This is the most valuabk district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State (iovernmcllI d jnion Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data information on some orthe basic demographic and socio­ economic characteristics and on availbility of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners:administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and sociocultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract ( PCA ) of each village and town (ward - wise)l)\" the district. The DCI-Is published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive accont of the district administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories$fpcluding PCA.After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks ( Part - A : Comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PC A) were released in all the States and Union Territoryes. The third part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not to be published in ma~ States/ UTs due to considerably delay in comrilation of relevant material. In 198J ,somellew features al9ng with the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were publiched in two parts for each district after the 1981 census. While Part - A : Comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward - wise) inculding Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto tehsil/town level were provided in PArt - B : To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the referrent village, the distance in board ranges from the neart:st placc having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs programme. Similarly, information of the approach to the village was also provided for the first time during 1981 census in the Village pirectory so as te give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directores also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme, a Statement IV - A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums .. In this statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Classs II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Schedule Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as tollowed in 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine - fold industrial classification of main workers has been· given as aganist four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this. sex-wise population in the O-~ age group has also been inculded in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have beellJ treated as illiterates at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the 1110st important innovations, in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block·lewl presentation of data in the village directory and rcA instead of the traditional Tehsil! Taluk IPS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of village and Town directory and PCA data at C .0. Block level will help th( planners information of micro - level developmental plans, as the C.D. block is the lowest administrative unit 1'01 developmental planning. In order to t11cilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use village Director~ . PCA data, either from the magnetic tapesltloppies or from the publisheQ records, both the computer and manu<l1 codes for each vi lIage have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of State Government /UT administration and the Census Organi ation.Tlll' data have been collected and compiled under the direction ofShri. K. Sampath Kumar, Director of Census Operations. V Tamil nadu, on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost ofpriniting. The task of planning , designing and co-ordination of the publication was initiated by Dr. K.P. Ittaman, former Deputy Registrar General (S.S) and Shri. M.M. Dua, Joint Director, for the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/ data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly secutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidence.of Shri. M.K._Jain, the present Deputy Registrar General, (S.S). This task was carried out by Shri.

These unitshave withdrawal of ground water is more than the recharge (over exploited) and more 90% of recharge (Critical).

    City Corporate cum Business Plan for Palacode Town Panchayat Final Report Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu - 1 - 1 PROJECT OVERVIEW 1.1 ASSIGNMENT BACKGROUND The World Bank has been a partner in urban reform program of Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) with engagement through Tamil Nadu Urban Development Project (TNUDP) - TNUDP-I, TNUDP-II and TNUDP-III (in progress). Towards taking forward the urban reform agenda, the GoTN is now implementing the TNUDP-III with focus on furthering the reforms initiated under TNUDP-II. The Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited (TNUIFSL), as a financial intermediary, intends to assist the Commissionerate of Town Panchayats (CTP) in strengthening and improving the financial position of its Town Panchayats for effective capital investment management and urban service delivery. These towns possess a good potential for implementation of such financial reforms for which it is essential to formulate a City Corporate Cum Business Plan. The CTP has started the process of capacity building in Town Panchayats through this process to enhance the vision of the ULBs in growth of their towns. 1.1.1 CITY CORPORATE PLAN A City Corporate Plan (CCP) is the ULB’s corporate strategy that presents both a vision of a desired future perspective for the city and the ULB’s organization, and mission statements on how the ULB, together with other stakeholders, intends to work towards achieving their long-term vision in the next ten years. A CCP translates mission into actions and actions into outcomes. When a CCP is developed in close consultation with, and endorsed by all relevant local stakeholders, a ULB and others who commit themselves to action can be held accountable for their mission statements, actions and expected outcomes.

(Accepted : June 30, 2018) ABSTRACT We surveyed for herpetofauna along the poorly-explored sections of Southern Eastern Ghats. This 1000 hours-long large scale survey covered ranges stretching from near Western Ghats eastwards to the Coroman- del Coastal Plains, across a longitudinal gradient. Study area consisting of the tall and wet Bilgiri-Melagiri massifs to the west and the low and dry South Arcot and North Arcot ranges to the east were selected and surveyed. We recorded a total of 95 species including 23 species of amphibians, 35 species of lizards and 37 species of snakes. A descriptive species accounts with photographic vouchers is presented. Noteworthy find- ings include significant new range records for many wet-zone taxa and a few dry-zone taxa from hitherto fore under-surveyed regions. This includes many rare and range-restricted ones and newly described little-known taxa. The study highlights the importance of landscape-level, long-term fieldwork to unravel the hidden di- versity of tropical montane regions like the Eastern Ghats. Key words: amphibians, dry zone, ecoregion, lizards, peninsular India, snakes, wet zone.
