilling and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I \am also gtateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D. (now Commis sioner, Rohilkhand· Division, Bereilly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various admi4istrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-operation in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the rrinting of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent. Printing and Stationery, U. P. Allahabad for the printing of these volumes~ are thankfully acknowledged. Joint Superin tendent, sri J. S. Gupta, In·charge New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps.

SINHA Lucknow Director of Census Operations Dated: October 3, 1972 Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bripg out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the ropulation of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was; however, not brought out in 190 I, Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published o,nly for thirteen due to the outbreak of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not 'be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1341 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second "Vorld War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The Dis trict Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was published alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, attempts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in additibn to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and amenities were also collected. At the 197 I Census, efforts have been made to compile both (ensu~ and Non·census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the district Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smailer territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demarcation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has. been divided for 1::eing published separately into three parts : Part A Town and Village Directory. Part B Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract. Part C Analytical Report and Administrative Statem~nts- District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District CenSU!;i Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particul'ars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drink ing water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications have been given. Besides, it contains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archaeological intere~t in each village. The Town Directory comprising seven state ments throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and. Education facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of the town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Pal t B repre!'ents data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of occupied residential houses and households, total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and sc~eduled tribe, literate population, working popUlation by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and livestock etc., in mining a~d quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction in trade and commerce, in ~ transport and communications and in other services as well as the non-working population.
