To the common man it is a mere counting of heads. From this simple standpoint also, census of this 45-district State covering the largest land-area of India is quite a formidable task. Thanks to the efficiency and sagacity of the State Admi nistration, the task of counting a little less than 52.2 million people of this far-fiung State has been done as smoothely as it could be. Immense thanks are due to the humble primary school teachers and the king-pin of the revenue machinery-the patwari. Census of Inaia collects its data 011 the basis of three or four very simple forms and schedules and on the basis of minimum-necessary and elementary questions. However, these simple forms contalil such a massive data that even a primary editing and basic compilation requires nearly 5,80,000 mandays. This was made possible by my colleagues-the Regional Deputy Directors and the fixed pay extra-temporary staff. I am grateful to Sarvshri R. C. Sharma (Gwalior), A. N. Tiwari (Rewa), S. S. Wankhade (Ujjain), B.K. Banerjee (Sagar), M.e. Shah (Indore), S.M. Rastogi (Bhopal), S.N. Tiwari (Jabalpur), U. D. Mishra (Bilaspur) and B. P. Chandak (Raipur) for having completed the basic edit and compilation of the Primary Census Abstract. It is they who faced the main brunt of tabulation. They came, they saw and they conquered a11d then left as quietly as they had come. To that ex tent census yet remains a phoenix. At the headquarters the load of the massive data was shared by Shri M. L. Sharma, Deputy Director of Census Operations and Shn M. G. Mohril, Assistant Director of Census Operations. I am grateful to them as also to the devoted team of Tabulation officers and Statistical Assistants working with them. It would neither be possible nor proper to name only a few for tabulation is like many wheels working together as one unit only to produce the result in a strictly time-limited operation. The present volume-Part II-B-contains the Primary Census Abs tract upto tahsil and town level. In 196 I and 1971 one volume Part II-A contained both the A-Series tables as well as the Primary Census Abstract upto tahsil-town level. This old Part II-A is now split up into two volumes Part II-A which contains only A-series tables and Part II-B, the present volume, which contains the Primary Census Abstract. Looking to the demand of the data users, Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes and Sche duled Tribes is also being given upto district level only. Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes Primary Census Abstract down upto tahsil and town level is being published as a separate paper as Paper 1 of 1982. The various concepts used in the Census e.g., Census house, house hold industry, workers, marginal workers and so on have been explained in the General Note given hereafter. Also contained in this section is a brief analysis of the figures. It is hoped that data users will find this basic document of Census of our state useful for their purpose, and their appreciation of it will surely be enough compensation and reward for the hard labour which has gone into the compilation of this volume.
