To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sift ed and compiled, the District Census Handbook has been divided into three -parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises Non-census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G.A.D. (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I ..am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-opera tion in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements made by, Sri A. Dar, Superintedent, Printing and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thank fully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri J. S. Gupta, lie New Government Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Shri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquapters, -the Tabulation Officer, and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bringing out these Handbooks.

Uttar Pradesh. ~RODUCTORY NOTE 1. History of District Census Handbook. It has bec:n customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A lis' "Showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att empts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition -to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and ameni ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Cen sus and Non-census statistics at village/town level in a uniform maDDer with an enlarged scope. As the Distl'lct Census Handbook makes Census statistics a'/ailable for the smaller territotlal units, It IS constantly referred to for several purposes of admimstration, demar- cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statIStiCS are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being published separately into three parts : Part A : Town and Village Directory. Part B: Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract. POO't C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-O~rt Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Censu.s Haudbook. Part A of the Handbook comprISes the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particulars of amenitLes in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinklDg water supply, Post apd T(:legraph and Communications have been given. BeSIdes, It Con- .tains land-use sta.tistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, hlStoncal or archa eological mterest in each village. The Town Directory comprismg seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of popUlation, functional category, location and physical aspects, MUDlClpal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facihties and ~tatistics' pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of a town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represets data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Ab~tract whIch' incorporates figures of area, number of .ccupied residential houses and households, 'tdtal popUlation and its- break-up by sex. ( iv scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population by nine broad industrial categones of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and live stock etc. in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, 10 construction, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in other services as well as the non working population. Part C deals with the administrative statistics pertammg to the district in all fields of development. The Census tables pertaining to language, religion mIgration and economic 'actiVIties are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes in socio economic and demographic characteristics of tbe district during the last decade is also being included in It. 3. Town Directory.-Glven 10 Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly accepted definition of a tow!l. The historical, pOhtical, cultural and admmistrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural-urban classification. An urban area, in c~)Utradlstmction to the rural, comprises a large majority of mhabitallts who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities. In addition to its size, populatIon and occupational characteristics, an urban area provides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, community facilities and other CIVIC serVIces. According t,o the State Government, all Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered as towns, and according to theIr average annual income from their own resources, these have been classi fied into different clas,es of local bodIes. The Unteria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following condItions h::we been treated as Towns ;- 1. All Municipal Corporations) Municipal Boards, Cantonments ~ Notified Areas. 2. All localities though not in themselves local' bodies but forming part of a CIty oJ.! town agglomeration. S. Other places satisfying all the three under mentioned conditions ; (i) Population exceeds 5,000. (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engages in non-agricultural pursuits, and (iii) The density of population exceeds i,OOO persons per Sq. mile (S86 persons per Sq. km.) The information given in the Town Directory relates to the year 1969. The data has been presented 10 the following seven statements: (a) Statement I-This statement presents the popUlation of the towns at the end of each decade from 1901, to 1971, the Civic status of the towns and their functional cate gories at 1961 and 1971 Censuses.
