The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formu lation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration, The district census hand. book is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The d;strict census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and FeA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative stati~tics, census tables and a village and town directory. including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA 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 designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same tIme, comparability with the 1971 da.a has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenicy is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of developme.lt. A· few new items of in~ormation have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres, and community health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the villages in the district which are inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of househ.olds" has been introduced to ex'amine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made wl,h t;.js view in mind. VIII The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the.Minimum,Needs Programme by. providing information on a f~w new items. A new, statement on civic and other amenities in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) bas been introduced with this objective in ~ind.
