To ensure that these statistics arc available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the Di~trict Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. This is the first part of the series, the Village and Town Directory, which mostly comprises non-Census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their everwiI1ing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to express my gratitude to Sri M. La!, Chief Secretary to U P. Government, for all the gUIdance and facilities affor­ ded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D (Now Commissioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, fOf the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks I am extremely thankful to the Di~trict Officers' for their whole-hearted co-opera­ tion in furni~hing the desired information and the Di trict Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts ill collecting the same. The programme for the printiug of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being pub lished, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U. P., Allahabad for the printing of these volu_!lles, arc thankfully acknowledged Joint Superintendent, Sri J S. Gupta, lie New Governmeut Press, Aishbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done-something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation, of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Sri K S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officer and other staff of the Technical Section, who have shared the burden and helped in bringing out these Handbooks. I must also express my gratitude to Sri A Chandrasekhar, Registrar General, India, Sri K· D Ballal and Dr. B. K. Roy Burman, Deputy Registrars General and Sri K· K· Chakravorty, Central Tabu1ation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy preoccupations. Lucknow D. M. SINHA Dated: October 3, 1972. Director of Census Operations, Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE I. History of District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistics at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in each district was published after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901. Village Directories were prepared for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the outbreak of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation was undertaken in the wake of the Second World War, but the utility of Census statistics was recognised and these were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and wa~ publi­ shed alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, att­ empts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informatIve, as in addItion to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of develoment and ameni­ ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and non-Censm statistics at village'town level in a unifo-rm manner WIth an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statlstics available for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of electoral constituencies, planning the development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being publIshed separately into three parts: Part A : Town and Village Directory Part B : Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statement -Dlstrict Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village- Directory. In village Direc- ory, particulars of amenities In regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications have been given Besides, it con­ tains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religious, historical or archa­ eological interest in each village The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of the town by Religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. It contaInS the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of occupied residential houses and households, total population and its brea:k-up by seJf, ( iv ) scheduled caste .md scheduled tribe, literate p<?pulation, working population by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricuh ral labourers, work~rs engag(.d in forestry and livestock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construc­ tion, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in other services as well as the non-working population. Part C deals with the administrative statietics pertaining to the district in all fields of development. Thc Census tables pertaining to language, religIOn, migration and economic activities art> being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes in socio-economic and dcmogrdpluc characteristics of the distnct during the la~t decade is also being included 1D it 3. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town The hi:storical, poli­ tical, cultural and admi.ni.strative considerations ale gen,erally taken as critena for rural­ urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large majority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities In additIOn to its Size, population and occupational characteristics, an urban al ea pro­ vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical set vices, com­ munit ( facilities and other -civic services According to the State Government, all MUlll­ Clpal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantollment Boards, NotifIed Areas and Town Areas are considered as town, and according ) 'ler ave.rage aHllual Flcome from then own resources, the~e have been classified into dIfferent classes of local bodIes. The Criteria adopted under the Census Opelations is slIghtly dIfferent from the State Government In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following condItions Ildve been treated as Towns ;- 1. All Municipal Corporations, l\funicipal BOdrds, Gmtolllnellts & Notified Areas. 2. All localities though not in themselves local bodies but fOrJtllllg part of a city or town agglomeration.
