The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is intlr alia used for delimitation of constituencies, 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 alS) provides data on infra-structure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. 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 Cen sus the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it c;)ntained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DOH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town POA and Part -C comprise ana.!ytical report. administrative statistics. district census tables and certain analytici\l tables based on POA and amentty da ta in respect of villages. However. in some states it was confined to district census and in a few altogether given up due to d~lay in compilation and printing. While designing the formate of 1981 DOH 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 data 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 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 rest ructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infra-structure 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 as to minimise the regional imbalances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirc;ments of the Revised Minimun 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, IItotal population and number of households" has been introduced to examine 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 with this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of ( iv ) the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amemties in Class--I and Class-II towns ( Statement IV-A) has been intro duced 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 pGpulatim in statement IV relating to civic and other amtnities and adult literacy classess centres under educaticnal facilities in statement V are also a.dded inti' alta wlth thIs view. A significant addItion is class of town in all the seven statements of the town di rectcry The infrastructure of amenIties III UI ban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns inw consideration. The addItion of the columns on cIvic admimstratlc.n status and populatIOn in a few statements also serves thIS purpose. The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formula ted in the light (If changes in the econ0mic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1931 DCH seri.:s it has been sa designed thl't Part-A of the volume contains village and town direcLry an I Part-B, the PCA of villages and towns including the SCheuuled Castes and Sche luleJ Tri bes peA upto Tahsil/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non-census d1ta in re1atbn to the infra structure has been introduced to enhance its value. The Distnct and Tahsil/P01ice Station/CD Block etc. Ie el :naps depicting the boundaries and other Important features have been inserted at appr0priate places. to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venture of the State G0vernment and the Census Organi zation. 'The data have been collected and compiled in the State uncler the direction of Sri Radndra Gupta, the Director of Census 0perati::ms, U. P. on be'1alf uf the State GJvern'nent which has born the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing- and c.J-ordination of this publlcation was carried out by Dr. N. G. N'l.g, Deputy Registrar General ('3;)cial Studies) of my office. Dr. B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) pr;)Vjded the: technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census DIrectorates have been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters nnder the guidance of Sri M. M. Dua. Senior Research Officer.

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 ga1axy 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 Prad("sh State bince 1951 census by the Census OrgaOlzation on behalf of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The District Census Handbook was brought out for each District in two vulumes in 1951/1961, three volumes in 1971 and is being brought out in two volumes Part A and Part B in 198'. With the introduction of this series, it developed into a healthy tradition to collect village-wise information on amenities and infra structure, 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 I A' volume, in keeping with the tradition, consists of village and town directo ries, 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 prLnary census data for each village and town giving total population with scheduled caste/scheduled tribe, literates, main workeIs 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 Census. 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 lome of their topicality by prolonged time-lag. This tim:!, therefore, the District Cemus Hand book are being brought out in diglot form in single volumes. The alphabetical list of villages is given in Hindi a, well as in English to make the reference easier to both categories of Users. The scope of analytical notes has been en 'arged this time. In Part A, the' Analytical Note, consists of brief introduction of the district and analysis of data presented there in. The introduction to the District Census Handbo:>k it also contains explanations of the terms used in the village and town directory and general concepts of census, while only a brief analysis of data and explanations of census concepts pertinent to the Primary Census Abstract have been included in Part B. The non-census information was collected through the agency of lekhpals the basic revenue functionary. 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 Lalld Record Inspectors and Tahsildars. The information for towns was supplied by the local authorities. I gratefully acknowledge their role in collection of information. We have ( viii ) also used material made available to us by the Collectors and District Magistrates introductory notes on districts, I am extremely thankful to them for their assistanc fully thank Sn P.

The Part A volume consists of village and town directories giving basic information I elating to infra-structure and amenities and total population of each village and town as thrown up by 1981 Census. The non-censu, information relates to the year 1979/ 80/19B1, making it almost synchronous with the 1981 population census, Part B volull:.e presents primary census data, known as in census Jargon as 'Primary Census Abstract' (PCA) for each village and ward of a town The peA gives totAl population with scheduled castes/scheduled tribes, literates, main workers by main categories, marginal workers and non-workers break-up. Two special tables-one for scheduled caste population and another for scheduled tribe population are also presented in Part 'B' volume. These tables give tahsil-wise and townwise and also for the district as a whole scheduled caste/scheduled tribe population. It is important for the readers to acquaint themselves with census concepts of general importance. 1. RURAL AND URBAN AREAS The census data are presented by rural and urban areas. A rural area is non-urban consisting of revenUe villages with well defined boundaries which is the smallest unit in the hierarchy of administrative units. It may comprise of several hamlets. Yet it is considered one unit for the persentation of data. Habitations in forest areas are also considered as villages and each forest range Officer's beat is consldered as one forest village. Urban areas have been especially defined for the purpose of population census. The definition is treated with some flexibility with a view to accommodating nlinor variations for meeting the exigency of the situation. An urban unit has been defined as foll.:>ws : (a) All places with a municipal, cvrporation, municipal board, cantonment board, notified area and town area. (b) All other places which satisfy the following criteria: (i) A minimum population of 5,000; (ii) At least 75% of the male working population engaged in non-agricUltural activity, (iii) A population of at least 400 per Sq. km. (or one thousand per sq. mile.) Allied agricultural activities such as fishing, logging etc. have been considered agricul tural in 1981 Census for determining the proportion of engagement of male population in non agricultural activities for the purpose of declaring a place a town. Z. URBAN AGGLOMERATION The concept of Urban Agglomeration of the 1971 is abo adopted for 1981 censUs. Very often the growth of towns over-lapped the statutory limits of the city or town. Large ( xvi ) railway colonies, university campuses, port areas, industrial areas etc. came up outside the limits of the town but they form continuous growth with the town. These outgrowths mayor may not by themselves qualify to be treated as separate towns but these outgrowths deserve to be treated as urban areas. Such a town with their outgrowth areas is treated as one urban unit and called 'Urban Agglomeration' and Urban Agglomeration may constitute. (i) A city with continuous outgrowths, (the part of outgrowth being outside the statutory limits but falling within the boundaries of the adjoining village or villages), (ii) One town with similar outgrowth or two or more adjoining towns with their out-growths as in (i); or (iii) A city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous spread. 3. CENSUS HOUSE A 'census house' is a building or a part of a building having a separate main entrance from the road or common courtyard or staircase etc., used recognised a.s a separate unit. It may be vacant or occupied. It may be used for residential or non-residential purpose or both. 4. HOUSEHOLD A household is a group of persons who commonly live together and who take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigency of work prevents them from doing so. There may be a household of persons related by blood or unrelated persons or having a mix of both. Examples of unrelated household are boarding houses, masses, hostels, residential hotels, rescue homes, jails, ashrams etc. These are called institutional households. There may be one-member households, two·member huuseholds or multi-member households. For census pUrpose, each one of these types is regarded as a household. 5. SCHEDULED CASTES/SCHEDULED TRIBES A persons has been returned as belonging to a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe if caste or tribe to which he belongs is included in the schedule of the Statt+ Schedulod caste can belong to Hindu or Sikh religion. However, a pers:>ns belonging to scheduled tribe can profess any religion. 6. LITERATES A person who can both read and write with understanding in any language is to be taken as literate. A person who can merely read but cannot write, is not a literate. It is not necessary that a person who i! literate should have passed any minimum ®ucational standard. 7. WORKER In 1981 Census, the economic status of a person has been classified as : (i) Main worker ( xvii ) (ii) Marginal Worker (iii) Non-workers Th~ dichotomy of workers and non-workers or 1961 and 1971 census has b~en discarded in 1981 censUs and time disposition criterion in economic activity with one year reference period is adopted. A person who has engaged himself in economic activity for major part of the year (at least 183 days) is considered as main worker while those who worked in for sometime during the last year but not major part of the year have been treated marginal worker. Those who have not worked at all during the one year reference p~riod are non-warkers. Work has been defined as participation in any economically productive activity. Such participation may be physical or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also effective supervision and dirGction of work. 8. CULTIV ATOR A person is considered a cultivator if he has engaged in cultivation as a single worker or family worker of land woned or held from Govt;rnment or held from private persons or institutions for payments in money kind or share. Cultivation includes supervision or direction of cultivation. Cultivation involves plOUghing sowing and harvesting and production of cereals and millet crops and other crops c;uch as sugar cane, ground nuts, tapioca etc. and pulses, raw jute and kindered fibre crops, cotton etc. and does not include fruit and vegetable growing or keeping of orchards or groves or working on plantation like tea, coffee, rubber etc. 9. AGRICULTURAL LABOURER A person who works in another person's land for wages in mon~y, kind or share should be regarded as an agricultural labourer. He does not have a risk in the cultivation but merely works in another persons land for wages. 19. HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY Household Industry is defined as an industry conducted by the head of the household himself/herself and or by the members of the household at home or within the precincts of house where the household lives in urban areas. The larger proportion of workers in a household industry should consist of membt'jrs of the househc>ld including the head. The industry should not be run on the scale of a r~gistered factory which would qualify or has to be registered under the Indian Factories Act. Industry implies production, processing, servicing or repair of articles or goods such as handloom weaving, dyeing, carpentry, bidi rolling, pottery manufacture, bicycle repairing, blacki smithy, tailoring etc. 11. OTHER WORKERS All workers, who are not cultivators or agricultural labourers or engaged in Household Industry are treated as other workers. This category covers factory and plantation workers, Government servants, Municipal employees, teachers, pnests, entertainment artists, workers engaged in trade, CJmmerce, business mining, construction etc. ANALYTICAL NOTE The district of Dehra Dun is situated in the north-west corner of the state.
