This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt./Union Tcrritory administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on the availability 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 socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contaim;d 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 PCA) were released in <.III the Slates and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbooks compri!ling administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many Statcs/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material.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 introduced in the DCHs. These w(;re published 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) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsiVtown 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 referent 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-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 on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in 'the Village Directory so as to give an 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 Stalement 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 werc reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, onc column on the Scheduled Casles 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 followed m 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 bcen given as against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to (his, the sex-wise popUlation in the 0-6 age-group has also been included in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rates as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the' time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modilications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. (v) One of the most important innovations ic the 1991 Census is the Community Development B.lock-levcl presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tahsilrralu'klPS level presentation. 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 tapesllloppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for eaeh village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State Gm.t./UT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sohha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the State Govt. administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by Dr.K.P.Jltaman, former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Direclor. 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 scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.K.Jain, the prescnt Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by S/Shri V.K.Jain and Hariram, Investigators and staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initiaHy 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 (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 1991 senes of the District Census Handbooks, Sri A.R.Nanda, LA.S., the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, has traced the history of the District Census Handbooks. He has also succinctly explained the scope and coverage oC the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain the salient data on the population Cor every vi11age and town as revealed by the 1991 Census. They also contain a wealth of information regarding these villages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is thereCore relevant to the data on the population. This inCormation has also considerable importance in the context of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two parts: Part A contammg information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is not census data and part B which contains the data on the population collected during the 1991 Census - the Primary Census Abstract.
