This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State: Govt. f Union Territory administration. It inter-alia provides data linformation on some of the basic demographic and socia-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities ifaciiities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thU3 proVt;d to be of imm6r~se utility to the planners, administrators, as:;demicians and iesearchers. The scope of the DCH was initiaUy confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socia-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA \ of each village and tovvn (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including 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 peA) were released in all the States and Un ion Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising adminrstrztiv0, statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introiuced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 19111 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Schduled Tribe PCA up to tehsil/town level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-cen1res and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revispd Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to th9 village was also provided for the first time in the village Directorv so as to give lin idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directories 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 programrnes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this statement detai Is on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of class I and Clas " towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult lite.racy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. (iii) The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed 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 against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the 0-6 age group has also been included in peA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate 8S all children below 7 years of age havfJ been treated as illiterate 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 most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tahsil{TalukjPS level presen­ tation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at C. D. Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro­ level developmental plans, as the C D. Block is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Village Directory; PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census alongwith the correspondir;g codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State Govt. /UT admini­ stration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of shri P. V. James, Deputy Director of Census OperatioilS, Union Territory of Lakshadweep on b(;;half of the state Govt. fUT administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of plcnning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by Dr. K. P. Ittaman, former Deputy Registrar Gan('ral (Social Studies) 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 .omicro-Ievel analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of shri M. K. Jain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S. S.). This task was carried out by Shri A. K. Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by Shri N. S. Soam, Assistant Director and his staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr. B. K. Roy, former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contributed to this project. New Delhi (A. R. Nanda) June 11. 1992 Registrar General, India (iv) PREFACE As in 1971 and 1981, the District Census Handbook 1991 is an important publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of the Lakshadweep Union Territory Administration. The District Census Handbook is widely used by the various Departments of Lakshadweep Administration and its lower level offices and by the scholars, researchers and other data users as well. This volume comprises of two parts (i) Part A-Village and Town Directory and (ii) Part B-Primary Census Abstract for Generai Population and Scheduled Tribe Population. The pattern of presentation :n this report is by and large the same as followed in 1981. A significant innovation in 1991 is the presentation of data at Community Development Block level instead of traditional Tahsil level. The presentation of nine-fold Industrial Classification of main workers as against the four fold classification of 1981 Census makes the report more useful. The scaled maps of the four Sub-divisions (Tahsils) pertaining to Lakshadweep have been prepared by the Census Department for the first time and included in this Handbook. Besides presenting data in statements, a brief analysis of Village and Town Directory and Primary Census Abstract on the basis of inset tables, 8n outline of 1991 Census, physical features, major economic, social and cultural characteristics and developmental activities pertaining to the Union Territory of Laksi:adweep have also been included in the Analytical Note. The scope of the publication has been enlarged by reflecting a comparison between the present and past conditions of the islands. The Village Directory statements presented for the Community Development B lock and for each village (island) give information on number of households, population, availability of amenities such as educational, medical, drinking water, post and telegraph, road and other communication facilities, power supply and land use. Town Directory statements give area, number of households, population and its growth rate, rainfall and temperature, road length, system of sewerage, protected water supply, types of electricity connections, medical, educational, recreational and cultural facilities etc. of each town. The Primary Census Abstract included in Part B contains data on number of occupied residential houses, number of households, total population and its break up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population, literate and workers by nine industrial categories. The non·census data required for the Village Directory and Town Directory were collected and compiled by the Census Directorate. The draft of the publication was prepared by SlShri A. V. Ouseph, Invest.i­ gator, T. P. Abdullakoy" Statistical Assistant and Smt K. Sarasamma Pillai, Computer. Shri P. V. James, Assistant Director attended to the production (v) of the volume at all stages and he edited and finalised the Handbook. I would like to place on record my appreciation due to them in blinging out this publication.

Seven seagrass species under five genera were recorded from nine islands and no seagrass was found at Bitra island. Out of seven seagrass species, Cymodocea serrulata was found to be dominant in the Lakshadweep group of islands whereas Halophila decipiens was found only in Kalpeni island. Biomass varied widely from 72+9 to 944+99 gfr.wt.m-2 among all the species of seagrasses. Productivity also showed clear variation within the species and between the species at different stations. Productivity of the species varied from 2.76+0.17 mgCm-2day-1 to 95.53+10.06 mgCm-2day-1 and it was in the following order of increase: H. decipiens< H. pinifolia< H. uninervis< T. hemprichii< C. rotundata< S. isoetifolium < C. serrulata.

While copepods were dominant in the sea, meroplank• ton, particularly brachyuran zoeae constituted the largest group in the lagoons. Zooplankton stand• ing stock was lower in the lagoons as compared to the sea. Among copepods, calanoids showed higher abundance in the sea whereas harpacticoids and cyclopoids dominated the Kalpeni and Agatti lagoons respectively. Several striking similarities were observed in the zooplankton composition be• tween the coral and coastal lagoons.
