(ii) "Few people realize, much less appreciate, that apart from Survey of India and Geological Survey, the Census of India has been perhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian sub-continent" - this is an observation made by Dr. Ashok Mitra, an illustrious Census Commissioner of India in 1961 . The statement sums up the contribution of Census Organisation which has been working in the field of mapping in the country. The Census Commissionarate of India has been working in the field of cartography and mapping since 1872. A major shift was witnessed during Census 1961 when the office had got " . a permanent footing. For the first time, the census maps were published in the form of 'Census Atlases' in the decade of 1961-71. Alongwith the national volume, the atlases of states and union territories were also published. With "..the passage of time and in each subsequent census, a number of other products such as DCHB, Tow,(l DireC!ory, migration maps, regional division maps and others were added, During the Census 2001 , GIS technology was introduced in Census Commissionarate and Census Directorates which has given a real boost in the field of mapping. Besides the regular publications, a number of new map products such as (i) India Administrative Atlas 1872-2001 - A Historical Perspective, (ii) Language Atlas of India, (iii) Housing Atlas of India, (iv) Scheduled Tribe Atlas of India and (v) Map Profile 2001 India, States and Union territories have been published. Some of the other products are in the pipeline. Administrative Atlas, 2001 of all the States and Union territories has been undertaken for preparation, looking to the demand of DCHB maps among the data users. In this publication, maps of the state, district and sub-district levels have been put together. For convenience of the data users, the publication has been made ready in two parts: Part-I is in regard to the maps showing the evolution of States/Union territories during the period 1872-2001 at decadal level. These maps exhibit the evolution of administrative boundaries in the respective State/Union territory through the entire time period. A brief analytical note has been added to explain the jurisdictional changes to each map. Besides, there are a few thematic maps at state level showing different themes. Few selected key population statistics at States/Union territories level have also been included. Part-II is more current. The first map highlights the changes observed in the administrative boundaries during 1991-2001. This is followed by district and sub-district maps of the respective States/Union territories showing amenities and location code number in the sub-districts adopted during Census 2001 at village level. To read the location code numbers, the names of villages alongwith code numbers are given on the page facing each plate. The gigantic task of the completion of this project was entrusted to Map Division of Census Commissionarate and respective Directorates under the supervision of Dr. R.P , Singh, Ex-Deputy Registrar General (Map) and, now, Consultant (Map). Kum. Sarita, Research Officer (Map) has (iii) supervised this project. The names of others associated with the publication is given to the respective publication. The states and union territories where the Computer Assisted Cartography was not provided, the district, sub-district and thematic maps have been prepared and data compiled at the Map Division of Census Commissionarate. My sincere thanks to all the officers and officials who have contributed and made it possible to bring out this publication. I hope that this will serve the needs of administrators, planners and scholars alike and fill up the gap of basic maps. D.K. Sikri New Delhi Registrar General and 7 th September, 2005 Census Commissioner, India (iv) Nagaland state came to existence on 15t December 1963. After creation of full-fledged state this is the first effort to produce an Administrative Atlas for this state. The present volume provides comprehensive jurisdictional maps in respect of all the administrative units of the Nagaland as existed during Census 2001 . In 2001 Census there were eight districts, 93 rural and one urban circles. The present volume also includes the maps showing administrative divisions and their analytical notes for the Census years 1971, 1981 , 1991 and 2001 . The administrative maps pertaining to Census year prior to 1971 could not be presented in this volume due to non availability of proper maps and relevant notification, information etc. In order to make the present volume compatible to that of Census 2001, a total of 10 thematic maps showing different aspects of demography have also been included. Except the map of Decadal Growth of Population 1991-2001 and Density of Population, which is drawn at district level, the remaining maps are prepared at circle level. The map showing density of population could not be prepared at circle level because the area figures down the district level are not published by the state Government. In addition to the map showing administrative divisions of different Census decades and maps on different themes, the maps at district and sub-district (circle) level showing changes in administrative boundaries 1991-2001 , circle boundaries, name of the district/circle headquarter's with amenities are also included in this volume. The circle maps, though do not show the revenue village boundaries but their location along with Permanent Location Code Number (PLCN) have been depicted.
