I n fact, the publ ications brought out in connection with the earlier censuses contained veritable mines of information on racial, cultural, linguistic and a number of other aspects of life of the people of this country. With the advent of freedom, however, the scope and dimension of these special studies had to be restructured in a manner that would provide the basic feedbacks on the processes of development taking place in different spheres of life of the people especially undor planned developmenl. Thus, in connection with the 1961 Census, a massive programme was launched inter-alia to conduct socio-economic survey of about 500 villages selected from different parts ot the country. The main objective of this study was to know the way of life of the people living in Indian villages which accounted for 82 per cent of the total population as per the 1961 Census. There was, however, an imperative need to extend the area of the study to urban centres as well, to provide a complete coverage of the people living in diverse socio-economic conditions. It was with this objective in view ancillary studies on towns were launched as part of the social studies programme in connection with the 1971 Census. The programme of social studies taken up in connection with the 1971 Census, was continued without any major change at the 1981 Census as well. A study on traditional rural based handicrafts was, however, added as a new item under the social study projects of the 1981 Census. For the conduct of urban study, 64 small and medium towns were selected from different parts ot the country following the criteria such as (a) size, (b) demographic features, (c) functional characteristics, (d) specific industry or occupation dominating the economy, (e) location, (f) concentration of different castes and communities, and (g) other social and cultural phenomenon like temple town, health resort etc. The research design, tools for data collection and formats for data tabulation and report writing required for urban studies were originally formulated by Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, the then Deputy Registrar General, Social Studies Division. His successor, Dr. N.G. Nag took considerable pains to revise all the formats to make them more comprehensive. Dr. K.P. Ittaman, the present Deputy Registrar General heading Social Studies Division, coordinated these studies at different levels as well as rendered necessary guidance to the Directorates of Census Operations for their successful consummation.

  • Magic of the Spices: Elements of Magic Realism in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’S the Mistress of Spices
    (RJELAL) Research Journal of English Language and Literature Vol.4.Issue 2.2016 A Peer Reviewed (Refereed) International Journal (Apr-Jun) http://www.rjelal.com; Email:[email protected] RESEARCH ARTICLE MAGIC OF THE SPICES: ELEMENTS OF MAGIC REALISM IN CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI’S THE MISTRESS OF SPICES Dr. V. SRIVIDHYA1, S. JAYASHREE AGARWAL2 1Assistant Professor of English, National College (Autonomous), Tiruchirappalli 2Assistant Professor of English, Cauvery College for Women, Tiruchirappalli ABSTRACT In this present technologically superfast world, where the click of buttons is changing the way people think, plan and execute their works and live their lives, “virtual reality”, “surrealism”, “hyper reality” are the terms in vogue. They are so commonly used everywhere that they may not seem fanciful any more. However, the excitement in superstitions, magic and mysticism still prevails. India has always caught the imagination of foreigners as the land of hidden secrets – S. JAYASHREE AGARWAL it is viewed as a “hub of cosmic energy” and emerging super power. The secret of Ayurvedas, the variety and depth in art forms like dance and music are equally attractive as Kamasutra and Yoga. The co-existence of various religions, cultures, languages has always been a source of amazement. The festivities, the rituals and the mythological significances keep the attraction alive. Historically significant monuments, the architecture and the cuisine tops the ranking of our country across the globe. In such a context the novel by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, The Mistress of Spices (1997), is a delightful read which bombards the senses and tingles the appetite with its exotic use of spices.

During this period, the TISS developed baseline data on social, demographic, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of individuals, families and communities in 33 villages in Akkalkuwa and Akrani tehsils of Dhule (now Nandurbar) district, and tracked changes in the habitat and life conditions of people shifted from Manibeli, Dhankhedi, and Chimalkhedi villages to Parveta (one of the earliest resettlement sites in Gujarat). While TISS moved out of its monitoring and evaluation role in 1994, it continued to track the progress made on various aspects of the SSP.
