MfJ(N)5DCO(HP) 2(&) FOREWORD One of the special features of 1971 Census is a compilation of directory of all the towns of India. n includes seven statements giving the status, growth history lind funetion:d m,tegory of towns, physical tlHpccts and location; municipal finanre; civic and other amcnitic\ medical, edllcI1tion::tl, recrea tional and cultural facilities; trade, commerce, industry and banking, popuJ>ltion by religion and scheduled castes and scheduled trihe.~. The Primary Census Abstract of each town will also be presented in this directory. The rationale for providing wide range of other information along with the primary census d:lta of each town derives from the fact that the demogmphic data of t.he census nre on the one hand the products of the inter-play of a numher of economic, cultural and socin 1factors; on tile other lw,nd, the demographic situation in its totality influences the economic, ROciitl and cultural developments of villages, towns and areas of higher order. It is this dynnmic illter-relatiomhip ,,\,],ich is intended to he highlighted, by bringing together census and non-CCllSUS St11tdics a.nd olher d· '. tL • in the town dirp,ctory. Along with the qualitlttivc ami qutlntitn,tivc datn, suitable maps have also been included in the directory. One map proposes to bring out the spatial rebtions of the towns of rlifferent size-groups anrl functional categories. Another one intends to bring out in visual focus, the spatial pattern of distribution of functional areas inside the tOlVllS of different size groups anrl functional categories. In the nOlltuxt of thp"~e two SAts of visual presentation, one importnnt demogr"phic nharaeter of the town, tne gradience of the distribution of the population in different densities, is proposed to be brought out in a third map. It is hoped that the town directory will stimulate comiderable researClllll the var on', as,oc:ated disciplines in the country. The planning of the project has been done in the Social Studies Division in the ()iliee o! tile j{eglst rar General, India, under the guidance afmy colleague Dr. 13. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Rogistrar General (Social Studies). The data hnve been compilud in the offices of the Directors of Census Operations. In the nOlllpilation of the data a large number of sources had to be taperl. I avail of this opportlU!ity to thank all my colleagues nssociated with the project, and also the various official and non official agencies '.yithout whose cooperation it would uot have been possible to collect the manifold data for all the tOWllS , of the (,ountry.
