Scheduled Castes primary Census Abstract (Tahsil and Townwise). 266 FOREWORD· The district census hand boo k (DCH), compil.:d by the Census Organisa tion on behaif 0 t the State Go vernmentl isone of the most 'laluable productsofthe census. The DCH·isconstantly referred to by planners, adnrifiiatr&,tor •• 'academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation oflocal1eveland regional plana and'as an. aio to district administration. The District Census Handbook is the only pUblication which provides Primary C!nsus Abstract (POA) data upto village level for the rural areai and wardwise for each city or toyn. It also provides data on infralttructure and amenities in villagts and towns,etc. The District Census Handbook series was initiated during the 1951 census. It contained limportant cenaui tables and POA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 census the scope of the DOH was enlaracd and it contaifl(,d a descriptive acCount of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and t01m directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A relakd to village and tOYll directory, Part-B to villase and town peA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on peA and amenitY,data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While desig;ling the format of 1981 DOH series, some new features, alongwith the restructuringoHhe formats ohillagcand town directory have b.!en attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data hasalso been kept in view. All the am;nities eXc.!pt p:>w.':t supply ill the village ha Ve b~en brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place Wllere theam~nity isav,;tilable mlybcgivcn. Tile restructuring of the formatoftbe villagedirec- tory and incorp;)rating mJre exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land use pattern is expected to fUrther meet tho:: need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only local area planning but regulatin& the provision of g00dsand services as wdlas to minimise the regional imbalances inthe p;JC~SS ClfJ.ev"bprn!llt. A few u;w it0mwf infJtIUltiJn hav~ also b..:en introduced to m.!et some ofthe require m!nts of the R}vi3!d MillimJIU N ;eds P.0it'am;n:.

Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities arc available and according to the proportion of schedul.d I:astes and sC:ledulcd tribes p,>plliation to the total population hasalso b.~en made with this view in mind.
