The district, had a 1951 population 1)f 1,575,386 and an area of 5,3Q5'1 square miles, according to the area figures furnished by the Surveyor general of India. This Handbook contains tables for Dharwar district, compiled after the 1951 Census of India. The .main results of the 1951 Census are embodi ~d in the State Tables published for the States of Bombay, Saurashtra and Kutch. In this Handbook the data are exhibited in greater detail. The numbers given to tables in this pUblication correspond to those given in the State Census Report. The following tables for the district ha ye, .however, not been included in thie Handbook :-- A-II-Variation in population during fifty years. A-IV~Towns claesified by population with variations since 1901. D-IV-Migrants. In the E-summary' table, in this Hand book some oohimns have been omitted. In the' case of the C-series of tablos, except C-I, the data were extract~ ed on the basis of a sample count of approximately 10 per cent of the census slips, instead of a full count of all the slips. The C-I table was prepared from a 4 per cent sample of the boueeholds recorded in the National Register of Citizens relating to each town or ,village. In 1941, the popUlation figures were exhibited according tocommunitios in the} Village Handbooks' published by the Government of Bombay. In 1951, the basis of classHication at nhe Census was changed from a social to an economic one, and the figuree for villages given in the .Primary CcneU$ Abstracts and in tables A-V, B-1, B-II, C-II and E are according to th, following eight Livelihood Classes ;- . Agricultural Classes I. Cultivators of land, wholly Or mainly owned; and their depen-, darits. II. Cultivators of land, Wholly or mainly unwonedj and their depcn- ( dants. III. Cultivating labourers, and their dependa.nts. IV. Non-cultivating owners of land; agricultural rent receivers, and; their dependante. Non-Agricultural Classes Persons (including dependants) who derive their priIlcipai mearis< of livelihood from;- V. Production other than cultivation. VI. Commerce. 3 VII. Transport. VIII. Other services and miscellaneous sources. Dependants, 'wheth~T earning or non-earning were classified at the census according to the principal means of livelihood of the persons on whom they were dependant. The' Primary Census Abstracts, which contajn basic information in respect of every village and town, have been arranged according to Talu :lfas and P~tas, units into which evey district is divided for administrative "!purposes. The taluka was, however, too small a unit to adopt for preparing "the main census tables. Therefore, in the B, C and D series of tables ~gures 'have been given ·for trac1>8 and not for ~alukas and Petas. Before ~rting the census slips and tabulating the results, tracts were formed by combining the rural and urbari areas of two :.01' more talukas or petas. The tracts 'into which Dharwar district was divided for this purpose are shown below :- ' Rural Tracts (I) Rural areas of Dharwar, Hubli, Kalghatgi and Navalgund t~ltikas. (2) Rural areas of Gadag and Ren talu~as and Mundargi and Nargund petas. (3) Rural areas of Hangal, Sh~gaon and Shirhatti .talukas .and Kundgol peta. (4) Rural a:r:_eas of~anebennur talUka and Byadgi ,peta. (5) Rural areas of 1laveri and. Hireke.rur talulias. lh'ban Tracts (1) Hubli City. (2) ,Urban areas of Dharwar, Kalghatgi and Navalgund talukas. (3) Urban areas of G1.dag and Ron talukas a:qd Mundargi and Nar gund petas. (4) Urbane areas of Hanga!, Shiggaon and Shirhatti talukas and Kundgol peta. (.5) Urban areas of Haveri, Hirekerur and Ranebennur talukas and Byadgi peta. Urban areas comprise the towns shown in table A-V. I Shortly befo~e the 1951 Population Census, a CenRUs of Small Industries 'was taken, and the rcJsults of this census are givon in tho· table called 'Small Scale Industries Census-Eptployment in Establishments, , mcluded in this Handbook.' . The intention was to find out something about Cottage and Home Industries and small w0Tkshops. The larger establishmentsf that is, power ~ing establishments wi~1:t 10 or more workers and non-power .using establish ments with 20 or more workers, were exclu!ied from the scope of the enquiry as they noW submit returns under the Factory Aot. - The enquiry did not concern itself also with workers functioning Qn their own and not employing other people, exoept when looms were' used. If eVen one loom was used a return was required. Otherwise the concept was of an enquiry'which embraced all forms of ~ssoeiate activity w:p.ere articles were produced, repaired or otherwise treated for sale, use or, disposal. 4 A-I..,...
