Preface
With the passage of time, census taking has become progressively more massive and gigantic. More manpower Is required, more Instruction booklets and schedules have to be printed. The 1991 census can be said and will be remembered as the biggest administrative exercise of the twentieth century. Though a central subJect, census taking Is done by the state government through their district administrations, Co operation of the State Government In this regard has been enthusiastic and excellent.

The A-serles tables display data on area, houses and populatloni·decadal variation In population since 1901 i villages classified by populatloni towns and urban agglomerations classified by population and standard urban area. Tables A-1, A-2 and A-4 are followed by statements and appendices and Table A-3, by statem(mts only, while Table A-S has neither statement nor appendix. Essentially both the statements and appendices show changl!S In the area, number of towns, population, etc. during the decades from 1901 to 1991 and 1981 and 1991- In Part II-B, the Primary Census Abstract for the General Population, the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribe population separately are presented.
