PREFACE Prior to the 1951 Census, there was no regular separate publication at the district level regarding the data collected, although the ,eeds of the District Census Handbooks can be traced to the 'yillage Lists' brought out for every district in 1901 and 'Village Statistics' of every district published in 1911 and 1941. No definite answer is for_thcoming as to why such publica'tions, giving village-wise information of occupied houses, break-up of populatIOn into malesifemales anu lit~rates, were not brought out III 1921 and 1931. The reason (QuId. be transier from 19~1 of centain charges on Census previously met from the provincial revenues to the Central revenues and the Government of India may not have considered it necessary to pUblish statistics upto tlle village le,,~l. 'Village Statistics' in 1941 were brought out by the Cellitral frovillces and Eetar Goycrnmelll and this practice of bringing out district-wise publications at the cost of the State Government has since been continuing. 2. The scope of the diSitrict-wise publications, now called the Di,trict Census Handbooks, has been undergoing change with each succeSSIve Census iwm l%1. In 1951, th~ District Census Handbooks only contained the Pr!mary Census Abstract and the CcmLlS taoles. In vicw of the usefulness of separate publication for each di"trict, improvements were made at the time ot the 1961 Census by including non-Census data like climate, agriculture, co-operatIOn, industry, edw.:a:tion, etc. An 'Introduc tory Note' was also added to highlight the more ~lriking features. Uniol1tunatelY.!_ the desire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive lesulLed in late availability 01 the books Ito the users. Therefore, this time the District Census Handbooks have been divided into three parts in order to release maximum data, -as -and when finalised, so that the publications may have a useful life of about seven to eight years of inter-Censal decennillIIl. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Part B the Primary census Abstract and Part C various administrative statistics with a -chapter titled "Introducing the district". It may be mentioned here that subsequently a decision has been taken to merge Parts A and B in one volume on grounds of economy. 3. Much of the delay in ·the publication of the District Census Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collection of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office, Separation of administrative statistics and ~he decision to write the Introductory and the kind Co-operation of the State Government permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade to write thl! chapter on "Introducing the District", likely to go a long way in early public3Jtion of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. AnotherEavourable factor this time is the early decision of the State Government to per.mit printing in private presses as and when Ithe work-load on the State Government Presses is heavy and likely to result in delay in the bringing out of the District Census Handbook of any distriat. It would not be out of place to point out here that the work-load in connection with Ithe District Census Handbooks is very much more this time, not only on account of wider coverage but largely due to the decision to bring out the District Census Handbooks in Hindi ~s well as English. In all, there will be 172 publications, 4 per diSitrict of which 2 will be in Hindi and 2 in English. Advance action was taken this time to collect the non ~ensus data and it is hoped that the combined volume of Pants A and B of all the 43 districts would be out by the end of 1973 and Part C of all the districts by the middle of 1975. This would be a definite improvement on .the 1961 performance when printing of the District Census Handbooks covered the period 1964 to 1967. 4. In his Preface to ,the 1961 District Census Handbooks, my predecessor, Shri G. Jagathpathi! had observed thus, "It was not possible at this Census to base all Census statistics on the development block as the unit mainly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had become complete by about the middle of 1963 and ilt is not unlikelv that the 1971 Census will recognise the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational pur poses.". It has not been possible to adopt the development block as the basic unit for operation and presentation in this Census for more than one reason.. Firs.tly, the office of the Block Develop ment Officer was abolished in December, 1965; its resurre!:tion in the form of office of the Block De~ve1opment Assistant from 2-10-69 had not taken firm roots up to Ithe time field arrangements for the 1911 Census were finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a unit of field arrangements has many more advan tages, the most significant being the ready availability of that legendary functionary-the patwari-w~thout whose active co-operation it would be a formidable task to determine whether a habited structure in a mltivated field. is part of village X or Y. Even, otherwise. since village-wise figures are available, it s~lOuld not be dIfficult for those in need of data for intermediate units between the village and 1he tahsil, hke the .development block or patwari halka, to compile iil by adding figures of concerned villages. !he tahsIl has for long been a fixed unit of administration and, to my mind, should be retained m preference to the development block whose jurisdiction may undergo a change in accordance wi,th the pace of future development. 2 5. In conclusion, J would like to place on record my grateful (thanks to the Government of Madbya Pradesh for having ~o kindly agreed to undertake the publication of the Handbooks in liindi as well as english to the various government and semi-government offices for un~hesitatingly making available the non-Census sta,tistics, and to the Controller, Government Press, and his staff fOl arranging early printing in the Government and private Presses.
