Apart from certain particulars of every individual in our land the Census has also taken care to gather information about a host of other activities-institutions, establishments, services and so on. In other words, an attempt has been made to enumerate citizens in the background of the environment in which they live. Every inch of the country has been mapped and available basic amenities noted. It was a colossal task calling for a gigantic co-operative effort by the administration and the people. Performance in the Indian Census throughout the past century has been creditable and has earned us the apprecia. tion of the world. For the State of Haryana this is really the first Census and so it is important that the data collected be presented in a quick and comprehensive manner. Difficult enough, as the task of collecting data is, its compilation, tabulation and publication within a reasonably quick time calls for further arduous labour by a united team of dedicated workers. We were fortunate enough to have just such a team. 'The result is that we have been able to bring out some publications within a few months of the actual Census count. Since the District is still the basic functional unit of administration, the District Census Hand book is of special importance to all concerned with administration policy and planning. It should be of equal value to the scholar, scientist, sociologist and businessman. The data contained in it has been sorted out and presented along lines determined after careful consideration and discussion. All that is of importance in a district is contained in this Handbook. The Town and Village Directories in Part-A contain a wealth of useful information about these units. In Part-B Village and Townwise Primary Census Abstracts have been given all the basic Census data separately for each village and town in the district. Part-C of the District Census Handbook which would be brought out sometime later would contain an analysis of the various Census data in addition to the administrative statistics and a write-up on the social, cultural, historical and other important aspects of the life of the district. We owe our success in bringing out this publication to.the inspiring leadership of our enthusiastic and zealous Registrar General ofIndia-Shri A. Chandra Sekhar. For him the Census is not merely an administrative exercise but a vital part of existence. In his own words the-"modern Census has become an indispensable instrument of policy and development planning. It need hardly be stressed that a Census is not the mere counting of heads. It is akind of stock-taking as it were, of the nation's human wealth. The Census aims to present a complete picture of man, in his social, cultural and economic setting." The District Census Handbook attempts to depict in a cOf.cise form this variegated phenomenon of human life. We hope it will serve as a popular reference book for all data users.

(v) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is a long arduous process between the actual Census taking and the publication of the various Census Reports. In the State of Haryana, besides the District Census Officers, Sub-Divisional Census Officers, Charge Officers, the Assistant Charge Officers etc., as many as 19,350 odd Enumerators and Supervisors were appointed on the work of actual count in the field.

They mumlrec. up to their responsibilities and performed the work entrusted to them willingly and well.
