PRINTED IN INDIA BY THE SuPERINTENDENT. PRINTING AND STATIONERY, U. P. LUCKNOW 1963
PREFACE IT is customary for the Census Superintendent to write administrative reports on the occasion of every Census. The idea behind writing such reports is not only to acquaint the succeeding Superintendent with the arrangements made for the Census operations, but also to record his suggestions for the consideration of the Registrar General (Census Commissioner) and his own successor at the next Census. 'i\ ' .t I beli~ that an apology is needed for presenting a rather lengthy report. The previous reports have all been, brief,,,presuming that the officer appointed to conduct the next Census would be familiar witA~verything that was required to be done and would need merely a few suggestions to effect improvement here and there. The actual position, however, is just the opposite. The officer appointed for conducting the operations usually knows nothing about the work and he has to set up the 'entire machinery including his office from the very start. Unless he is fortunate to get one or two persons on his staff who had worked with his predecessor, his staff is as ignorant about the Census as he himself. When I joined as Superintendent of Census Operations in 1959, I knew little about the administrative arrangements involved and I feverishly read up the administrative reports of the previous Censuses but could not understand the implications of many of the things recorded therein. It was only after I had passed through the grind that I could understand their full import. I, therefore, feel that the Census Superintendent should record a detailed report explaining every arrangement at length so that his successor may have a fairly good idea of the task ahead and may avoid the pitfalls which surround the unwary. With the above end in view, I have contrived to give a comprehensive account 0f the various administrative details connected with Enumeration, the difficulties experienced at differ ent stages of the Operations and the manner in which they were overcome. The report also contains my suggestions, for whatever they are worth, for effective improvements at the next Census. Besides, I have given in the Appendices all forms devised centrally or locally which were used in Enumera tion. and have reproduced all important letters and circulars issued by the Government of India, the Registrar General, the State Government or by me. It has been my endeavour to present my successor a clear picture of the operations involved, and if it is at all helpful to him in his difficult task, I shall consider my labour amply rewarded. This report differs from its predecessors in one other matter also. The practice so far has been to deal with Enumeration and Tabulation together. The Registrar General considered it advantageous that the two phases should be dealt with separately. First, the two operations are conducted at different periods with sufficient gap between them. During Enumeration one has not to bother about the problems of Tabulation except to find suitable accommodation for housing the Tabulation Offices and to get Sorter's Tickets printed in advance. It is, therefore, convenient for all concerned to consult the two reports separately. Secondly, the complexion of the two opera tions is not only different, but the operations are conducted by entirel~ different machinery. The district administration is vitally concerned with Enumeration and the report on Enumeration is of interest to District Officers, which the report on Tabulation is not, as they have little to do with it. Thirdly, it is possible to write the report on Enumeration immediately after its completion, when the details are still fresh in memory. Many aspects of Enumeration fade out from memory by the time Tabulation is over, and if one waits to write a report on both the operations together, important details about Enumeration are likely to be lost sight of. For these reasons the report on Enumeration is being brought out now. The report on Tabulation will follow. Though the expenditure on the Census is borne by the Centre yet the entire machinery for Enumeration is furnished by the State at no cost basis, a contribution which cannot be too well acknowledged. I am very much thankful to the Government of Uttar Pradesh for their extremely helpful attitude throughout the Census Operations, to Sri Govind Narain and Sri L. C. Jain, Chief Secretaries whom I repeatedly bothered~ to all Secretaries to Government and all Heads of Depart ments who gave me the utmost co-operation in the fulfilment of my task. I am very grateful to the Defence, Cantonment and Railway authorities for their fullest co-operation. I profusely thank all District Officers, Mukhya Nagar Adhikaris, Presidents of Municipal Boards and other local bodies, and Presidents of Antarim ZiJa Parishads to whom I am beholden for their utmost col1abora tion. Above all, I thank the vast multitude of Census workers numbering about 1,20,000 ii from the District Census Officer down to the humblest Enumerator, for their silent and patient labours. Most of them were drawn from the 10wCfr ranks of government servants, local bodies' employees and school teachers who carried ,out Census duties in addition to their normal work, quite often at great personal inconvenience. I am profoundly grateful to all of my learned predecessors on whom I have unashamedly drawn for the material of the report. Lastly, I must express my obligation to Shri A. Mitra, Registrar General for the valuable help and 8l1idance he gave me at all times and for his constant encouragement without which it would have been well nigh impossible to shoulder the heavy burden of the Census Operations of the most populous State of India.

F. 21(1)/59/D (Co-ord), dated the 3rd December. 1959, on the subject noted above, the undersigned is directed to say that some of the General Officers Commanding, Headquarters, have refused to furnish a complete list of Military Establish ments in their areas to the Census Authorities. In this connexion, it may be pointed out that the first principle in all Census-taking is that separate administrative units should be completely identi fiable and distinct throughout enumeration. No Census unit should, therefore, be partly in a Cantonment and partly in a civil area. Strictly military areas should be kept distinct and dis tinguishable in the enumeration books. Further, in strictly military areas, military and civil population should be kept distinct. In this connexion an abstract from instructions issued by the Registrar General to the Superintendents of Census Operations in connexion with 1951 Census is attached herewith. 2. In view of above, and in order to ensure that the geographical coverage of the Census is cent per cent complete it is necessary to give complete list of military Establishments to the Census Superintendents posted in different parts of the country. Similar information was furnished to the Census authorities during the Census, 1951, with the request that whateverinform ation regarding services personnel was collected, should be treated as Secret information by the Census Organization. Such information should, on no account, be published separately but should be lumped together with the similar information obtained from the civil organizations of the Union Government of the same area. 3. It is requested that suitable instructions should be issued by the Services Headquarters to Lower Formations immediately. (Sd.) (R. M. CHAKRAVARTY), Under Secretary. Tel. : 34944.

No. F.21(1)/59/D(Co-ord) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINSTRY OF DEFENCE New Delhi, the 8th August, 1960. OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject: Census of India, 1961-Defence Services SERVICE Headquarters are already aware that the next Census of India is to be held in Feb ruary/March, 1961. Instructions of a general character have already been issued about the co operation to be extended by local services formations to the Census Superintendents in the States. The question of issuing further instructions regarding the action to be taken in places where the Census enllmeration has to be carried out by Services personnel, has been engaging the attention of Govprnment. After giving careful consideration to the steps required to safeguard the security of military information and after holding necessary consultation with the Registrar General, India, the following instructions are issued for strict application. The instructions are in two parts. Part I covers the arrangements to be made in all military areas (of the three services) other than operational areas. Part II deals with the arrangements to be made in operational area5. PART I-Action in Military Areas other than Operational Areas (1) Officers Commanding Stations will, in the three Services, function as military Census Officers for the purpose of the Census. (The term Military Census Officer will have application not only in the Army, but to Census Officers in the other two Services as well.) Where an O. C. Station is unable to devote constant attention to the Census Operations, he may designate another officer from the Station as the Military Census Officer, but he will continue to maintain executive control over the Census Operations in his Station. (2) Headquarters Commands will furnish to Census Superintendents of the States a complete list of all the Station Commanders in the different States who are designated as Military Census Officers. A copy of the list will also be sent to the Service Headquarters concerned. The following particulars will be furnished for each Military Census Officer : (a) Rank. (b) Name. (c) Appointment. (d) Office address. (e) Residential address. (J) Office Telephone No. (g) Residential Telephone No. Amendments to the list will be forwarded as and when they occur. (3) The Military Census Officers will immediately contact and maintain close liaison with the Civil Census Superintendents in their respective States. A list of the Census Superintendents is given in Appendix to this O. M. 181 (4) State Census Superintendents will not be given lists of military formations, units, etc. or their location, but the areas covered by the Military Census Officers, should be clearly made known to the Census Superintendents, Commands will ensure that every formation! Unit establish ment under them where people are in residence is covered by the Census Operations, either through Military Census Officers or through the Civil agency in liaison with the State Census Superintendent concerned. (5) Military Census Officers will be responsible for the enumeration of all persons residing within the strictly military areas (viz. areas controlled and managed by service personnel such as barracks, unit lines, etc.). (Please note that in operational areas arrangements for enumeration are different, vide Part II.) These strictly Military areas should be determined in consultation with the local authorities who are responsible for Civil Census arrangements, so that respective Census limits are clearly known to both Civil and Military agencies. They will obtain necessary enumeration slips and instructions from the Census Superintendents of the State concerned. All enumeration slips after completion will be handed over to the Census Superintendents. In ques tion 11 of the enumeration slip, the entry for Service personnel will be "Central Government Employee" . (6) Each Military Census Officer will nominate the required number of Charge Officers, Supervisors and Enumerators for his Station. Census enumeration is not a mere nose-count but will require a variety of demographic, social and cultural information and so enumerators and supervisors would have to have a course of instruction. The Superintendents of Census Operations of the States are organizing courses of instruction for civilian personnel. Military Census Officers should so arrange that all persons engaged in enumeration either in a supervisory or in an enumerat ing capacity receive the full course of instructions. PART II-Arrangements in operational areas 1. There will be no counting at all of combatants in operational areas. The Census in respect of combata.nts in operational areas will be carried out by the Chief Statistical Officer from informa tion available in his office. Certain supplementray demographic data required for the Census, which is not available with the Chief Statistical Officer, will be obtained by him from the O. C. of Stations in operational areas. These details mostly concern information regarding the home towns and villages of combatant personnel without which the demographic details concerning the combatant personnel will not be complete. 2. Military Census Officers will be appointed in Operational areas to enumerate persons other than combatants personnel. Os. C. Stations may utilize their services in collecting the further information desired by the Chief Statistical Officer. Primarily, however, these military Census officers will enumerate the other categories, which are- (i) civil population in areas not covered by the civil CetlSUS arrangements; and (ii) personnel of other combatant and non-combatant formations under the Army's operational command present in the operational areas, such as Assam Rifles, J. & . K. Militia, etc. 3. The instructions relating to the nomination of Military Census Officers, formation of Census units, and nomination of Charge Officers, Supervisors, etc. will apply to stations in opera tional areas, exactly as for non-operational areas (Part I). 4. Enumeration of all persons other than combatants of the Army, Navy and Air Force, will be carried out in operational areas exactly in the same way as in non-operational areas, namely in accordance with the arrangements specified in Part 1. The enumeration slips in respect of these persons will be handed over to the Census Superintendents concerned. It is requested that these instructions should be conveyed by the Service Headquarters to Lower Formations immediately under intimation to this Ministry. (Sd.) M. A. S.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF DEFENCE New Delhi, the 5th September, 1960 OFFICE M.lLMORANDUM Subject : Cens~s of India, 1961-Defence Services The following general instructions relating to the Census are issued for the guidance and necessary action : (1) Basically all Service personnel are the same as anyone else, viz. citizens; and the procedure for their enumeration will likewise be the same as for the rest of the population. The only exception is in the case of combatant Service personnel in operational areas, vide Part II of Ministry of Defence Office Memorandum no. F. 2I(l)/59jD (Co-ord.), dated the 8th August, 1960. Their houses, messes, barracks are censused as part of the appropriate village/town/ward, etc. in the most convenient manner. The word "convenient" here is important. Where Service personnel are residing in their new unit lines or barracks or in an exclusive perimeter of their town, they should be enumerated by service authorities. Members of Service personnel who live outside the perimeter \'\ ill be censused by the Civil Census authorities. (Incidentally members of the Armed Forces should answer all the questions the enumerators put them from the Houselist, Household Schedule or the enumeration slip subject, of course, to mentioning of "Central Government employee" in reply to Question no. 11 of the individual slip.) (2) It is a first principle in all Census taking that separate administrative units should be completely identifiable and distinct throughout enumeration. This implies the drawing up of Census units in such a form as to secure this end throughout. No Census unit should, therefore, be partly in a military-area and partly in a civil area. Even within a strictly military area, i.e. an area controlled and managed by Service personnel, it is necessary to make separate units as far as possible for portions meant for the resi dence of Service personnel alone and portions where Service personnel reside jointly with civilians (e.g. with their families). In portions where Service personnel reside jointly with the civilians, the Household Schedule should also be prepared in addition to the individual slips. Slips of the Indian Navy should mutatis mutandis be brought within the compass of the above instructions. Each ship at sea should be considered as a separate Census Unit. Wherever possible, enumeration of the ship's personnel should be brought within the enumeration of their home port. (3) "Each Census unit should be assigned a Charge Officer who will be a superior officer, and an intermediate officer who will be a supervi"or and finally, in-charge of the local officer who will be the Enumerator. It is important to maintain the hierar~hy as far as possible in order to ensure adequacy of instructions and timely distribution of forms. Such hierarchies will also help to fix responsibility at each stage between the superior officer and the supervising officer. Whenever in doubt over any procedure or minute 183 of instructions the advice of the State Census Superintendent who is responsible for the arrangements for the Census fo~ t~e entire. St~te ~r the District Cen~us Officer who is responsible for arrangements withm the DIstnct 10 all matters relatmg to the Census including training, etc., should be freely sought." (4) It is important to ensure that the geographical coverage of the Census is cent per cent complete and that even within each Census unit the count is complete. 2. It is requested that these instructions should be conveyed by the Services Headquarters to lower formations immediately under intimation to this Ministry. (Sd.) M. A. S.

These strictly military areas should be determined in consulta tion with the local authorities who are responsible for civil Census arrangements, so that respective Census limits are clearly known to both civil and military agencies. The Military Census Officers will obtain necessary enumeration slip and instructions from the Census Superintendents of the State concerned. All enumeration slips after completion will be handed over to the Census Superintendents. In question 11 of the enumeration slip, the entry for army personnel will be "Central Government Employee". 1. Each Military Census Officer will nominate the required number of Charge Officers, Supervisors and Enumerators for his Station. The Superintendents of Census Operations of the States are organising courses of instruction in Census Operations. Military Census Officers should arrange that all persons engaged in enumeration either in a supervisory or in an enumerating capacity receive the full course of instructions. 8. Enumeration of Air Force and Navy personnel, if any, attached to Army Units and residing within military formations/units/establishments will be the responsibility of the Military Census Officer. 9. Enumeration of military personnel not actually present with the units/establishments, i.e. away on leave or duty will not be the responsibility of the Military Census Officer. 10. Enumeration of military personnel and civilians residing in Army messes hostels not attached to units/formations (e.g. V.R. Mess, New Delhi), will be the responsibility of Civil Census Superintendents. 11. Enumeration of military personnel residing outside military areas will be the responsibility of the Civil Census Superintendents. Arraagements in Operational Areas 12. Instructions relating to the nomination of Military Census Officers, Charge Officers and Supervisors, will apply to stations in operational areas in the same way as for non-operational areas. 13. Enumeration of all persons (residing within the military areas) other than combatants will be carried out by Military Census Officers in operational areas in the same way as in non operational areas. The persons to be enumerated will include- (a) civilians (e.g. Dhobi and Canteen employees), (b) civilians on the pay rolls of the Army. (c) non-combatant (enrolled). The enumeration slips in respect of these persons will be handed over after completion to the Census Superintendents concerned. 14. The Military Census Officer will also be responsible for enumeration of personnel of units and formations like Police Battalions, Assam Rifles, J. and K. Militia which are under the operational command of the Army. In respect of these personnel the responsibility of the Military Census Officers in the operational areas will be the same as for non-operational areas under paras 2-11 above. 15. Enumeration of combatants in operational areas will not be done by the Military or Civil Census Officers on the spot. Further instructions regarding the Census of such personnel will be issued later. Sanction for Tours 16. A certain amount of touring by officers may be necessary in connexion with the execution of their duties for the Census. The Government has accorded sanction to the moves of Service personnel in order to contact the respective officials of the Civil Census Agency for instructions and guidance in connexion with the Census. The moves will be treated as on duty and T. A./D.A. would be admissible under normal rules, vide Government of India, Ministry of Defence letter no.

Subject: Census, 1961 Reference-Tn continuation of this office letters no. 237/A/A, dated the 30th October, 1959 , and the 26th December, i959 The contents of a communication received from Ministry of Defence on the above subject are reproduced below for your information and guidance : "In continuation of this Ministry's O. M. no. F. 21(1)/59/D (Co-or d), dated the 3rd December, 1959, on the subject noted above, the undersigned is directed to say that some of the General Officers Commanding, Headquarters, have refused to furnish a complete list of Military Establishments in their areas to the Census Authorities. In this connexion, it may be pointed out that the first principle in all Census-taking is that separate adminis trative units should be completely identifiable and distinct throughout enumeration. No Census unit should, therefore, be partly in a cantonment an d partly in a civil area. Strictly military areas should be kept distinct and distinguishable in the enumeration books. Farther in strictly military areas, military and civil population should be kept distinct. In this connexion an abstract from instructions issued by the Registrar General to the Superintendents of Census Operations in connexion with 1951 Census is attached herewith. 2. In view of above, and in order to ensure that the geographical coverage of the Census is cent per cent complete it is necessary to give complete list of Military Establishments to the Census Superintendents posted in different parts of the country. Similar information was fur nished to the Census Authorities during the Census 1951 with the request that whatever informa tion regarding Services personnel was collected should be treated as Secret information by the Census Organization. Such information should, on no account, be published separately but should be lumped together with the similar information obtaintd from the civil organizations of the Union Govornment of the same area."

No. 1069-A/lII8M/1960, dated May 6, 1960 FROM No. l069-A/III-8M/1960 SRI GOVIND NARAIN, I.C.S., MUKHYA SAcmv TO GOVERNMENT, UITAR PRADESH, To ALL HEADs OF DEPARTMENTS AND PRINCIPAL HEADS OF OFFICES IN UITAR PRADESH. Dated Lucknow, May 6, 1960. Subject: Census of India 1961-Employment of State GonnuneDt senants for eDumeradoD SIR, I am directed to state that the next decennial Census of India will be taken during February March 1961, the time and date of reference being the sunrise on March 1,1961. The enumeration will. as in the past, be done mostly by the fullest use of all establishments under the control of Government and local bodies on a voluntary basis. 196 2. Actual enumeration will take place between February 10 to 2R, 1961 followed by a revt- 51\)nal round of three days during the first three days of March. Before actual enumeration starts, much preliminary work has to be done in the shape of delimitation of Census divisions, appoint ment of staff, housenumbering and houselisting which will keep the field staff variously engaged from the middle of August, 1960 to the beginning of March 1961. In the rural areas, the more active period will be from October 16 to November 26, 1960, and from February 10 to March 7, 1961, while in the urban areas, it will start earlier possibly from September or even from August depending on the size of the city. But for the first week of March 1961, the field staff will not be so busy with Census work as to leave them no time for normal duties, particularly the more urgent duties. 3. The staff in the field, besides Charge Officers, will consist of about 1,20,000 enumerators and 10,000 supervisors. Such a large number of workers cannot be recruited from any particular department and it is, therefore, necessary that the burden should be fully shared by all public depart ments. Accordingly, it is proposed to pool the staff of various departments for this purpose in the manner indicated below : (a) Tahsil Charges-(i) Lekhpals, Panchayat secretaries and teachers of primary and junior high schools run by Government or Antarim Zila Parishads will act as enumera tors. It is hoped that the staff of the above categories will be available in suffident number to cope with the work, except in the hills where the rural staff of other depart ments will also be pooled for this purpose. (ii) There would be difficulty in finding adequate number of supervisors. In Deve lopment Blocks, however, the work could be taken up by village level workers. In other areas non-gazetted staff of various departments of Government and senior school teachers could be pooled. (iii) In Notified and Town Areas Census duties will be performed by their staff, but where the strength of the staff falls short of requirements it will be supplemented by the pooled staff of departments of Government. (b) Corporations, MuniCipalities and such Notified and Town Areas as have a popul lation exceeding 10,000-Census duties will be performed by the staff of these bodies supple mented, where necessary, by the pooled staff of various departments of Government. (c) Special Charges-The appointment of supervisors and enumerators will be confined, as far as possible, to the staff Qfthe departments concerned as indicated below: (i) In Forest areas outside revenue mauzas, Census duties will be performed as usual by forest rangers, forest guards, etc. (ii) In Defence Establishments and Cantonments the Military staff and the staff of Cantonment Boards will perfoI'lIl these duties. (Necessary instructions have already been issued by the Ministry of Defence in this regard.) (iii) In sizeable Railway Establishments and Colonies the work will be done by the Railway staff. (Necessary instructions have already been issued by the Railway Board about this.) - (iv) In case of other sizeable institutions supervisors and enumerators will usually be from amongst their staff. 4. All employees of the State Government (wherever they may be located) should accept and perform readily any work connected with the enumeration which is placed on them by authorized local Census Officers. The employees are expected to work to the best of their ability and Govern ment have no reason to suppose that there will be any grounds of complaint from any quarter whatever. Their performance in Census duties shall be taken into account in the periodical assess ment of their work and conduct. Particularly good work done shall immediately be brought to the notice of their immediate superior officers in order that it may be formally recognised and made part of their confidential rolls. 5. Enumeration work is spread over nearly three weeks in order to diminish the number of workers for whom demand would be placed on Heads of Departments and offices and also in order to enable tne .workers to carry out their duties conveniently. It is necessary that Heads of Departments and offices should co-operate in lightening the burden of Census workers to the 197 maximum. extent possible. This will necessitate the grant of concessions regarding office atten dance. both during the enumeration period and a period of training which will precede it. The details of concessions likely to be required can be settled locally. 6. r am to request that necessary instructions in the matter may kindly be issued to all establishments under your control.

O. no. 1069-A/III-8-M-196O, dated May 6, TRAnON 1960, on the above subject, and to say that in para. 3(a) (i) of it, it was stated as follows : DSPAl\T MIINT. "3. (a) Tahsil Charges-(i) Lt"khpals, Pancnayat Secretaries and teachers of primary and Junior high schools run by Government or Antarim Zita Parishads will act as enu merators. It is hoped that the staff of the above categories will be available in sufficient numbers to cope with the work, except in the hills where the rural staff of other depart ments will also be pooled for this purpose." 2. This provision has, in some quarters, been erroneously interpreted to mean that in the plains only the categories of officials specified above will act as enumerators. I am to explain that· though in most of the places this staff will prove adequate, it may fall short of requirements at others. At the latter places, whether in the hills or in the plains, the staff of other departments of Government will be pooled to make up the deficiencies. Yours faithfully, GOVIND NARAIN, Mukhya Sachiv.

O. no. 9928JIB-633-B-1959, dated October 28, 1959, on the RAlASVA subject of Winter Touring during 1959-60 and to say that as the next decennial Census will be taken (KHA) in February-March, 1961, the touring officers will_also have to perform duties entrusted to them VIIIHAO. in connection with the Census operations. The work which is normally done by the officers on tour except inspections of police stations by Sub-Divisional Magistrates should, therefore, be reduced by I J3rd this year. If, however, some Sub-Divisional Magistrate finds it entirely impossible to com plete inspection of all Police Stations in his circle, you entrust inspection of such Police Station to some other Magistrate not being a Magistrate of III Class under paragraph 9 of Police Regulations. The period of touring during the cold weather of 1960-61 will be as under: (a) District Magistrates in general will remain on tour for sixty days in accordance with Appointment (A) Department G. O. no. A-141OJII-A-1960, dated August 10, 1960 but in districts where Additional District Magistrates (Executive) are posted they should equally share touring with District Magistrates, i.e. 30 days each, so that the former may also be acquainted with the revenue administration and may not face any difficulty when they were given charge ofa district. (b) Sub-Divisional Officers will tour for six weeks to two months in accordance with G. O. no. 9273/IB-173-B-1954, dated November 21, 1955. The Sub-Divisional Officers who may be appointed District Census Officers will be required to spend a good number of days during winter on tour but it will not be possible for them "to do long halts as in the case of other Sub-Divisional Officers. They have, therefore. been exempted from the normal camp touring required in the case of other Officers on the revenue side. The District Magistrates will please make alternative arrangement for normal partal, etc. of their sub-division. (c) Tahsildars and Naib-Tahsildars will tour for 45 to 60 days as provided in paragraph 252-C of Manual of Government Orders. 2. The District Officers may fix within the above limits the period of touring to be done by the Sub-Divisional Officers, Tahsildars and Naib-Tahsildars but Sub-Divisional Officers incharge of more than one sub-division will tour for the maximum period of two months. Officers should so arrange their tour programmes that they are able to look into the work relating to all branches of revenue administration. x x x x x x Yours faithfully, O. N.

Subject: Winter Tours of Revenue Officers in 1960-61 SIR, In continuation of G. O. no. B.4636/IB-S18-B-1960, dated November 11, 1960, on the llA1AJ'YA above subject, I am directed to say that on account of the Census work which is also to be done (KBA) during the current winter season Government have already reduced the normal inspectional work of VIQAO. the touring officers to two-third. As the burden of Census work will fall heavy on Tahsildars and Naib-Tahsildars, it is possible that they may not be able to tour for the prescribed number of days. It has, therefore, been decided that the period spent on tour by these officers in connection with the Census work will be treated as part of the winter touring subject to the condition that the two-third work prescribed in Government Order referred to above is completed during the winter season. Instructions regarding night-halts may also not be adhered to strictly but it may please be ensured that unnecessary return to headquarter by the officers is avoided. Yours faithfully, O. N.

P., SECTION 4, LUCK-NOW, To ALL ZILADHISHES IN UTTAR PRADESH. Dated May 14, 1960. SIR, I am directed to say that, in view of the Census Operations in 1960-61, the Parishad have been pleased to sanction a reduction in the percentage of each of the kharif and rabi partals to be done by Supervisor Kanungos, as prescribed in para. 423 of the Land Records Manual, from 7 to 4. Th.e p3rcentage of test of uncultivated land prescribed in the same para. has also been reduced from 7 to 4. Lekhpals will be expected to carryon the census work in addition to their normal duties. I would, however, request you to see that the rabi partal is carried out and finished by January 31, 1961. This is somewhat earlier than what is provided in paras. 55 and A. 55 of the Land Records Manual, but it will facilitate both the land records and the Census work if the rabi partal is finished in good time. 2. Lekhpals, at present, have to spend considerable time in attending the courts in one capacity or the other. I am, therefore, to request that strict orders should be issued to the courts subordinate to you (a) to refrain from summoning LekhapI too frequently, and (b) to see that they are examined the same day that they appear in court, and in no case detained for more than one day. It should be possible to fix on one date a number of cases relating to a lekhpaPs circle in which his evidence is required. The Presiding Officer should, therefore, fix his own cause list so that a lekhpal is not summoned several times to enable him to cope with the additional work which will be th.rown on him on account of the Census Operations. 3. I am to add that Sub-divisional Officers, Tahsildars and Naib-Tahsildars will not have to explain in case their partal work falls short of the usual standard as a result of additional work to be done by them on account of the Census Operations. 205 4. These instructions will apply only to the Lan d Records Staff not engage d in Consolidation of Holdings Operations.

By order, L. P. SINGH. Anu Sachiv. Appendix to G. O. no. 2262-XV, dated July 20, 1960 containing DIRECTIONS FOR AVOIDING CLASH BETWEEN TEACHING WORK AND CENSUS WORK I-For the period from August 16 to October 15, 1960. Urban Two or three days' training will be imparted in the month of August to the Ho u sen umber ing staff followed by actual work of Housenumbering in September and October. In most places Junior High School and Primary School Teachers are not likely to be needed for this work but where their services are required, they can easily attend the training classes after the morning school hours. The teacher who is required for training can be relieved at 10 a.m. If all the teachers of a school are calle d for training on a particular day(s) then that school can be at 10 a.m. on that day(s). Actual House numbering work can easily be done before or after the school hours. If during this operation the schools are having morning classes, then the teachers concerned can be given one period offin the morning. No relief is needed in the afternoon as they will have the whole afternoon and evening up to sunset at their disposaJ which they may devote to Census work. If the schools are having day classes then they can-be relieved for the first and the last period so that they mllY devote part of the morning and part of the evening to Census work. For the period from October 16 to October 3), 1960 During this period training will be given in Housenumbering for two days. The Junior mah School or Primary School Teacher who is called for training will be treated to be on duty. In case of schools having two or more teachers, Census Charge Officers:will ~y to :fix their training on different days. In the case of one-teacher schools and in other cases Where all the tcachers of a school are called for training, two days' holiday may be observed. 207 For the period from September 1 to October 31, 1960 Rural During this period a training of three days will be given in Housenumbering and House listing at convenient village.centres. The Junior High School or Primary School Teacher who is called for training will be treated as on duty. It will not be possible to fix training of several teachers of a school on different days. Hence in the case of one-teacher schools and in those cases where aU the teachers of a school are called for training simultaneously, there will be a three day's holi day. During the second fortnight of October (in most cases after the Divali) actual work in Housenumbering will be taken in hand. The teachers concerned can be relieved either for the first half or the second half of the working day to enable them to do this work in the village(s) allotted to them. It will not be necessary to close down the rural schools for any day for this item of work. Both Urban and Rural From November 1, 1960 onwards the Census programme for both urban and rural areas is identical. For the period from. November 1 to November 25, 1960 The period from November 1 to 21 will be devoted to Houselisting and the next four days to the preparation of abstracts and submission of records. In the urban areas the teachers who are put on this work can be relieved for one or two periods in the morning and one or two periods in the evening to devote themselves to Census work. In the rural areas they can be relieved either for the first half or the second half of the working day. It will not be necessary to close down the schools for this item of work. For the period from December 1, 1960 to January 31, 1961 A training of three days will be given in December and another training of similar duration will be given in January. In the rural areas this training will be imparted at convenient village centres. The Junior High School or Primary School Teachers called for training will be treated as on duty. In the case or urban schools having two or more teachers, Census Charge Office{s will try to fix their training on different days but this is not possible for rural schools. One-teacher schools and those schools all teachers of which are called for training simultaneously will observe the days sp~nt on such training as holidays. Between the two trainings practical work in the form of a training sample census of 10 household wiJI be done. As this does not require any appreciable time, no concession on this behalf is necessary. For the period from February 10 to March 8, 1961 Actual enumeration work will be done from February 10 to 28, 1961 everywhere in the country. In the urban areas the teachers entrusted with this work can be relieved for one or two periods in the morning and one or two periods in the evening and in the rural areas for half day either in the morning or in the evening. It will not be necessary to take away the teacher from his normal work for whole day except where in spite of curtailment of normal'work Census work remains incomplete but this should be rare. From March 1 to 5, 1961 there will be a revisionary round. The Holi festival falls during this period and will upset Census work to some extent. For this reason the original period of three days for the revisionary round has been extended to five days. RelieJfrom normal work on the working days during this period will be given to the same extent as during the period of enumera- tion. . From March 6 to 8, 1961 these will be totalling of figures and submission of Census records. If totals are struck daily not much time will be needed for final totals and this work can be easily done in addition to normal duties. Where really necessary some relief in the morning and evening may be given. These teachers who work as Supervisors (there will not be too many cases of this type) wiU, however, have to perform more strenuous duties during this period. They will make final scrutiny of the Census records and will take them to the Charge Officer. In urban areas such teachers can be given relief to the extent necessary in the circumstances but in rural areas they will have to be given complete relief during this period. No important item of educational programme should be fixed during the busy periods from October 16, 1960 to November 25, 1960 and from February 10 to March 7, 1961. iW8 (8) Copy of Nagarpalika (Ka) Vibhag G.

Dated Lucknow, December 11, 1959. Subject: Ward Maps for Census 1961 SIR, In modification of G. O. no. 2846-G/XI-A-1178-1959, dated August 8, 1959, on the above N,1$AGA subject, I am dire .. tf,d to say that from the reports so far received by the State Government it appears Lin ) that the local bodies are experiencing great difficulties in preparing ward maps as laid down in the V • above Government 0_ der. Government have therefore decided that the preparation of notional maps for each ward showing details of individual houses may be given up, and instead notional maps approximately on the scale of 8"=1 mile should be prepared for the entire city or town, in one sheet or in several sheets depending upon the size of the town, showing broad layout of roads, streets, lanes, etc., and showing imJ:ortant land marks like main administrative or public buildings, famous temples, public places, tanks, ponds, etc. There should also be some way of showing on the map which areas are comparatively prosperous and in which directions the city or town is extending itself. 2. Later on when Census Charges, Supervis')r Circles and Enumeration Blocks have been carved cut, they will be shown on these maps. Each Enumeration Block is required to be shown on these maps even when on account of its smallness its name cannot be written on the map and it has to be indicated by a number. Each map will be accompanied by a complete list of the Enu meration Blocks arranged geographically. 3. It is hoped that there will be no difficulty in the preparation of these maps as the idea of showing individual buildings and houses in them has been given up in view of the difficulties involved. 4. Sketch maps for parts of the city or town will be prepared by the Enumerators at the time of houselis~ing delineating the sf,quence of house numbering showing where it begins and where it ends. They will be stitched to the houselists as a step towards permanent maintenance of Census housenumbers. 212 The above. instructions may kindly be brought to the notice of all Municipal Boards, Noti tied Area C?mmlttees and Town Area Committees of your districts and their compliance reports may be furn~shed to Government by the end of February 1960. The local Boards are not required to send copIes of maps prepared by them while forwarding their compliance reports. Yours faithfully, J. N. TEWARI, Up Sachiv.

Subject: Ward Maps for Census 1961 SIR, NAGAR-PA I am directed to say that in connexion with the forthcoming census all the Municipalities, LlKA- (KA) Notified Areas and Town Areas will be required to have an up-to-date map of each ward. Govern VlBHAG. ment are informed that only a few municipalites possess survey roaps and t~ese too are mostly out of date and cannot be relied upon. Perhaps a large number of local bodies may not be able to acquire proper survey maps in view of their poor finances. I am, therefore, to request you to ask all Municipalities, Notified Areas and Town Areas in your district to get a map prepared ver)' -213 expeditiou sly for each ward showing the broad layout of streets, lanes and showing individual houses. House numbers can be filled in later in the spaces when instructions regarding the system of house numbering to be followed are issued. These maps need not be drawn to scale. Nazri maps large enough to show streets, lanes and houses will be sufficient. They will be very helpful in permanent maintenance of house numbers. I would also request that the local bodies should send compliance reports by September 30, 1959. Compliance reports of Municipalities may please be submitted to Government in Nagarpallk' (Ka) Vibhag and of Notified and Town Areas to Government in Panchayat Raj Vibhag. Yours faithfully, J. N.

To ALL HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS, COMMISSIONERS OF DIVISIONS, DISTRICT OFFICERS, DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGES AND PRINCIPAL HEADS OF OFFICES IN UTTAR PRADESH. Dated: Lucknow, December 30,1960. Subject-Recognition of good work done in the coming Census GENERAL SIR, ~DMINIlI1'RA As you are aware the efficient conduct of the forthcoming Census would be an important [ON DSPART operation. The main responsibility for the successful execution of this work rests with the District (e",. Officers, but this responsibility will not be adequately discharged unless keen interest and energy are brought to bear on their work by District Census Officers, Sub-Divisional Officers and City Magistrates, as well as by a large number of other officials of Government and local bodies employed on the operations. I am accordingly directed to request that this point may be im pressed on all the officials concerned under your control. E,ntries in Confidential Rolls 2. In order to encourage all those officials employed on Census work, it is felt that good workers should receive recognition. In paragraph 4 of G. O. no. 1069-A/III-8 M-1960, dated May 6, 1960, it was stated that the performance of State Government employees in Census duties should be taken into account in the periodical assessment of their work and capabilities and that particularly good work should be immediately brought to the notice of their superior officers in order that it might be formally recognised and made part of their confidential rolls. I am accordingly to indicate below the manner in which such formal recognition should be brought on record: (1) All District Officers will record entries regarding particularly good work done in the Census, in the character/confidential rolls of officials in whose rolls they are themselves competent to make entries. 218 (2) In the case of school teachers serving under Government, or local bodies (including Antarim Zila Parishads), the District Officers will bring it to the notice of the District Inspector of Schools, Education Superintendent or Deputy Inspector of Schools con cerned as the case may be. (3) In the case of the other employees of local bodies, the District Officers will bring to the notice of the local bodies concerned for incorporation in the character rolls of the employees concerned. (4) In the case of gazetted officers not directly under their control, the District Officers will bring the commendation to the notice of the Head of the Department concerned, under intimation to Government in the administrative department. (5) As the District Census Officers, Sub-Divisional Officers and City Magistrates will be most actively associated with Census Operations, cognizance of their work will be taken by the Commissioners and the District Officers concerned at the time of the annual entries. The Superintendent of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh, is being authorized to send his remarks about Census work of these officers for incorporation in their rolls, to the Commissioners and the District Officers concerned. Award of Census Medals 3. Apart from particularly good work being recognised as in the manner indicated in para graph 2 above, outstanding zeal and quality of Census services will also receive recognition by the award of the 1961 Census Medal. 4. All Census workers, official and non-official, gazetted and non-gazetted, would qualify for this award. The award would also be brought on official record by the competent authority in the manner indicated in sub-paragraphs (1) to (5) of paragraph 2 above. 5. Government have further decided that an appropriate occasion for the distribution of the Census medals would be August 15, 1961, i.e. the Independence Day, when the District Officers could arrange to hold a small function for the purpose at the district headquarters. 6. I am to request that the contents of this letter may be brought to the notice of all the employees concerned under your control in order that there may be a healthy emulation amongst them all for due recognition of their Census work and services.

Successful conclusion of Census Operations DEAR SIR, The Registrar General, India, has in aD. O. letter addressed to me written in highly com mendatory terms of the assistance which the Census authorities received from all categories of officials who had been assigned duties in this work of national importance. He has added that all officials engaged in Census work approached their task in the realisation that Census was a national undertaking and that this realisation imbued them with feelings of genuine co-operation with all those connected with this task. 2. I am to request that the commendation of the Registrar General be conveyed to all those officials who rendered help in these operations. 3. I am to add that the State Government too have noted with much satisfaction the assist ance and co-operation rendered by you and the officials subordinate to you in the successful comple tion of the task of census-taking which has been of such great magnitude and complexity. I am to request that the appreciation of the State Government may also be similarly communicated to all those officials. - Yours sincerely, GOVIND NARAIN.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA 2/ A, MANSINGH ROAD, KOTAH HOUSE ANNEXE, NEW DELm·2. March 14, 1959. DEAR. BHATNAGAR, THE next decennial Indian Census will be the 10th of the Indian Census Series and the secQnd since Independence. The reference date for the Census will be March 1, 1961. 2. It should be our earnest endeavour to make the next Census one of our very best. 3. We are lucky to have secured the early appointment of Census Superintendents in the States. In previous censuses, Census Superintendents were appointed just about a year or less before the enumeration date. My modest experience of the 1951 Census showed that the time at the dis.posal of a State Census Superintendent was quite insufficient to obtain a proper back· ground of the Census and of the conditions of his State which are so essential. The merger and integration of former princely States presented complex problems to some of the Superintendents in 1951. In the forthcoming Census, too, the recent reorganisation of States is likely to create diverse problems constantly demanding your attention. 4. The Indian Census has, in the past, been compared to the mythical phoenix, which arises with renewed vigour from its ashes. The Census organisation, similarly, is set up one or two years before the census date and lasts for three or four years and is heard ofoo more till the next census. Though the Government of India, after Independence, passed a permanent Census Act and created a permanent post of Registrar General, this post was never filled up continuously by a fuIl·tittl6 officer. Fortunately, however, the core of the Census Commissioner's Office has this time conti· nued uninterruptedly from the last census. In the States, the West Bengal Office has been in continuous etistence since 1950, while Mysore too, has continuously maintained its Census depart ment following the tradition of the erstwhile princely State. There is no running Census office in any other State and the S. C. O. has, therefore, to start from scratch. You will start with the following staff for your office but you should be very careful in choos· ing your men, as you cannot afford to go in for indifferent quality for your key men: ' (1) Head Assistant 1 (2) Accountant-Cashier 1 (3) Statistical Assistants 2 (4) Stenographer 1 (5) Clerks 4 (6) Peons.. 3 224 5. The State Governments have already been requested to arrange office accommodation for you. But should they be unable to secure it (indeed, this will really be the work of the local Estate Officer of the Government of India), it should be your foremost duty to find out suitable aooommodation for your office. It will repay to select accommodation as near as possible to the main offices of the State Government, as you will have constantly to deal with them. 6. The records of the 1951 and previous censuses, if any, should be fetched to your office. Due to the reorganisation of States, your present jurisdiction may have greatly changed from the last Census. You may not have access to the records of those parts which were outside the 1951 jurisdiction of your State. You might, therefore, try to obtain the records of these parts from your colleagues in the neighbouring States, provided they could be conveniently spared without any inconvenience. It may be necessary for you to send some of your staff to fetch them or copies of them from neighbouring States. You should have a complete set of 1951 Census publications, both for All-India and for the different States, which will probably be among the Census Records. But if they are not, you will doubtless ask officers of the State Government keeping charge of Census papers and obtain these reports. You should also have in your office all other Census publications that might have been used by your predecessor which may be either in the Census records or with the State Government. Reports of previous censuses should be available in the State Secretariat library or other good libraries. 7. Enelosed you will find the following papers on various administrative and financial matters connected with your office: (1) Orders of the Government of India in regard to your financial powers; (2) Orders in regard to permanent advance for your office ; (3) Auditor-General's rules for classification of accounts; (4) Instructions of the Chief Controller of Printing and Stationery in regard to supply of stationery to your office and printing. The Deputy Controller of Stationery, Calcutta, has been advised to supply you with a modest quantity of stationery, so that you may have no difficulty in starting an office. "S. It will be rewarding to study the 1951 All-India and Census Reports and as many other State reports as possible. You should also study the Administration Report of your State and any papers recommended therein for your study. It should be extremely profitable to spend some time with your predecessor of 1951. If you do not know your State well enough at first hand, it will be useful to acquire working first hand knowledge by visiting different parts of the State as quickly as possible. 9. I propose to hold as soon as practicable a conference this year of all State Census Superintendents to which the preliminary arrangements for Census enumeration will be discussed and finalised. By that time you should have made a preliminary study of previous censuses, papers and documents, brushed up your knowledge of statistics and also formed your views on various aspects of Census enumeration that are dealt with in the following paragraphs. Most of them will be discussed and finalised at the conference on the basis of which a calendar of opera tions will have to be devised on a strict time schedule, for the most sacred thing in a Census operation is the Census. calendar. 10. A census, according to the late Mr. Yeatts, could be summed up as "first you count and then you tabulate". Enumeration is the more important of the two operations because at the census enumeration the aim should be to catch every man, only once and leave out none. It involves the building up of a counting organisation which should be so perfect that there will be no likelihood of anyone being omitted from the count. 11. In India the convasser method is used for enumeration which means that a Census Officer designated "Enumerator" should visit every house within his allotted block of houses during a prescribed enumeration period. This involves first a clear delimitation of territories by which the nearest household will be accounted for. The most essential pre-requisite of Census work is a graduated breaking-up of the entire district to distribute the work and the building up of a pyramid of jurisdiction and responsibility from below. In the censuses earlier than 1951, it was the practice to create artificia1 divisions in a district like charges, Circles and Blocks for Census purposes. At the 1951 Census, this practice of artificial divisions was given up and the usual administrative divisions of districts for revenue or general administration purposes, e.g. tahsil, thana, town, village, ward, etc., was maintained whole hog for the Census. This helped to establish 225 a natlltally acceptable location code on the basis of territorial units in a district. By giving a number to a district, a number to a thana, tahsil, la/uk or town, a number to the village or ward of a town and a number to the Census House, a census house can be located easily by a code consi· sting of four numbers viz. (1) number of the district, (2) number of thana, tahsil, ta/uk or town~ (3) number of the village or ward and (4) number of the Census House. 12. At the 1951 Census some latitude was given to the State Census Superintendents in developing a location code. But in 1961 in order to make the location code really worthwhile for the whole of India, it should have a uniform structure for all States. The location code of a dwell ing in a non-municipal area will consist of four numbers: (1) number of the district, (2) number of the thana, tahsil or ta/uk, (3) number of the revenue village or mauza, and (4) number of the dwelling in the village or mauza. The location code of a dwelling in municipalities and non municipal towns will similarly consist of four numbers: (1) number of the district, (2) number of the municipality or non-municipal town to be described by a Roman numeral, (3) number of the territorial ward or block or locality, if there is no ward, and (4) the number of the dwelling in the territorial ward, etc. 13. It was the 1951 Census practice to have a separate serial for districts in each State. For the next census, however, it is proposed to number all districts in a continuous serially so that each district will be assigned a unique number for the country as a whole. The actual system of numbering, i.e., whether the States will be taken in alphabetical order or arranged geographically and what order should be followed within each State for numbering the districts will be decided later. 14. Within each district in the rural areas, thanas/tahsils/ta/uks will be numbered serially based on the entity of recognised administrative sub-divisions. In the case of towns all the towns in a district will be given one serial. Roman numbers will be given to them to distinguish them ftom thana/tahsil/ta/uk numbers. Towns will be numbered serially in the order to be decided upon .. 15. Revenue villages or survey mauzas in a thana/tahsiIftaluk will be serially numb.feQ according to their geographical location. In cases where a revenue-village consists of more than one hamlet or there are district hamlets attached to a revenue village, the haI1llets may be given tub-numbers under the main number of the village. In the case of urban areas where there are wards, the: wards can be numbered serially according to the order adopted by the Municipality. Where, however, the municipalities have not been divided into wards, district localities can be demarcated bounded by well defined roads, streets or lanes and given numbers. 16. A list of places to be treated as towns for the forthcoming Census is drawn up by State Superintendents at the beginning of Census Operation. The lists should be approved by respective State Governments concerned. In the past it has been the practice to designate as towns all muni cipalities, cantonments and other places having a local administration, e.g. civil lines. All other p1acea with a total population of not less than 5,000 persons were also treated as towns if, accord IAI to the State Government and the Census Superintendent, they possessed urban characteristics. In actual practice however, many States sometimes declared as towns even those places which were not municipalities, cantonments or civil lines with populations much less than 5,000. Since urbanisation is going to be a major field of study from 1961 onwards, greater strictness and unifor mity should henceforth prevail in the definition of 'town' so that precise criteria may be set up in the interest of comparability. 17. For Census purposes a town is defined as an area of 5,000 popUlation or over not less than three-fourths of whom live on non-agricultural livelihoods. Where the population is predominantly agricultural the background is rur_lll and the place cannot, therefore, be classified as urban. Where the livelihood is predominantly non-agricultural, there is likely to be a more urban background and the pla~e can be treated as a town. 18. At the 1951 Census, in West Bengal, it was prescribed that, in order that a place may be classified as a town, it should have (1) a population of not less than 5,000, (2) a density of not 1esa than 1,000 persons per square mile and that (3) at least three-fourths of the adult male popula.. tion should be employed in pursuits other than agriculture. It is possible that in many States, where the average urban density is not as high as in West Bengal, urban localities may not attain Juch a high density. But it should be possible to apply the other two criteria uniformly to all States. I would, therefore, suggest that in the case of aU States, localities other than municipalities, canton ments or civil lines should be treated as towns for purposes of the Census, if their population is not less than 5,000 and their adult male population in non-agricultural livelihoods is at leatt 226 three-fourths of the total' male population of the locality.· From the 1951 District Census. Handbooks, you will be able to find out the proportion of agricultural and non-agricultural classes for each village or town, from which you can draw up a tentative revised list of towns on tho· a.bove basis. The criteria to be adopted can be further discussed at the conference and the list finalised and approval of the State Governments taken where necessary. i9. You should have an up-to-date tahsiIfthanaJtaluk map showing the location and boundaries of villages and towns in as big a scale as possible but preferably 1" = 1 mile. You should have at least two copies of this map and one copy may be kept in the tahsil/thanajtaluk office.'· I have written to the various State Governments for the preparation of these maps. In case the maps are not available in your State, you should take immediate steps to have them prepared and copies taken. These maps will ensure complete coverage of the census. They will also be useful in your tours. 20. The ultimate unit IilO far as the' census is concerned is the household. This was defined at the 1951 Census as "a group of people who live together and take their meals from a common kitchen". It isproposed to follow this definition in the next census also. Above the -household is the census house where also it is proposed to follow the 1951 Census definition, viz. "a dwelling with a separate main entrance". There may be a number of house-holds in a census house or a census house may consist of only one house-hold. Housenumbering and preparation of Houselists are distinct operations in the population census. I shall deal with them separately below. 21. The head of the enumeration hierarchy in a district is the:District Census Officer who will usually be an Administrator or Revenue Divisional Officer, at the headquarters of the District. He acts on behalf and on the authority of the District Officer and is the key person for making all arrangements for the Census in the district-delimitation of territories, preparation of various regis ters the training of enumerators. You should secure the appointment of the District Census Officers as early as possible and also obtain the State Government's assurance that he will not be disturbed from this post till the completion of enumeration and the handing over of the necessary documents to the Census Tabulation Office. In the past, State Superintendents were not infre quently much inconvenienced by ,frequent transfers of the District Census Officers even at the final stages of preparation for the Census. Such transfers cannot but affect the quality of enumeration in the district. . ~2. Below the District Census Officer is the officer designated as "Charge Superintendent". Where possible, a whole thana/tahsil/talu(c may be constituted into a charge and the general ad ministration or revenue officer of the thana/tahsil/taluk may be appointed as Charge Superintendent. Otherwise, the district may be divided into a number of Charges and suitable officers of Govern ment or local bodies may be appointed Charge Superintendents. Charge Superintendents will be the principal channel of communication between District Census Officers and Supervisors and' Enumerators. In the beginning, they will, by virtue of their local knowledge, assist in the appoint ment of competent supervisors and enumerators and, in the later stages, they will effectively instruct and train enumerators and keep the Census on a strict time-table. 23. The District Census Officer and the thana{tahsil/taluk Census Officer usually have to attend to a great deal of correspondence. No wholetime clerical assistance was ever given before 1951. At the 1951 Census, however, one clerk was attached to each District Census Officer and in 'some cases a clerk was also sanctioned for each thanaftahsilftaluk Census Officer. It will be possible in 1961 to render uniform clerical assistance to all District and thana/tahsiljta!uk Census Officers. In the case of districts, each District Census Officer will be provided with one Upper Divison Clerk, two Lower Division Clerks and two peons and each sub-divisional Census Office with one Lower Division Clerk and one peon for a period of fifteen months, i.e. from March 1, 1960_to· May 31, 1961. 24. Next to the Charge Superintendent in the Census hierarchy is the "Census Supervisor". The Supervisor will be in charge of a number of enumerators. The number of enumerators under a supervisor differed in the past from State to State. 25. The Supervisors are an important link in the chain of Census Officers. They will have to master the instructions and rules issued for their guidance and explain them to and instruct the enumerators. They will hav. to move about their circles and inspect the work of the eSlllUerators. 227 26. Below the Supervisor is the "Census Enumerator" who does the house-counting and makes Qut the houselists and visits every house during the enumeration period and fills up. the enumeration schedules. The success of enumeration depends on the quality of the enumerator and the training that has been imparted to him. The enumerator's charge has differed in the past from State to State. The charge was necessarily smaller in urban areas than in rural areas. In the case of small villages consisting of 150 to 200 houses, one enumerator will suffice to do the enumeration of the entire village. In the case of big villages, they may have to be split up into blocks, each block being assigned to an enumerator. In the case of urban areas, blocks will have to be formed for enumerators. Past practice will be your guide in the matter. 27. The Census has, in the past, relied on the revenue officials, officials of Union Boards, local bodies, school teachers, etc:, for carrying out the enumeration. Although this system has worked satisfactorily, it will still be worthwhile if you could investigate whether enumerators could not be recruited from a single agency, e.g. village school masters, in rural areas. This implies that there should be a sufficient supply of school masters so that all the enumerators could be recruited from this source. ' 28. In addition to the school masters, thanks to developmental activities, educated per sonnel may be available at the village level who could supplement the school masters, should sufficient number of school masters be not available. I would request you to make on the spot studies in consultation with the district officers and formulate views on the agency that should be u!?ed for enumeration purposes in your State. This can be discussed further at the Conference and finalised. 29. We have effected considerable reduction in the army of enumerators employed in the censuses since 1931. This was because the 1931 and earlier censuses were confined to one night and arrangements had to be made for visiting all the houses during the Census night and also for enumeration of travellers by train and other floating population. After the 1931 Census, the "one night" Census was given up and enumeration spread over a number of days. At the 1951 Census, enumeration was spread over twenty days-from 9th to 28th February, 1951, followed by another period of three days-from 1st to 3rd March, 1951-to check births and deaths that took place subsequent to enumeration but before the reference date (March 1 ) and for the enumera, tion of casual visitors not enumerated elsewhere. At the next Census also, enumeration will re spread over a number of days. The period of twenty days was fixed at the last Census primarily for administrative convenience. The experience of the 1951 Census suggests that a period of 20 days may be on the high side and may have to be reduced a little. The reduction in the period will also reduce omissions in recording new births and deaths and migration. The period will, however, have to depend on so many factors, like the availability of enumeration staff and the time taken for filling up the schedule. The enumeration schedules are being pretested which will give an indica tion of-the average time taken for filling up the schedule. On this basis, we can fix a norm for each enumerator which will help us in determining the period of enumeration and the optimum strength of enumeration staff that should be appointed. The matter can be further discussed at the con~ ference on the basis of the results of the pre test. You can yourself have some pretesting of the s.ch~ules made in order to examine this aspect of the question. 30. Various forms and registers are usually prepared to show the Census divisions and allotment of enumerators, supervisors, etc. The forms varied from State to State in the past, I propose to have a uniform set of forms for all the .States and also of uniform sizes. I have asked the Controller of Printing and Stationery to supply you 23 lb. Royal White Printing paper (20" X 26") for preparation of these forms. We shall, at the conference, decide on the forms and registers to be prepared for enumeration and their exact contents and sizes. . 31. Soon after the delimitation of territory and appointment of enumeration staff, viz. enumerators, supervisors and Charge Superintendents, the housenumbering and houselisting operations should be started. Housenumbering can start after the rains in 1960. . . 32. In 1948, Mr. Yeatts, the first Registrar General issued instructions for the numbering of houses and their permanent maintenance. Though some of the State Governments issued instructions for numbering and even their maintenance, it was found at the time of the First Con ference for 1951 Census, held early in 1950, that in most of the States this housenumbering had to be done over again as the first numbers were not continuously maintained. " . 33. It will be useful for you to study whether in any part of your State the house I\umber'i given for the 1951 Census have been maintained, Le. kept up to date. In· Madhya Pradesh for example, the late Sri K:arawalla, the 1951 Census Superintendent, has stated in his Adminms \.{ation Report that in his State, the State Government had taken steps to number the hotlses even 228 before the arrangements for the 1951 Census started and permanent number plates were introduced in many municipalities. I give below an extract from the Administration Report of Madhya Pradesh. "In almost all places, the housenumbering was originally done by painting the numbers on the door shutters or walls of the houses and the real work concerned with the house numbering done in 1950 was about re-painting the obliterated numbers in rural areas and getting permanent numbers affixed in the more important municipal areas. As a result of intensive efforts. sixty out of one hundred and ten municipalities in Madhya Pradesh agreed to have permanent number-plates throughout their jurisdiction, and it is matter of satisfaction that in many of these towns permanent number-plates were affixed before the Census actually commenced. These numbers were checked very intensively by several officers. In the Wardha District, the Deputy Commissioner personally checked the house numbers in a number of villages and took strong disciplinary action against a Revenue Inspector who had failed to comply with his instructions in the matter." But I have no information that house-numbering has been maintained after the 1951 Census either in Madhya Pradesh or in any other State. You should. therefore, make a careful study whether any numbering exists and, if so, whether the numbering is up-to-date. If the numbering is not up-to-date, renumbering should be done for the 1961 Census. 34. There are two methods which could be adopted for the numbering of houses. In rural areas, a village mayor may not consist of a number of streets in a certain order. If the streets are arranged in a certain order, the best method of numbering would be to number the houses conti nously in the various streets, the streets being taken in order starting from the North and ending in the South. Within a street, there are two alternatives; either the houses can be numbered in one continuous series clock-wise or odd numbers may be given to houses on one side and even numbers to these on the other side. The first method is preferable as there will be continuity in the house numbers. If in a village, there is no division into regular streets, the houses can be numbered continuously starting from the north-western and ending in the south-eastern, taking care to see that no house is omitted. 35. In the case of urban areas, there can be a continuous numbering of houses in the same manner as in rural areas on the basis of the municipal ward, if the wards are small. If the wards are big and consist of a number of long streets which cut across the boundaries of wards, each street can be given a continuous serial of house numbers for its entire length. In the case of urban areas, different methods can be followed depending on the size 8nd nature of the locality. The system followed in the 1951 Census would be a useful guide. You may study the numbering system adopted at the last Census in your State and formulate proposals for numbering for the next Census. These can be finalized at the Conference in which an attempt will be made to conform as closely as possible to the method adopted for the preparation of electoral rolls of the State. You may also $tudy the ~umbering system used for electoral rolls and compare it with the 1951 Census System. , 36. The marking material used at the last Census could be repeated in the next. Bu~ muni- cipalities which agree to maintain permanent number-plates at their own expense should be encour aged to do so. 37. The maintaining of house-numbers wiU be useful for statistical studies. The Statistical Adviser to the Government of India has also emphasised the need for maintaining house-numbers given at the Census. You should, therefore, try to maintain the house-numbers. How we should set about to do so may be discussed at the next Conference. 38. The Houselist should be prepared almost simultaneously with house-numbering. I enclose a copy of the draft Houselist and the instructions for filling it. The Houselist is being pre-tested along with the enumeration schedule by the various State Statistical Bureaus and other agencies. The results will help us to take a decision on its final form. It would also be useful if you could have the draft Houselist pre-tested in a few localities. The results of your pretest will also be useful in coming to a decision on the contents of the Houselist. 39. In past Censuses, the contents of the Houselist were left to the discretion of State Superintendents. At this Census, it is proposed to have a uniform Houselist for all States. 40. In order to meet the wishes of the National Buildings Organisation, it is proposed to have at the nex.t Census information on "buildings". a "building" being defined as a separate structure on the ground. The adoption of "buildingH will, however, depend on whether it is possible 229 to put across the concept at the pre-testing stage. Ifwe adopt three sub-numbers for a household nam.ely Building Number, Census House Number. and Household Number. a household may consist of either one number or two numbers or three numbers as explained below : if in a building. there should be more than one Census house and ifin each of them or in any of them, there should be more than one household, the households will have three sub-numbers : Building Number, Census House Number, and Household Number. If, however, a building and a Census house are the same and there are a number of households, there will be only two sub-numbers : Building Number, and Household Number. Ifin a building there should be only one census house and one household, there will be only one number, namely the Building Number. 41. We should give the number in such a way that it would be easy to distinguish between these different categories. Arabic numeral may be given to distinguish the building, Roman numeral to distinguish the census house and alphabets to denote the households, in which case 4/1jA will denote the first household in the first census house of building number 4. This matter will have to be gone into in greater detail after the pre-testing and we will have to take a decision in this matter at the Conference. 42. It will be very useful to have a map for every village and ward of a town showing the broad lay-out of the village and the house-numbers shown therein. The map need not be drawn to scale but a map large enough to show the house-numbers would be sufficient. A map of this kind, if prepared, will also help the maintenance of house-numbers. It may not be difficult to prepare such village maps now since most of the villages are likely to be covered by the Community Development Programme before the 1961 Census. This map will also be useful to the Community Development Programme work. 43. India's tradition of honorary enumeration will have to be continued in the next Census also. It is unique that in this country Census is acknowledged as a national undertaking in the taking of which all the State Governments extend their unstinted support and ready assistance and a very large number of officials and non-officials co-operate. 44. At the 1951 Census, a small remuneration was paid to the enumeration staff in some States by way of scriptory charges for the National Register of Citizens which was prepared at the Census. It is not proposed to prepare such a register at the next Census. But the question whether the enumerators and the supervisors should not be given a small honorarium to cover their out of-pocket expenses and other incidental charges that may be incurred by them will have to be examined at the next Conference, to which you will no doubt carry the views of the State Govern· ment. We can write to the State Governments requesting their co-operation as in the past. 45. The,Census medal introduced in the last Census was much appreciated and we can also think of instituting a similar medal for the 1961 Census. These matters can be discussed further at the Conference. 46. I enclose a copy of the draft enumeration schedule and the draft instructions for the next Census. I enclose also a copy of the note which I sent to the Home Ministry as a brief rationale of the questionnaire which gives the background of the schedule and the questionnaire. Two meet ings were held, one with the representatives of the Ministries, Planning Commission, Central Statistical Org,misation, National Sample Survey, Indian Statistical Institute, etc. and the other with the Dire:;tors of State Statistical Bureaus. In the first meeting, the schedule and questionnaire for the next Census were discussed. These were also discussed at the second meeting among other matters. I enclose a copy each of the proceedings of these two meetings. 47. The Directors of State Statistical Bureaus kindly volunteered to pretest the question~ t:!aire with the help of their staff and also with the help of school teachers and patwaris who are our usual agency for enumeration. I enclose a copy of the letter I sent to them in regard to pre-testing. The pre-testing has either been completed in some of the States or is under completion. The results of the pre-testing will be analysed in this office in order to find out the changes that might be required in the form of the questions or instructions. The Directors of State Statistical Bureaus have also un:iertaken the translation of the questionnaire and instructions into the regional languages for purposes of pre-testing. You can get copies of these translations from the Directors. . 48. It would be convenient at this stage, preparatory to the Conference, if you could also undertake pre-testing of the schedules and instructions in the rural and urban areas in some districts of your State by employing the same agency as we propose to use for the next Census. This can 230 be done during the months of May-June and you can take about 5,000 households consistin g of2,500 in urban and 2,500 in rural areas. You can yourself analyse the results cifthe pretest. We can finally settle the modifications, etc., required in the questions and instructions at our conference. - 49. On you rests"the ultimate responsibility for correct enumeration of the population of your State. You should, therefore, be satisfied that the- questionnaire can be put through and cor rect answers ensured. The scope of misinterpretation of the questions should be reduced to a nfinimum. The pretest offers you ample opportunity to secure this objective. 50. In addition to the usual instructions, it will be desirable to have typical answers printed and cirCUlated to enumerators along with the instructions. These will especially be useful in illustraling the questions on occupations and industries where the enumerators will be liable to record incomplete or incorrect answers. Typical entries can also be drawn up on an all-India basis and Superintendents can use the local vernacular terms in their own instructions to enumerators. 51. The household population will be enumerated in the· household enumeration schedules. In addition to the hous~hold population, we shall have to make arrangements for the enumeration of population residing in institutions like hospitals, etc., and for the enumeration of floating popula tion like wandering tribes,tramps, sadhus etc. In the case of the floating population enumeration can be done on the night preceding the sunrise of 1st March. It will not be necessary to fill up the Household schedules for this class of population. We can, therefore, either use the enumeration slips itithe "schedule or have different schedules. This also we can discuss and decide at the Con ference.· . 52. It has been tentatively decided to have the enumeration schedules and instructions printed centrally at Central Government Presses. This will ensure uniformity in the quality of printing, which is important and uniformity of instructions in the regional1anguages. It is necessary, however, that before the translations are sent for printing the Superintendent of Census Operations concerned should be satisfied that the translations-will work wen in his region since in the case of Hindi and a few other regional languages, more than one State will have to use the same schedules. I enclose a copy of a discussion I had with the Controller of Printing and Stationery in this connexion. Manuals, circulars or other local instructions can be printed by you at the local Gov ernment presses. It is also proposed to have a uniform size for all material issued in connexion with the Census as you will see from the summary of discussions enclosed. You will have to work out YJur re.:juirements of the enumeration schedules and instructions and place an indent with th'is office before the end of this calendar year. 53. As I have already stated, enumeration of household population will be spread over a number of days in February, ending with 28th February, 1961. The exact period for enumeration will be fixed later. As at the 1951 Census, the first three days of March, 1961, will be devoted for the final check during which every house will be revisited by the enumerator concerned. The object of this second visit will to bring enumeration up to the reference date (i.e. 1st Marcb, 1961.). For this purpose, the enumerator should (1) enumerate every birth that has taken place in a household since his last visit, (2) cancel the slip for any death that might have taken place in any house since his last visit and (3) enumerate any visitor whom he finds in the household and who has not been enumerated. anywhere else during the period of enumeration. These points have been incorporated in the general instructions to enumerators. 54. India has a tradition of publishing provisional population figures within a month or six weeks of completion of enumeration. For the 1951 Census, the provisional totals were pub lished in April 1951. In many States they were published around the 10th of March. The provi sional figures published and the final figures of population differed only to a very small extent. In a popUlation of 357 million, the provisional totals showed an excess of only about 60,000 persons. We should publish the provisional totals at the next Census as eady as possible after the completion of enumeration. This is a matter of organization. The enumeration schedule for each household provides for an Enumerator's Abstract showing the total population and literates. There will also be an Enumerator's Abstract for his entire block. The enumerator sbould be trained to add up the population and the literates in his block from each schedule Abstract and post them in his block abc;tract which he should hand over to the supervisor on 3rd March, 1961. The - Supervisor should, in turn, add up these abstracts and send the total recorded on his Supervisor's Abstract "together with the Enumerator's Abstracts to his Charge Superintendent. The Charge Su'parintendent will, in his turn, add up the totals of his Supervisor's Abstracts in his Charge Superin tendents' Abstract, from where it-should be sent to the district headquarters. The District Census, 231 Officer should consolidate the' figures for the district and telegraphically intimate the figures'to you and to me without the slightest delay. The figures for the States can be consolidated both by you and by me and will be published for general information after you have tallied it with me over the telephone. When all the States have been tallied, the all-India figures will be published by me. 55. It takes two to make a Census; the citizen and the enumerator. The success of a Census depends on the training of the enumeration staff and the co-operation of the public. Inten sive training should be given to the enumerators and you should work out a programme of training for all the enumeration staff. The quality of training and the enthusiasm of the public will depend, to some extent, upon the number of training classes you can yourself take both' at District and Sub-division headquarters. At the last Census, in SOlIl,e of the States, a training Sample Census was held about three months before the Census date. Census was held about three months before the Census date. In a certain State, each enumerator was called upon during the Sample Census to census fully only three Census households selected according to a particular pattern within his jurisdiction. The Sample Training Census served to infuse confidence and thoroughness into Census enumerators. In other States, where a training Sample Census was con ducted, the supervisors carried out the actual enumeration and the Charge Superintendents acted as supervisors. In these cases, intensive training was given to the Supervisors and Charge Superin tendents. It will be profitable to follow a uniform procedure at the next Census. A Sample, Census, where enumerators, Supervisors and Charge Superintendents, all partake, would be more useful than the one where only the higher officials partake. If we take the households on a random sample, it may be possible to have some preliminary tabulations also. 56. Publicity is as important as training. The citizen's role in the Census is perhaps more important than that of the enumerator in the Census since, by and large, it is for the citizen to understand the questions and give the correct answers. Various methods of publicity were adopted in the States in 1951 and you might study them with profit. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry have made a provision of Rs.4.5 lakhs for the year 1959-60 for Census pUblicity which includes the following items : (i) preparation of seven million copies of folders in the various regional languages explaining and illustrating Census methods and procedure and (ii) seven lakhs of broad-sheets explaining the importance of the Census. In addition, it is also proposed to have an Information Film of educational value which will explain the purpose of the Census, its importance in the context of 'planning and also how it is taken. The _scr~pt for the film is under preparation and it is likely to be produced during the year 1~59-60. Publicity can be discussed at the conference so that we can adopt a variety of procedure- calculated to secure the widest and most effective publicity. ' "- 5..7.. Tabulation follows enumeration. The tables have not yet been finalized. This office has framed certain tentative tables on the basis of the draft questionnaire. With the help of the enumeration schedules completed during the pretesting operations, it will be possible to carry out test sorting and tabulation in my office to finalize the table forms and table headings and also the best sequence of sorting so that the greatest economy of effort and money can be secured. ' 58. We have to follow the tradition3l1 method of tabulation adopted in India, nantely, by 4andsorting. It would be necessary to open ad hoc tabulation offices which should start operating immediately after the completion of enumeration. It will be desirable to have one tabulation office for every six million population and you will have to locate the tabulation offices at convenient places depending upon the availability of accommodation and of temporary staff who will be requisHioned for service for about five or six months. Right from now, you might be on the look-out for suitable buildings for these offices. You should also make early arrangements for locating the officers who will be in charge of these various tabulation offices. They should be officers belonging either to the State Civil Service or Junior State Civil Service and should, be capable of successfully running these offices by maintaining a high standard of discipline and extr.acting work of good quality from purely a~ h~c_ and temporary staff. The Deputy Superintendents can be appointed a few months ahead of the enumeration so that they can help you in training the enumeration staffin the districts of their tabulation offices. They will also get to know the quality of enumeration in their charge.. 59. W-e shall have a Tabulation Conference around October 1960, when we shall finalize the arrangements for tabulation in addition to reviewirig the progress of work in regard to enumera- tion.' ",, : ~ , . '.,~, 232 60. One of the most important publications of the 1951 Census was the District Census Handbook. This should be continued at the next Census. We should endeavour to enrich the publication by adding general information of value in regard to each village. like existence of primary or secondary schools, nearness to railway station. drinking water facilities, etc. etc. You can think over the useful information that could be given in the District Census Handbook in regard to each village. We can have a final list prepared which you can start compiling with the help of the various governmental authorities. 61. Last but not least is reportin~ and the publication of reports. I shall take this up later. 62. I enclo'!e for your study (0) the following publications of the United Nations: (1) Handbook of Population Census Methods, Volumes I to III.

OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA, 2-A, MANSINGH ROAD. NEW DBLHI. January 3, 1961. DEAR BHATNAGAR, I have received the Houselist population for nine States and two Union Territories so far. In some cases I have received only the total population for the State while in others I have received detailed figures down to the tahsil and town level. On a study of the figures I find that there is a wide range in the variation between the 1951 Census and the Houselist population figures. The range is from 75 per cent to 9 per cent and in the case of major States between 30 per cent and 9 per cent. As we were not sure of the accuracy of the Houselist population figures, it was my intention that these figures should not be published but I find that in some of the States these have already been published and have also been commented upon in the Press. The variation during the decade 1951-61 should not normally show a decrease over the variation during the decade 1941-51. There has been no serious epidemic or famine conditions to warrant an increase in the death rate. Due to the increase in public health activities the death rate has definitely fallen in all the States though it may differ from State to State. The birth rate can be taken the same as the last decade as there is nothing to indicate any fall or rise in that rate. One should, therefore, normally expect the same increase or slightly high increase compared to the last decade in almost all tlle States except perhaps in a few States which have been affected by the inflow of refugees since the 1951 Census. A very large variation is not warranted unless there has been an under-enumeration in the 1951 Census. There cannot be any decrease in the variation compared to the last Census unless there has been a large over-enumeration at the 1951 Census. I should, therefore, be gratefuLif you could study the variation of Houselist population of the previous decade and satisfy yourself that the Houselist population is a correct estimate of the gowth during the period 1951-60. . The Houselist population has at any rate taught us a lesson that we should from now on concentrate our attention on the actual enumeration. You, your Deputy Superintendents and all the ()fficers at your disposal like the District Census Officers, Deputy District Census Officer~, etc. 234 sbould constantly tour throughout the areas to see that there has been no omission in Houselisting or overcounting of persons in households and that the arrangements for the enumeration have been properly made and the training has been properly imparted to the enumeration staff. Your effort should be to give as accurate a population figure as possible for your State for the 196] Census. Yours sincerely, A. MITRA. SHRI P. P.

THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA, 2-A, MANSINGH ROAD, NEW DELHI-H. March 21, 1961. DEAR, On the successful conclusion of the Census Operations my first thoughts are of gratitude not only for all the kindness and- assistance, 1 and my State colleague Shri P. P. Bhatnagar, have received at your hands, but also for the fact that the entire admini~trative machinery of your State was placed at the disposal of the Census Operations. The Census received more help than it had expected from all categories of officers and all levels of administration, from the State departments and Directorates down to the level of the village. This was undoubtedly not only on account of the realization at every level that the Census was a national undertaking, but also of the effective 235 directives that you were good enough to issue. I should be very happy if you would accept my grateful thanks on behalf of myself and the entire Census Organization and convey the same to those who rendered help. I should also feel happy if you would convey my grateful thanks to the Governor and to the Chief Minister who gave every encouragement through their messages and kind directives. Thank you once again. Yours sincerely, A. MITRA. SHRI GOVIND NARAIN, I.C.S., CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT OF UTTAR PRADESH, LUCKNOW. COpy to Shri P. P. Bhatnagar, I. A.S., S.C.O., U. P., Lucknow.

No. 1388-A/III-7M-1959, dated April 30, 1959, intimating my appointment as Superintendent of Censu'l operations, Uttar Pradesh? A copy of the same is enclosed here'With for ready referenc~. 2. The next Censm will be taken in February-March, 1961, the date of reference being the sunrise of March 1, 1961. Though sixteen months are still there before actual enumeration will begin, yet a lot of work has to be done in this period and most of it will be concentrated between the months of September 1960 to March 1961. 3. The mode of taking the Census has been made final by the Census Commissioner (Registrar General) for India in the All-India Conference of State Census Superintendents held at New Delhi in September-October, 1959. The actual Census Operations will consist of HOllse numbering, Houselisting and Enumeration (Household Schedule and Individual Slips)-each operation being preceded by an intensive course of training. An army of about 1,10,000 enumera tors, numerous Supervisors, Charge Officers, etc. will be needed to complete the work. Building up of such a vast organization and operating it strictly according to the time-schedule laid down in the Census Calendar will undoubtedly be an encroachment particularly when you are hard pressed, but I am confident that you will be able to snatch a few moments from your other pre occupations to devote them to Census work and regard it as a labour of lov~. 4. From now onwards up to the conclusion of Census Operations, I shall be sending you letters, circulars, manuals, etc. I shall indeed be very thankful if you could spare a few minutes to go through them and issue such instructions to the staff as you may consider necessary to ml:!-ke 236 a success of Census Operations in your jurisdiction. The demands on your personal attentioa are no doubt numerous and of urgent nature, but I am sure that Census which is a nationa.l under taking will get its due share of attention from you and your staff.

Scope and 2. Census does not consist merely of the counting of the population. It goes much further. utility. It is a National Stock taking of the people and gathering of diverse information about every in dividual through a number of questions and also about households in which these individuals live. Without basic data on vital items it is not possible to plan the country's development nor is proper budgeting possible unless the number of persons of each category among whom the national wealth is to be divided is known. 238 Enumera ~. Taking of Census consists of two distinct operations-(i) Enumeration and (ii) Tabula tion and tion. You are intimately concerned with the Enumeration part of it, which depends on you and Tabulation. your staff for its ultimate success. Enumeration is a large-scale countrywide process which brings administration into close touch with every far and near household. It will be carried out in the following stages : States of Enumera (i) Classification of areas into urban and rural tracts ; tion. (ii) Delimitation of Census Divisions, and appointment of Enumeration staff; (iii) Housenumbering; (iv) Houselisting; and (v) Filling of Enumeration Schedules (Individual Slips) and Household Schedules. Urban 4. Almost the first thing to be done in each district is to separate the urban from the rural. and Rural. This separation will be maintained throughout the Census Operations including Tabulation. For the sake of international comparability a uniform definition of urban area is going to be adopted throughout the country at the next Census. Census 5. The urban and rural tracts will then be parcelled out in Census Divisions-Charges, Divisions, Enumera' Supervisor Circles and Enumeration Blocks-requiring a fully trained army of Charge Officers, tion Staff. Supervisors, and Enumerators. The Enumerator is the most important rung in the ladder, coming TraIning as he does in direct contact with the citizen and no amount of training given to him can be called and excessive: A practical training in the form of Sample Census will also prove useful. Sample Census. 6. It takes two to make a Census : The Enumerator and the Citizen. Success of Census Publicity. not only depends on the training imparted to the Enumerator but also on the co-operation he receives from the Citizen. To secure the co-operation of the Citizen various modes of publicity can be combined profitably to infuse the right amount of enthusiasm in the Citizen in his response to the Census Questionnaire. Publicity will be required most during the period September, 1960 to February, 1961. 7. House-numbering on the Census pattern will be taken up both in rural and urban areas House numbering. in the latter half of 1960. In the rural areas it can be done in the second fortnight of October, 1960, but in the urban areas it has to be taken up much earlier in view of the complicated nature of work involved. 8. In order to identify every dwelling a Location Code consisting of four elements has been Location Code. devised. The first element gives the Code No. of the District, the second gives the Code No. of the Tahsil or the Town within the District, the third gives the Code No. of the Village or the Ward! Mohalla within the Tahsil or the Town, and the fourth gives the Code No. of the dwelling. 9. The Houselist apart from other things is a Census of Census Houses and Census House House list data re- holds. Its preparation will start in November, 1960 after housenumbering is over. It collects garding information about the material of which walls and roofs are made, number of rooms in each house Housing hold and records whether the household lives in its own house or in a rented house-data of great and In- importance for Housing. It also collects information about the products, repairs or servicing dustry Forecast of undertaken, the average number of workers, and the fuel or power used in each, workshop and Population. factory-data of extreme importance for Industry. It also records the population of each house hold wih sex break-up to enable an advance estimate of residential population tO'be made, which is so very necessary for making Census arrangements. Enumera 10. The Enumeration Schedule (Individual Slip) seeks to collect information about every. tion Sc man, woman, or child through twenty-four questions grouped into thirteen main questions.

THE LAW OF CENSUS The legal basis of Census Operations is the Census Act, 1948 as amended. The amend !lient is not relevant for this State. Salient features of the Census Act are given below: Under section 3, Central Government notifies the taking of Census and under section 4 (I), it appoints the Census Commissioner for India and State Census Superintendents of Census Operations. Under section 4 (2), State Government may appoint Census Officers and under sub-sec tion (4), delegate these powers to any authority. Under section 5, Census Authorities are Public Servants within the meaning of Indian Penal Code. Under section 6, District Magistrate or the authority appointed by the State Govern ment can direct the categories of persons mentioned therein to perform the duties of Census Officers in respect of these in their charge. Under section 7, District Magistrate or the said authority can call upon the categories of persons mentioned therein to give such assistance as required. .. _------__• For amendments, please see last page. 241 Under Section 8, Census Officers are authorised to ask all questions as they may be directed to ask by instructions issued by State Government and publish in the official Gazette. Every person is legally bound to answer but the binding does not extend to names of any female members of a household and to the disclosure of the name of husband by a wife. Under Section 9, everyone is bound to anow Census Officers access as may be required for the purpose of Census with due regard to custom. Everyone is also bound to allow Census Officers to put such marks as may be necessary . . Under Section 10, Census Officers may leave a Schedule with an occupier or manager for being filled up and he shall be legally bound t9 deliver the same duly filled in and signed to the Census Officer or his respresentative. Section 11 provides for penalties for Census Officers and others. Punishment may be a fine upto Rs. 1,000 and in some cases up to six months imprisonment. Abetment is punishable with fine up to Rs. 1,000. Under Section 12, Sanction of the State Government or of any authority authorised by it is necessary for prosecution. Prosecution under other laws is not barred but in accordance with section 13 that also will require previous sanction as in Section 12. Section 14 provides that no Court inferior to a Magistrate n Class shall try such cases. Section 15 provides that records of Census are not open to inspection nor admissible in evidence. Section 16 provides that municipalities may take any Census in accordance with this Act notwithstanding any other Law in force for the time being. Section 17 provides that, Census Commissioner or Census Superintendent or such person as the State Government may authorize or cause abstracts to be prepared and supplied containing any such statistical information as can be derived from Census Returns not contained in any public report. Cost will be determined by the authority granting the request. Under Section 18, Central Government can make rules under this Act. No rules have so far been framed. At the 1931 Census the following notifications were issued by the various Governments (1) Notification by Government of India under Section 3 declaring that a census of the population of India should be taken during the 1951, reference date being the sun rise of March I, 1951. (2) Notification by Uttar Pradesh Government under section 4(4), delegating powers of appointing Census Officers to the Superintendent of Census Operations, all Districts Magistrates, all A. D. Ms., all S. D. Ms. and all S. D. Os. (3) Notification by Uttar Pradesh Government under Section 8, directing all Census Officers to ask all persons residing; all questions necessary for collecting information relating to items mentioned in the Individual Slip and Houselist. The notification pro vided that every person was legally bound to answer such questions to the best of his knowledge or belief. (4) Notification by Uttar Pradesh Government under Section 12, authorising District Magistrates to sanction prosecution under the Act in respect of offences committed within their districts. The above notifications of Uttar Pradesh Government have not been cancelled or amended and are still in force. Perhaps no fresh notifications may be required for the 1961 Census except the one under Section 8, as the questionnaire has changed. Central Government are likely to issue the notification under Section 3 in the beginning of 1960. II. URBAN-RURAL CLASSIFICATION The first thing to be done in Census Operations is to separate urban area clearly from the rural area. This has to be made with gret\1 care as throughout the Census Operations this sepera tion is maintained. 242 In view of the growing need for inter-national comparability of urban population and grow tng industrialisation of the country, a uniform definition of urban area will be adopted at the next Census for the whole of India. The following will be deemed to be urban areas : (I) All Municipalities, Cantotlments and Notified Areas. (2) All places which satisfied the following three conditions at the 1951 Census : (i) Population exceeded 5,000. (ii) At least 3/4th of the population depended on non-agricultural livelihood. (iii) Density of population exceeded 1,000 persons per sq. mile. All urban areas will be called towns. Towns with a population of one lakh or more will be treated as cities. Cities and towns will be classified as follows : Class I 1,00,000 and over. Class II 50,000 and over but less than 1,00,000. Class III 20,000 and over but less than 50,000. Class IV 10,000 and over but less than 20,000. Class V 5,000 and over but less than 10,000. Class VI Below 5,000. It would appear from the above that many places which were treated as t0wn'J. at the 1951 Cel1SUj will have to be taken off the list at the 1961 Census. If, however, any place is found later to conform to the definition of a town, it will be bro1lght on the list after the operation of House- listing or at the stage of tabulation. . A city or a town can be a group of several local bodies or other localities. Populations of cities and towns together with their livelihood classifications are given in Tables A-IV and A-V of District Census Handbooks, 1951. All places which are not Cities or Towns will be deemed to be rural. III. CHANGES IN AREAS OF DISTRICTS, TAHSILS AND LOCAL BODIES SINCE 1951. In this State fortunately there has been very little change during the last several decades. However, in order to enmre fullest comparability with the 1951 jurisdictions, the boundaries of districts and tahsils will have to be checked and re-checked with particular reference to villages. Some changes in the urban areas of the State have occurred since 1951 either by creation of new local bodies or by changes in area of older local bodies. These have also to be fully ascer tained to ensure comparability with 1951 Census Tables. IV. CENSUS DIVISIONS AND ENUMERATION STAFF Census Divisions Ordinary Areas-At the bottom there will be an Enumerator's Block. A block in the rural area will have an approximately population of 750 persons and in the urban area of 600 persons. In the rural area a block should have a whole number ofviIlages or a village should comprise a whole number of blocks. Demarca'tion of blocks in cities and towns of population 50,000 and above is being undertaken by the National Sample Survey and their work is likely to finish by the end of July, 196Q. Demarcation of blocks in smaller towns will be undertaken by the Census Organisa tion. 243 Ablmt half a dozen Enumerators" Blocks will 'form a Supervisor Circle. A number of Supervisor Circles will constitute a Charge. In the rural area a tahsil will form a Charge. Notified and Town Areas with a population of under 10,000 can be included in the Tahsil Charge. Towns with population of 10,000 and above will consist of one or more Charges a.ccording to population. Normally in large towns a Charge should have an approximate popu lation of 1.5 lakhs. If a town is a group each constituent unit will be a separate Charge unless it is too small when it can be included in another Charge. Cantonments, Defence Establishments, Railway Colonies, Forests and Institutions will form special Census Divisions an account of which is given in Chapter V. Enumeration Staff Set-up The head of the enumeration hierarchy in a district is the District Magistrate assisted by the District Census Officer. The District Census Officer is the key person for making all arrange m~nh, e.g. delimitation of territories, preparation of various registers, organisation and training. The District Magistrate will put a gazetted officer in his district &taff incharge of this work Jl.nd designate him as District Census Officer. Below the District Census Officer will be several officers to be designated as Charge Officers. Charge Officers are the principal channel of communication between the District Census Officer, Supervisors and Enumerators. Tn the beginning they will by virtue of their local knowledge assic;t in the appointment of competent Supervisor~ and Enumerators and keep the Census (In a strict Calendar. Under the Charge Officer will be several Supervisors. The Supervisors are an important link in the chain of Census Officers. They will have to master the instructions and rules and explain them to Enumerators. They will also move about in their circles and inspect the Enumerators' work. Below the Supervisor will be half a dozen Enumerators on the average who would do the most important work of Census enumeration. The sUCcess of enumeration depends upon the quality of Enumerators and the training imparted to them. District Officers will have to make use of the staff of almost every department of Government and also of local bodies. In urban areas the services of persons serving in business and mercantile firms may also have to be requisitioned. About b5,OOO Enumerators will be required for the rural areas and about 15,000 for the urban areas. Difficulty might be experienced in the selection of adequate number of Supervisors. It will be a good principle to draw supervisory and enumerating agency from more than one source so that there may be freshness of outlook and the burden of Census may be distributed fairly. Tn the rural areas the Tahsildar will act as the Charge Officer for his Tahsil. He will be assisted by the Naib-Tahsildar v,ho may be designated as Assistant Charge Officer. In the urban areas (not included in the Tahsil Charge) the EJCecutive Officer or the Secretary of the Local Body concerned will act as Charge Officer. In the case of a large local body consisting of several Charges the Execl'tive Officer may be appointed to the main Charge and other senior municipal officers to other Charges. The Sub-Divisional Magistrates and the City Magistrates will act Officers-in-Charge for the Census in their respective jurisdiction. Enumeration Staff for Special Census Divisions will be separate and an account of the same is given in Chapter V. The appointment of Census Officers from the District Census Officer down to the Enumerator is to be made by the State Government under sub-section (3) of section 4 of the Census Act, 1948, but the State Government have delegated this power to: (1) Superintendent of Census Operations, U. P., (2) all District Magistrates and A. D. Ms., (3) all District Census Officers. and (4) all Sub-Divisional Magistrates, under sub-section (4) thereof. All appointments of District Census Officers, Charge Officers, Suoervisors and Enumerators are to be made in writing. 244 V. SPECIAL CENSUS DIVISIONS AND ENUMERATION STAFF (Cantonments, Defence Establishments, Railway Colonies and large Railway Areas, Forests, Institutions, Riverine Tracts, etc.) The Ministry of Defence have issued a circular letter for giving full co-operation to Census Organisation in the Census of Cantonments and Defence Establishments. Civil The Civil area of the Cantonment will form a Charge with the Executive Officer as Charge Area. Officer. The Charge will be divided into Enumeration Blocks and Supervisor Circles and each Block containing 600 household population approximately and each Circle containing five or six Blocks. Supervisors and En'Jmerators will be the employees of the Cantonment Board mostly where the number is not sufficient the District Magistrate can supplement this staff. Defence Each Defence establishment will form a separate Charge, whether within or outside a canton Establish ments. ment, under an Officer of the Military or the Air Force. The Officer Commanding of the Station or his ll'lminee will act as Charge Officer and will have the requisite number of Supervisors and Enumerators working under him. There will be one enl 1merator nearly for every 600 persons to be enumerated and one Supervisor for every five or six enumerators. All Supervisors and Enu merators will belong to the Defence establishment concerned and 110 outsider shall be appointed to carry out enumeration in such areas. The system of numbering in Defence establishments will be acr.erted for Census purposes. If any building, house, etc. does not bear a number the Defence authorities will give it a suitable number. The contents of Chapter VI-House-numbering will not apply to Defence Establishments. For Military border posts Houselists (Chapter IX) need not be prepared and even civilians will be enumerated by the Defence authorities. Railway The Ministry of Railways have also issued a circular for giving full co-operation to the Census Colonies and large Organization. Railway Areas. If a large Railway Station or a Railway Colony situated in the rural area falls wholly in one revenue village it will be treated as a hamlet and if it spreads over several revenue villages it will be treated as a separate Census village. Railway areas include a railway station witllin distant signals, a workshop, or a colony. It does not include an isolated building beyond the distant signals like a gangman's or a gateman's hut. Residents include all persons whether railway employees or not who live there. They do not include those who ordinarily return to their houses outside the railway premises when off duty. A large Railway area or a Railway colony can form a separate Charge by itself. As usual a Block will contain an approximate population of 600 in urban area and of 750 in rural area and a circle will contain five or six Blocks. Except in the case of large Railway areas and Railway Colonies it would be found more convenient by all concerned if the Census of the Railway is taken up by the ordinary staff. Houses in Railway areas and Railway Colonies will be numbered according to the Census Pattern (Chapter VI). Forests Forest Areas outside revenue mauzas will be constituted as separate Charge, Circles or Blocks depending on their size and will be manned by Forest Officers and Forest Staff. If a Forest Area spreads over two or more Tahsils it will be deemed to be so many charges even though one officer may hold all of them. As population inside the forest is usually sparse, an Enumerators' Block will contain far less than the prescribed population. Institu Enumeration of residential Institutions also will depend upon their size. In the case of really tions. large institution the Officer-in-Charg~ or the manager or his nominee may be appointed as Charge Officer. In case of other large institutions he can be made a Census Supervisor and in case of smaller institutions he can be made an Enumerator. Jails, Hospitals, Hotels, Hostels are examples of Institutions where the jailor, the medical officer, the manager or the superintendent can be appointed as Charge Officer or Supervisor. The appointment of Enumerators will he made on his advice. In hotels w.here families reside in separate suites each family will be treated as a separate household. For others the manager will be deemed to be the head of household. 245 In the Household Schedule (Chapter XI) there is a rectangle provided at -the right and top comer for recording whether the household under enumeration is an institution. verine Special arrangements will have to be made for riverine tracts concerning population in boats ICts and teeS of and areas of regular and seasonal migration. - ISOnal ration. VI-HOUSENUMBERING (1) Building, Census House and Census Household-A Building is defined as a separate sa-uc ture on the ground. In thickly popula1ied mohallas there exist numerous habitations in a single row along street separated only by common walls. In such cases a building will be that part of this continuous construction which is in one ownership_ This is also the definition usually adopted by municipalities. . A Census House is a structure or part of a structure, inhabited or vacant, which may be a dwelling, a shop, a shop-cum-dweIling, an office, a . workshop or factory, an institution etc. with a separate main entrance Op)nlng on the road or a common staircase or a common courtyard or gallery. Thus a Building may consist of one or more Census Houses. • A Census Household is a group of persons who commonly live together and 1!ake their meals from a common kit.chen unless exigencies of work prevent anyone of them from doing so_ Hostels, messes, chummeries etc. are also to be treated as households but of unrelated persons. A Census House may contain one or more Census Households. , Buildings will bear continuou s numbers in Arabic numerals e.g. 220. Where a Building consists of one Census House but contains two Households they will be denoted by alphabetical sub numbers e.g_ 221-(Ka), 221-(Kha) etc. Where a Building comhts of two or more Census Houses they will be denoted by numerical sub-numbers e.g. 222-(1), 222-(2) etc. In other words, if a residential Building contains two or more Census H01Jseholds each of which enjoys a separate entrance, then the Building will consist of as many Census Houses as there are Households. If one of these Census Houses viz_ 222-(1) contains two households, they will be dmoted by 222-(IKa) and 222-(1 Kha). A Building will have only one number in Arabic numeral if it is entirely occupied by one household irrespective of the number of entrances opening on the road, common staircasfo, comn:on courtyard or gallery- (2) Mode of Numbering of Houses-House numbering will be done afresh beth in urban and rural areas throughout the State according to the Census pattern except in Defence establishments which will adopt such system as they think fit. Rural-If a village consists of a number of hamlets, each hamlet will be taken up for house numbering separately. If a hamlet is allotted to two Enumerators, it will be divided into two portions and one portion will be taken up before the ()thcr, but housenumbering will be continuous throughout the same irrespective of the portions into which it may be divided. Housenumbering will be done streetwise taking them in a uniform order from north-west to south-east. Experience has shown that it is best to continue one consecutive serial on one side of the Hreet from one end to the other and then cross over and continue the serial on the other side stopping opposite to the number from which it first began. Urban-In Cities and Towns the number will have to respect the axis of the street and not any pre-conceived, geographic direction like north-west. Numbering will be done along well defined streets, roads and lanes, wardwise or mohallawise according to the running local custom_ The order of numbers will also follow the local body custom. An Enumerator will have several serials depending upon the number of sides in his multi-lateral block. General-If a new hut or building is put up between the completion of house-numbering and enumeration, it should be given a new number beyond the last number of the serial for the village or hamlet/ward or mohalla or locality. This will facilitate verification by Supenisors_ 246 (3) -Period of Housenumbering-In the rural area housenumbering can be taken up durirg the latter half of October, 1960 after the Dewali. In urban areas it will have to be started earlier depending on the size of the town concerned. Housenumbering in rural areas should finish by the end of October, 1960 and in urban areas by October 15, 1960, to leave some margin for training in Houselisting. (4) Material Jor Housenumbering-In urban areas it would be best if municipalities or local bodies could b~ persuaded to put up permanent number plates giving Census housenurnbers at their own expense. Where it is not possible, temporary housenumbering may be done with geru-oil mixture. (5) Maintenance of Housenumbering-Where municipalities or local bodies agree to pu~ up number plates, as suggested above Housenumbers will be permanently maintained. Where tem porary Housenumbers are put uP. the only method of maintenance is the preservation of House lists together with the sketch map of the village or a well define d palt of a!l . urban area delineating the seluence of housenumbering showing where it begins and where it ends. The H )Useli'lt'l are dealt with in Chapter IX. VII-LOCATION CODE (1) Eiements oj Location Code-By giving a code number to a District, another to a Tahsil or Town, a third to a Village/Ward or Locality and a fourth to a Census House it beccmes at once easy to locate the Census House with reference to these code numbers which are called the elements of the Location Code. First Element 1. District Number---:-All Di,tricts will be allotted Code numbers from 1 to 5'1. This Code number will be the same throughout a District both for rural and urban areas. Second and Third E~ements 2. Urban-The second el;:ment will consist of the serial number of the Town within the Dis trict denoted by a Roman numeral. If a Town is an agglomeration, each unit VliI1 be denoted by a sub-number in Arabic numeral separated by a hyphen. 3. The third element will denote the serial number of the Ward or Mohalla qr Locality within the Town. 2. Rural-The second element will denote the serial number of the Tahsil in the District. 3. The third el !ment will denote the serial number of the Village within the Tahsil. If a village consisB of s3veral ham! ~ts. all hamkts including the main village will be given numerical sub-numbers within brackets. If a large Railway Station or a factory lies wholly in one revenue village it will be treated as a separate hamlet and if it spreads over several reveRt.e villages it will be treate d as a separate Census Village. . Fourth Element 4. The fourth element will consist of the Housenumber (building, census housf', a household no.) which may be a composite number. ' The fourth element of the Location Code are to be written in one line supported by obJiql'e strokes. (2) Order of Numbering-Commissioners' Divisions will be taken one by one from north west to south-east of the State and on each Division the Districts will be taken up in that order. Code Numbers to Districts will be allotted by the Superintendent of Census Operations. Tahsilv and Villages-Tahsils within a district are to be numbered from north-west to south"7 east. A District containing five Tahsils will have Code numbers 1 to 5 for the tahsils. ViJIages within a Tahsil are to be numbered in such a way that north-westernmost is given No. 1 and south-"ast~rnmost is given the hst number. All villages of one Development Block should be finhhed before t:l.king up those of another. In a D~velopment Block villages of one Nyaya Panchayat Circle should be finhhed before t~k.ing up those of another. Numbering of all villages within a Tahsil will be continuous. 247 Towns, Wards. etc.-R.oman numerals will be allotted to all Cities and Towns, taking up TQwn grQUps first and Qth.er TQwns next. Th.e units .of T.own groups will be arranged in order .of their 1951 population. Other Towns tOQ will be numbered in order of their 1951 population. All Towns will be given Code numbers in RQman numerals. Where Wards .or Localities have been assigned numbers by local bodies, they will be numbered in that serial, but where nQ numbers exist but only names then the north-westernmost ward or locality should be allotted the number .one and south.easternmost the last. EX(lUJples-A rural dwelling will have a Location Code like this : 20j4/24(2)/4-(IA) Where 20 is the code number .of the Distdct, 4 is the Code number of Tahsil within the District, 24 is the serial number of the village in the district and sub-number (2) is the serial number .of the hamlet. and 4-(IA) is the composite Housenumber. An urban dwelling will have a Location Code like this lO/lV-1/1A14-(lA) Where 20 is the Code number .of the District, IV is the cede number of the TQwn Group in the district, sub-number 1 is the serial number of the local bcdy in the T.own Group, 24 is the serial number of the Ward or Locality and 4-(IA) is the composite Housenumber. Code numbers to Tahsils, Villages including hamlets, Towns and Wards will be given by the District Magistrates and reported toO Census Headquarters in triplicate. VIII-TRAINING TO DISTRICT STAFF, DISTRIBUTION OF CENSUS FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO FIELD -STAFF AND TRAINING SAMPLE CENSUS (1) Training of D. C. O.'s, S. D. 0.'8 and Cbarge Officers District Census Officers, S. D. Os., Tahsildars and Senior Municipal Officers will be initiated in Census work during the period NQvember, 1959 toO July, 1960 by the Census Superintendent, and Deputy Census Superintendents, during their tours. District Census Officer will give training to Officers-in-charge and Charge Officers in the first fortnight of August, 1960. (2) Training to Field Staff , This training will be given by Charge Officers in suitable batches. It should be the aim of each S. D. M. and Tahsildar to take at least three sessions of each class. In the rural area training to Supervisors and Enumerators in House numbering and House listing will be imparted between September 1, 1960 and October 15, 1960. Each batch will consist of about 50 persons and will receive three days training including a practical demonstration. Housenumbering Instructions, Houselist forms and Houselisting Instructions will be is~ued during this period. In the urban area this training will be split up. Training in Housenumbering will be imparted to the House numbering staff before August, 31 1960. It may be given in suitable batches, each batch receiving two days' training with a practical demonstration. Housenumbering Instructions to the staff will be issued during this period.' Training to Supervisors and Enumerators (including Assistant Enumerators in Houselisting Operations in Enumeration Blocks containing numerQUS non-residential houses) in Houselisting will be given between October 16, 1960 and OctQber 31, 1960 in suitable batches as above after the Housenumbering is over and will include a practical demonstration. Distribution of Houselist forms and Houselisting Instructions will be made. durin!: this period. . - An intensive training in Enumeration both in urban and rural areas will be given between December 8, 1960 and January 31, 1961 to Supervisors and Enumerators in suitable batches, each getting six days training in two instalments-one in December, 1960 and the other in January. 1961. Some domestic practice in filling Household Schedules and Individual Slips will be given in the first instalment of training. During the interval there will be a practical training in the form of Training Sample Census. DistributiQn of Household Schedules, Individual Slips, etc. will be made during the first instalment of the intensive training. 248 In order to gIve practical training to Supervisors and Enumerators in Enumeration a Training Sample Census will be conducted by each batch between the two instalments of intensive training in Enumeration. Each Enumerator will be given five Household Schedules and 25 Individual Slips for the purpose. These will be printed in red ink.

This will give an idea of the extent to which the Enumerators and their Supervisors have grasped the Instructions. Charge Officers on discovering the nature of ¢rrors will take immediate steps to bring them home to Supen-isors and Enumerators. lX-HOUSEI,.ISTING Houselists will be prepared in duplicate.

XII-HOUSELESS POPULATION For houseless population living on streets etc., it would be best to devote three nights where there is large houseless population, from February 20 to 28, 1961. In other places the night of February 2~ should be enough. Police help should be restricted to the minimum but help of Social Welfare Organisations can be taken. Adequate publicity should be given before hand that the enumeration has nothing to do with any police round up. Special Enumerators will be appointed for this purpose where such popUlation is large. In other places the ordinary Enumeration can do this work. They should draw up a rough list of likely places where houseless persons congregate at night and the approximate number to be found at each place. This can be checked before hand by Supervisor. In the Location Code house number cannot be obviously be given. For housenumber an X may be put or 'Beghar' may be written. Care is to be taken that an inmate of a house found sleeping outside is not counted among the houseless. XIII-PROVISIONAL TOTALS Census Count will be over 011 March 5, 1961. It is intended to publish provisional totals at AU-India level by the middle of March, 1961. All possible steps have to be taken for quick com munication of primary totals at various levels.

District Officers will encourage editorials and occasional notes in the local newspapers. XVII-MAPS Maps are very important for Enumeration. Census Superintendent is arranging for four copies of printed map of each tahsil in the scale 1/1 = 1 mile. Maps of tahsils of which printed copies are not available will have to be prepared locally, five copies of each. One copy will be retained in the tahsil. On these maps village boundaries, enumertion blocks, supervisor circles and charges will be shown. Besides these all important landmarks, Railway lines, roads, rivers and canals will be shown in them. A list of fairs and markets will also be appended to each map if the same is not already printed thereon. Notional maps of cities and towns approximately on the scale of 8"=1 mile will be pre pared giving an indication of Enumeration Blocks even if the Blocks have to be noted on the map' with the help of numbers. They will also show Wards, Charges, Circles and important 1andmarks like main administration or public buildings, famous temples or other public. places. They would also indicate which areas are comparatively prosperous and in what direction the City or Town is extending. A sketch map in duplicate of the village or part of urban area delineating the sequence of housenumbering showing where it begins and ends will also be prepared by each Enumerator for being stitched to the Houselist as a step towards permanent maintenance of Housenumbers. 255 CENSUS .

Subject : Census of India 1961-EnumeratioD of Special Population-Houseless Population Population in Riverine Tracts-Seasonal Migratory Population-Fairs and MeIss durine tbe Period of Census Count. SIR, I have the honour to state that the following principle will be observed in the enumeration of houseless population, population living in boats, population migrating from one place to another in a particular season and returning to its usual abode on completion thereof, and population stay ing in fairs and melas during the period of Census Count. 1. Houseless Population-Enumeration of houseless population in those parts of urban areas which have considerable population of the type will be done by special enumerators, who will be drawn (rom the same personnel from which ordinary enumerators are recruited. They can, however, be'drawn from the official or non-official, social welfare or public welfare organisations, if necessary. A specIal enumeration block will have an estimated population of not more than 100 houseless persons and shall cover a whole number of ordinary enumeration blocks. In such areas the ordinary enumerators should be warned not to carry out enumeration of houseless population in their blocks. In those areas of cities and towns to which special enumerators have not been appointed enumera tion of houseless popUlation will be done by ordinary enumerators. The enumeration of the houseless population will commence both in the case of special enumerators and ordinary enu merators from the night of February 26 and finish on the night of February 28, 1961, but where houseless population is small, the work can be finished in one night only, i.e. the night of February 28. This will be followed by a revisional round on the night of March 1, 1961, to check up omis sions or mistakes and rectify the same. No police help should be taken in enumerating the house less population as it is likely to frigthten the people and adversely affect the Census but the enumera tors should contact the police and other organisations in advance to acquire knowledge of places where such people congregate at_nights. Help of social and public welfare organisations should be freely sought in the enumeration of such population. No houseless population should be left out nor should any person found sleeping outside his house on the nights of enumeration be enumerated as houseless. Houseless population will generally be found sleeping on streets, paven;tents and open grounds, such as parks, etc. The house number, which forms the fourth element of the location code, will not be filled in the individual slips and the household schedules of houeless persons since no house exists and only the first three elements of the location code will be :filled in. An X will be put in the place meant for the house number in the Location Code in case of such persons. It should be clearly understood by enu merators that a person will not be deemed to be houeless if he is living in hut or a hotel or in a portion (Jf some one else's kothari, verandah, etc. 25'S No spe Yours faithfully, P.

BHATNAGAR, LA.S., SUPERINTENDENT OF CENSUS OPERATIONS, UTTAR PRADESH. To ALL DISTRICT OFFICERS, UTTAR PRADESH. Subject: HOllsenurnbering and HouseUsting in Areas affected by Floods in October, 1960. SIR, I JIave the henour to say that due to floods affecting some districts in the month of Octo ber, 1960, many houses have gone out of existence and new ones will come up in due course, which will necessitate re-numbering. 2. According to the Census Calendar Housenumbering in urban areas should have finished by October 15 and in rural areas should finish by October 31, 1960. HouseIisting operations in all areas are to commence on November 1 and conclude on or before November 21. In areas affected by the October floods it may become t;tecessary to amend the programme. It is suggested that in such areas Housenumbering and Houselisting may be done simultaneously so that both operations conclude on November 21, 1960. 3.

Subject: House811mbering i8 Flood-hit Aeras SIR, I have the honour to state that some villages and localities have been badly hit by floods in O~tol)er, 1960, resulting in temporary uprooting of affected population. There might be numerous people taking refuge in groves and other shelters whose houses have gone out of existence and there is no likelihood of their being rebuilt before the completion of Houselisting. Where temporary huts or tents have been put up and are found to exist at the time of Housenumbering and House listing (which will be a combined operation in such areas) such temporary structures can be treated as Census houses and be numbered accordingly, but as these temporary structures will not remain at the time of Enumeration the most in-expensive material should be used for putting the house numbers. Even a small piece of waste paper with the number written thereon and stuck to the temporary structure may be deemed to serve the purpose. A note should be made in the Remarks Column of the Houselist that the households concerned would shift before Enumeration ( ~ ~ ~ "'" 'Air.f 1i'Q~-abbreviation "o..r~ ~To '1'0 ). But where people have settled in a grove or some other open place a Census number should be given to the grove or the open place and a similar remark should be made in the Remarks Column. Ordinarily houseless population is not recorded in the Houselist at all but since this population will not remain houseless at the time of Enumeration it should be recorded. 2, In such areas re-chec~ of Housenumbering will not commence from 1st February, 1961 as in other areas but from 28th January, 1961. Newly built houses will be numbered in the manner already indicated for houses which come up after House listing but before Enumeration. 3.

DEAR SIR, ALL the effort which has been made so far for the 1961 Census will begin to bear fruit from February 10 when Enumeration starts. I have no doubt that you and your officers will give your best to the success of the Census and no pains will be spared. 2. During the period of Census Count, including Revisional Round, which will come to a close on March 5, 1961, the District Census Officer, the Sub-Divisional Magistrates and the Charge Officers will see that the work is going on correctly and smoothly and there are no administrative hold-ups. Provisional District Totals require to be wired to me and the Registrar General, India, New Delhi, by March 9, 1961. 3. I take this opportunity of thanking you and your staff for sparing your time in the face of multifarious dut~es for the Census. Yours sincerely, P. P. BHATNAGAR.

BHATNAGAR, I.A.S., SUPERINTENDENT OF CBNSUS OPERATIONS, UTTAR PRADESH. To ALL DISTRICT OFFICERS, UTTAR PRADESH. Subject: Census of India, 1961-Enomeration SIR, I have the honour to request you to impress upon all Charge Officers that Census is not merely to be held but should also appear to be held. To achieve this end, enumeration of members of households of important persons should, as far as possible, be done in the presence of such persons themseh~es alad nat in their absence. If people like members of Pat"liament and Legis lature, local leaders of political parties, weU known educationists, industrialists, business men, lawyers, doctors and high Government 01fice1's are interviewed by Enumerators and information about members of their households is elicited from them, it will create the desired Census atmos phere. Otherwise Census will pass by unnoticed and people will wonder from where the figures have come. This might lead the general public to doubt the accuracy of the work done by Enu merators and Supervisors which would not be fair to them as they have been busy at it for such a length of time. 2. Spare copies for the use of Charge Officers are sent. Yours faithfully, P. P. BHATNAGAR, Superintendent of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh.
