The District Census Handbook (DCH), compiled by the Census Organization on behalf of the State Government is one of the most valuable products of the Census. The DCR is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituenc~es, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to district administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas ward-wise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. j The district census handbook series was initiated during' the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA 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 statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including peA. 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 an~lytical report, administrative sta tistics, 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 nCH series some new features along with the restruct uring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All tp.e amenities except power supply in the village have been brought together in'the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity 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 la~d-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 as to minimise the regional imbalan- "- ces in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements 0 f the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of infor~ation as adult literacy centres primary health subcentres, 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 households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of house holds 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 with this view in mind.
The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information ·on a few new items. A new state ment on civic and other amenities in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to iv civic and other amenities and adult literacy claslles/centres under educational facilities in state ment V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town director)",. The,infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition ef the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves. this purpose.
The format of the primary' ce~sus'abstract for the'villages and towns. has. been formulated in the light 'Of, changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of,'l.981 Census.
In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series it has been.so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town .directory and Part-B, the PGA of villages. and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Tahsil/Town levels.. At the beginning of,the DCR a detailed analytical natO' supported by a number of inset tables. based on-.peA and non-c.ensus .. data.in relation to the infrastrucHue -has been introduced to enhance its value. The -Distr,ict and Tahsil/Police StationYCD Block etc. level maps depicting thetboUndai'ies and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places{to further enhance the value of the" publication;'
This publication is a joint venture of the State.Government and the.Census Organization~ The data have been collected and compiled in the. State under the direction of Sri Ravindra Gupta, the Director of Census Operation, U. P. on behalf of the State Government which has. borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr, N. G. Nag_''Oepu-ty Registrar General '(So'cial Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K: Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map)'provided'·the technical guidance in the prepa ration ofthe-inaps. Data received from Census Directorates'have been s.crutin'ised in the Social Studies DIvision at-the headquarters under the guidance of Sri M. M. Dua. Senior Research Officer. I am thahkful to all who have contributed in this project.
P. PADMANABHA Registrar General" India New Delhi The 26th April, 1982. PREFACE
The micro level data are of a distinct importance in a welfare democratic set-up. They are needed for running democratic institutions, district level planning and district administration besides catering to the assorted needs of researchers, scholars and common man. By presenting census data down to the level of villages, the District Census Handbook series occupies a place of prominence in the galaxy of census publications. The need for small domain data always prompted publication of village figures in some form or the other in most of the censuses. Yet it was only in 1951 census that the publication of village statistics acquired the well deserved importance by the introduction of District Census Handbook series. These volumes have been published with unbroken regularity in Uttar Pradesh State since 1951 census by the Census Organization on behalf of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The District Census Handbook wa.s brought out for each District in two volumes in 1951/1961, three volumes in 1971 and is being brought out in two volumes part A and Part B in 1981. With the introduction of this series, it developed into a healthy tradition to collect village-wise information on amenities and infrastructure, taking advantage of the massive census operation and publish it in the form of village and town directories in volume A of the District Census Handbook. Part 'A' volume, in keeping with the tradition, consists of village and town directories, giving basic information relating to infra-structure and amenities and total population of each village and town as thrown up by the 1981 Census. The part B volume presents primary census d~ta for each village and town giving total popUlation with scheduled caste/scheduled tribe, literates, main workers by main category marginal workers and non-workers break up. The District Census Handbook part A and part C were published in English in 1971 cCensus. Part B volume was brought out in Hindi as well as in English in separate issues with a view to enlarging its utility. This, however, resulted in delayed publication of data, erroding some of their topicality by prolonged time-lag. This time, therefore, the District Census Handbook are being brought out in diglot form in single volumes. The alphabetical list of villages is given in Hindi as well as in English to make the reference easier to both categories of users. The scope of. an~lyti~~l notes has been enlarged this time. They consist of (i~ ~ brief introduction of the Dlstnct. ell) analysis of data (iii) introduction to the, census handbook; explanations of terms used in the village and town directories and definitions of census concepts of general importance. Part B volume contains the analysis of data and the relevant portion of the third part of the analytical notes in Part A.
The non-census information was collected through the agency of lekhpals the basic revenue functionany. The lekhpals collected information for each village under their charge. It has passed on the Census Directorate by the District Census Office after getting it duly vetted by the Land Records Inspectors and Tahsildars. The information for towns was supplied by the local authorities. I gratefully acknowledge their role in collection of information. We have also used material made available to us by the C~llectoi's and DIstrict Magistrates in drafdng intro~ ductory notes on districts, I am extremely thankful to them for their assistance. I gratefully thank Sri P. Padmanabha, Registrar General of India and Dr. N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General, Social Studies Division for their inspiring guidance that came handy to me all through. I also thank Sri Lal Kishan, Deputy Director, Planning and Co-ordination, Sri Akhlaq Ahmad, Deputy Director, District Census Handbook and Sri N. C. Sinha, Asstt. Director and Sri R.P. Singh, Research Officer, lVlap of Census Directorate, Uttar Pradesh for their hard work. viii
In the end I am thankful to Shri Ashok Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P. AUahabad and Shri M. C. Padalia. Assistant Director and Shri R. K. Saxena, Senior Technical Assistant (Printing) with the team C?f Printing unit of this offi.c~ who have kept a constant watch upon the printing of this publication.
There is always some gap between what is desired and what is accomplished, both in terms of scope of the publication and accuracy of the published material. Yet, I hope, the District Census Handbooks will largely rise to the expectations of the variegated users fulfilling some of their needs for micro level data.
