It has been the policy of the Government of Madras to print and publish village statistics based on the information collected during each Census. In 1951, the Government of India offered to hand over to the State Government the Census Tables and abstracts prepared during Census and suggested that they might be printed and published along with any other useful information relating to each district. The form of the District Census Handbook was thus conceived. The State Government accepted the idea and a publication was brought out at the cost of the State Government. Each District Census Handbook consisted of two parts-Part I containing three sections, viz., General PopUlation Tables, Economic Tables, Tables I, II and III of Small-Scal~ Industries, Summary figures of district and taluks, rural and urban statistics and Part II containing C and D Series, viz., Household and Age Tables and Social and Cultural Tables and District Occupational Abstract.
A District Census Handbook was published for each district. It has been considered an important achievement of the last Census. Sri A. Mitra, Registrar General, India, decided not only to. continue the series during 1961, but to improve definitely on its content, so that each District Census Handbook would contain basic economic data for the smallest administrative unit in the district and be a useful reference book for scholars, Central and State Governments, Local Bodies and private institutions. The proposal of widening the scope of the Census Hand book was accepted by the State Gov\?rnment in their G. O. Ms. No. 154 Public (Elections II) dated the 31st January 1961. It was also decided to publish it at the cost of the State Government. The first District Census Handbook which we published was on Coimbatore. The present Volume which is the ninth in the series is on North Arcot. The first volume contains an introductory essay on all important aspects of the district, physical features, history, people and their social condition, agriculture, industries, public health, education, irrigation, electricity and other allied topics. It contains "A" Series Tables, "B" Series, "C" Series, SeT for each taluk, SC I, ST I and II and a list of fairs and festivals in the district. Seventy-two statements of administrative statistics classified under seven sections have been included in the second volume of this District Census Handbook.
1. Agriculture and Irrigation 2. Industry and Labour 3. Education 4. Public Health 5. Law and Order 6. Communications 7. Miscellaneous
A new feature of the District Census Handbook is the Village Directory which replaced the rural statistics included in the previous Census series. An abstract giving a complete list of all villages and towns in each taluk in the district along with the distribution of popUlation by sex and various categories of workers has been added. It also gives an account of the basic amenities available in each village such as educational, medical, irrigation ai, posts and telegraphs, communication and electrification. A villagewise list of industries classified according to the ii
Indian Standard Industrial Classification Code and the total number of units in the different types of industry for each village, an alphabetical list of villages along with their corresponding Census location code number and a statement showing the type of soil and type of terrain, sources of irrigation, important wet and dry crops and value of such lands will also be found in the second volume. The second volume of this book contains maps of each taluk in the district and in addition the following interesting items: 1. Gazetteer of place names; 2. Calendar of outstanding occurrences that have influenced the district. It has been also my endeavour to include in this volume all items of information collected by the Census Organisation in the course of special studies undertaken during 1961 Census. Though the publication will be issued by the Government of Madras, the views expressed in the volume are personal and do not bind the Government. This volume containing a variety of information relating to North Arcot district will, I hope, be useful to the general public. In keeping with the policy of the Government to make Tamil the language of administra tion, the Government of Madras have decided to issue an abridged edition of District Census Handbook in Tamil. This abridgement will be done by the State Government, but they have kindly agreed to show it to me for comments before publication. In preparing this volume, I have been assisted by a large number of my staff.' Special mention should be made of Sri K. C. Narayana Kurup, my Deputy Superintendent, who has assisted me in compiling and test-checkin~ the material pieced together jn this volume. I am also grateful to Sri Asok Mitra, I.C.S., Census Commissioner of India for having made it possible to conceive of a volume like this for publication in connection with the 1961 Census.

This indicates that the way the Influenza epidemic of 1917-1918 when com pace of urbanization in the district was most rapid pared to other districts. The percentage increase in only in that decade. population during the last decade, 1951-1961 was 8'5%. It will be useful to analyse the changes in the Birth and death data: To get a more correct urban and rural population also_ It may be seen from appraisal of the dynamics of population, it would be the Table that the variation percentages arc higher in profitable to look to the birth and death statistics.

Ryotwarl Ryotwari Roytwari settlement means the division of all arable land, whether cultivated or not into fields and the fixing of assessment of each field at a fixed rate for a term of years. The occupant pays the revenue so assessed on the area he actually occupies. This area may be constant or may vary from year to year with the relinquishment of old fields, and the taking up of new ones. The occupant deals directly with the Government and is responsible only for bis own holding. He is given a document called a Patta, which sets forth the extent and assessment of each survey field or portion of a field in his occupation. This Patta is liable to revision every year to bring it up-to-date. The occupant thus enjoys all the advantages of Proprietorship, subject only to the payment of the revenue due on the lands held during the year. The ryotwari lands are also known as 'the taraf lands,' the' Ayan,' 'Sircar,' 'Koru,' or Government lands . .. PaHa Registered holder When a ryot is first put into possession of land he is furnished with a of land document called the Patta which is liable to revision at each annual settlement, called Jamabandi. The Patta is only a mere bili issued to the ryot so that all concerned may know the amount of assessment payable and the instalments by which it is to be paid. It does not purport to· be in the nature of a grant or conveyance. A registered pattadar can alienate, sublet, mortgage, sell, give, bequeath or otherwise dispose of the whole or any portion of his holding. This is under ryotwari tenure. In Estates (i.e.,) where the Zamindari tenure is in existence, a ryot with permanent right of occupation and a ryot of old waste holdings under a land holder otherwise than under lease iu writing are entitled to demand Patta under the Estates tand Act. 3. Jaair Inam Assianment or .. A tenure common under Muhammadan Government, by which the revenues Government of a certain tract of land were made over to a servant of the State either grant Inam unconditionally or on the condition of performing some public services, as the levy and the maintenance of troops or other specified duty. During the early period of British rule it was also the practice to confer Jagin as rewards for meritorious services to the State". (N. T. Blair. Inam Commissioner in 1869.) 4. Maniyam Inam land The word 'Manyam,' is vernacular for Inam. The word 'Inam' literally means a gift. The tern inam is an Arabic word. The word 'Inam' or 'Manyam " denotes 'land held either at low assessment or altogether free. in consideration of services done to the State or the community as in the case of village servants. (Land Tenure·B. Soundararaja Iyengar). Wilson's Glossary gives the meaning of the term thus. 'In India, and. especially in the South and among the Maharattas the Inam or Manyam was especially applied to the grants of land held rent free and in hereditary and perpetual occupations'. (Moores Indian Appeal P. 128). The term Inam came to be generally applied to all Government grants to denote grant in perpetuity not resumable. 235 Selected local rights in North Arcot District (coneld.)

The origin of the Inam tenure Can be traced to the grants made by the Hindu rulers for the support of the temples and charitable institutions for the maintenance of pious and learned men and as rewards for publ~c service etc. This practice was followed by the Muhammadan rulers and by. the British administrators until about a century ago. (From the Statement of Objects and Reasons to Bill 1934.)" 1he Inams may be classified (1) Public or Private (2) Individual or collective (3) Religious or secular (4) for past services or continuing services according to their nature, object and aim. 5.
