To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District 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 ever willing 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. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to us in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D. (Now Commi­ ssioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A. P. Dixit, for the facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole. hearted co-operation in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same. The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published one in Hindi and two i!J, English. The arrangements made by Sri A.Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P. Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thankfully acknowledged. Joint Superintendent, Sri. J. S. Gupta, Ifc New Government 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 Shri K. S. Sinha, Deputy Director, Headquarters, the Tabulation Officerl 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 Tabulation Officer for their constant help and guidance despite their own heavy preoccupations. D. M. SINHA Lucknow Direttor of Census Operations, Dated: October 3, 1972. Uttar Pradesh, Introductory Note 1. 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 out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the form of District Census Statistics. In 1931 village wise 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 was published alongwith another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 Census, attempts 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 develop­ ment and amenities were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have been made to compile both Census and Non-census statistic! at viltage/town level in a uniform manuer with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistics available for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purp03~ of adminis,ration, demar­ cation of electoral constituencies, planning and development and so OD. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Cenms 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 Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. IiI Village Dire­ ctory. particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communications have been given. Besides, it ton­ tains land-use statistics, days of weekly markets and places of religous, 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 cate­ gory, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medi­ cal and Educational facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerce, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of a town by religion and Scheduled CasteslScheduled Tribes. Part B represents da ta down to village level for rural area and block level for tOWrul. It contains the Primary Censns Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of occupied residential houses and households, total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate populatio11, working population by nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and livestock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transpor·, and communications and in other services as well as the non-working population. ( iv ) Part C deals with the administrati,e statistics pertaining to the district in all fields .of development, The Census tables pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes in socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 1. Town Directory given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns O'f the district. There is no uniformly accepted definition of a town. The historical, poli­ tical, cultural and administrative considerations are generally taken as criteria for rural­ urban classification. An urban area, in contradistinction to the rural, comprises a large m.ajority of inhabitants who are engaged in industrial and non-agricultural activities, In addition to its size, population and occupational characteristics, an urban area pro­ vides such facilities as transportation, banking, commercial and technical services, COill­ munity facilities and other civic services\ According to the State Government, all Muni­ cipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonment Boards, Notified Areas and Town Areas are considered as towns, and according to their average annual income from their own resources, these have been dassifiedi nto different classes of local bodies. The Criteria adopted under the Census Operations is slightly different from the State Government. In 1971 Census all places satisfying the following conditions have been ,treated as Towns :- 1. All Municipal Corporations, Municipal Boards, Cantonments & Notified Area~. 2 All localities though not in themselves local bodies but forming part of a city or town agglomeration. 3. Other places satisfying all the three under mentioned conditions : (i) Population exceeds 5,000. (ii) At least 75% of the male working population en,gages in non-agricultural pursuits, and (iii) The density of population exceeds 1,000 persons per sq. mile (386 persons per sq. km). ' The info' ation given in the Town Directory relates to the year 1969. The data has been presented in the following seven statements : (a) Statement 1 -This statement presents the population of the towns at the end ·of each decade from 1901 to 1971, the Civic status of the towns and their functional categories at 1961 and 1971 Censuses.
