This is the most val:lahle district :~v..:: pl.blicatilm (Fought nut hy t:1e Cen~u~ Org&nisation en behalf of each State GO'l,ernment/ lIr..:on T~rri:,)') admin:.,tr J.:ion.

ThIs pubiicatton haS thus proved to be of immense utility to the p.U.lner<;, a.dministrators. academIcians and researd:ers, fhe <;cope of the DCH waC; :nitially confined to certain important census tables on population, eCOn-3ffilC <ln~l ~~)Cio-cuimral a"rects as al\o the Pr:mmy Censu<; Abstract ,PCA) of each village and town (w,;,;·dv.i\c) nf th..- district. The Deli'> pUblJ"hed ..tft.:r t;le 1961 Ccnsu~ contained a descriptive account of the ,1l,,~riCl ad'1l:ni~,rati,e stclti~tic", .:-:n"(;S table,> and Village and Town Directorie5 including PCA. After t!1e : lI71 Cen"Ll". two parts of t:1C District c.::nsus Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories ,11:3 Palt-B comp::ising VIEagc .md To~n (PCA) 'A-ere released in all the States and Union Territories. The t 1.rd Part (e) of the District CenSuS Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district cenSus Lblc'), which was also to be brought out could not be published in many States/DTs due to considerable delay III compilation of rei evant material. In 1981, ~ome new featur.'> alongwith the restructuring of the f~lrr.:lats of Village amI Town Directory were introduced in thc Dells. These were published in two parts for eaC1 d,'ltdct after the 19~1 Cens~s. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the peA of viiI ages and towns (ward-wi<;e) ir.c!uding Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsi!jtown level were provided in Part-B. To illu.:>trate, all the amenities except electricity, were brougltt together in the Village Directory and if an J.menit)' was not aVUllab!e in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges from the ne,irest pldce llavmg such amenity waS given. Information on some new items such as adult lIteracy centres, pr'n1ury health sub-centre'3 and comm].mity health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requireme1ts of the Revised ~inimum ~eeds Programme. Similarly, information on approach 1O the village \'v'd'> also pfCIvidcd for the first time in the Vil!age Directory so as to give an idea about Lho! n:1mber of maccessible villages in each district. In case uf Town Directorie~ also, keeping in vi fW the rey'u:rement<; of the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statem~nt IV-A on '3lums was provided so as to enable t:1C pJJ.nne~ to chalk out the prugramme,> for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums,. In tl,j\ statement details on c:vic and other amenities \\-ere reported for the slums of class I and Class II towns. Apart frl)m this, one column on tne Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy clJ.sses/ccntre:-. were added in Statements IV and V respecti\'ely. The manner of prc!>entation of the DClls for the 1991 Census is by and large the Same as followed .n 19~1. rTn\\-cver, the forrnat of peA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of .lata :l~er~, ~i:J.e-foIJ lI1du.~trial .:1a;,siflcation of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial 0lasslf~cation presented in t1e 191{ Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age-group h.ts al'io b~ in.;hhleJ i:1 PC'\ for th~ fint tim: with a view to enabling data u,>ers to compute more realIstic literacy rate as all cnildren b~low 7 yeats of age haw b.:!en treated as illtnlte at the time of the 1991 Cen.,us. it IS expe.;tcd that t!J.~ a!J.:Jv ~ m~ntion:lJ m ):i!fH;ations will help the planners in chalking out mont effective developmental programmes.
