This publication was compiled by the Census Department and published by the State Govern­ ment. The contents of the District Census Handbook ,b~ve been considerably improved during the subsequent Census and In 1971 this pUblication is Qeing brought out in three separate parts- Pa rt A-Village and Town Directory_ Part B-ViUage and Townwise Primary Census Abstract; and Part C-Analytical Report and Administrative Statements and District Census Tables The history and origin of the District Census Handbook have been given in the Introductory Note of this volume.

The details other than population particulars presented in these statements have been obtained from the concerned Departments of the State Government for which I am thankful to the Collector. I am also grateful to the Revenue subordinates as wen as the Municipal Commissioners for the assistance that they have rendered. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Sri A. Cbandra Sekhar, Registrar General, India, for the guidance given to me and for continuing the publication of the District Census Handbooks during 1971 Census also. K.

CHOCKALINGAM Director of Census Operations CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT VILLAGE AND TOWN DIRECTORY Introductory Note GerteTal: The District Census Handbook for each district presenting the Census data for the villages and' towns of tbe District is being published from 1951 Census. Till then, the village statistics showing merely the number of houses and, population by religion in respect of each village and town were published as supplement. In 1951, the general population tables. economic tables and village-wise and town-wise statistics relating to Taluks were presented as Part-I and Social and Cultural Tables as Part II. In 1961 also. the District Census Handbook was published in two volumes. In Volume I~ all the Census tables giving taluk-wise data with a narrative report were published and Volume Il was confined to present viilageowise and town-wise statistics known as Primary Census Abstract which gives the basic data like popUlation, Ii "erates, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and the industrial classification of workers and non-workers. As these data are finalised in the first shge of tabulation itself in 1971 Census, it has been decided in this Cemus to present the District Census Handbook in 3 Parts. Part-A contains the Village and Town Directory which will show the land use pattern data, basic amenities available in the viJIages and the conditions of the towns. Part-B contains the ViUage and Town P. C. A. while Part-C presents the administrative statistics conected and compiled from various departments, Census tables and a short analytic~l report. This method of preparing District Census Handoook in 3 parts is also to facilitate the timely publication of the basic data relating to villages and towns which are required by various departments and research scholars. Method of presentation: The present volume being Part-A presents the Village and Town DirectolY as the titles suggest. It lists out all the villages and towns in the State. The Village Directory IS presented at the taluk level and Town Directory at District level. The Village Directory is presented first fol1owed by the Town Directory. Village Directory: In the Village Directory, for each taluk, a statement showing the villages, their extent, the amenities like Educational, Medical, Drinking Water Supply Communications, Postal and Telegraphs, etc. available within each village and the land use pattern are given. In addition to this, particulars in regard to staple food, land use data and certain other miscellaneous information such as the existence of veterinary hospital, co-operative societies, banks etc. are also furnished. An alphabetical list of villages has also been prepared indicating the Location Code Number of the village for purpose of quick reference. Apart from these particulars, the land use particulars of places comprising of Nonoclty urban units (Non-municipal area) is given as Appendix I.
