11•• FOREWORD TO THE D.C.H. SERIES

The District Census Handbook (D.C.H.), compiled by the. Census Organization on behalf of the State Governments, is one.. of the most valuable productS- of the census. The D.C.H. is consta.ntly 'referrrd to by planners, administFators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia us.'d for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and a~ an aid to District administration. The District Census Handbook is the only publication which provid('s Primary Census Abstract (P.C.A.) data upto village level for the rural areas and ward-wise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenitie.i in villages and towns etc.

The District Census Handbook series was initiated during the 1951 census. It contained important census tables and P.C.A. for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the sC')pe of the D.C.H. was enlarged and it containei a descriptive accollnt of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town dIrectory, including P.C.A. The 1'171 D.C.H. series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to-village and town P.C.A. and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables. based on p.e.A. and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states Part-C was confined to district census tables ;nd in a few cases altogether given up due to delay ill compilation and printiTlg.

While designing the format of 1981 D.C,H. series, some new features along with the restruct.uring of the formats of village' and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1~7I data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except pow~.. supply in the village have been brought" together in the'village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referent' village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspec~ particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected t() further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area plam~ing but regulating the provision of goods and services as so as to minimise the regional imbala nees in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult centres, primary health subcentres, and community health workers in the village have b~en introduced in the village directory with this objective in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the village in the district which are inacoessible. A new column "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the population and number of households they serve .. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages wkere no amenities are available and according to the 'Proportion of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Trib3s population to th~ total population has also been made with this view in mind.

The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the" requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educati~nal facilities in statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the six statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns on c;vic administration status and population in a few st~tements also serves this p.. rpose.

·.iii 106/540-·2 The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the individual slip of 1981 cemus.

In order to avoid"delay in publication of 1981 D.C.H. series, it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the P.C.A. of villages and towns incfuding the Scheduled Castes and Schedulecl Tribes P.C.A. upto TehsilJ Town levels'." At the beginning of the D.C.H. a detailed anaiytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on P.C.A. and non-census data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. The district and tehsilf police stationf CD block, etc. level maps depicting the buundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places to further enhance the value of the publication.

This publication is a joint venture of the State Government and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the state under the direction of Sri M. Vijayanunni Director of Census Operations, Kerala on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing, The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Sri N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office, Dr. B. K. Roy, Deputy Registrar General (Map) provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. Data received from Census Directorates have been scrutinised in the . Social Studies Division at the headquarters under the guidance of Sri M. M. Dua, Senior Research Officer. I am thankful to all who have contributed in this project. "

~V" PREFACE TO THE D.C.H. smms

The District Census Handbooks (D.C.H.) constitute an important set of census publications brought out by the ,census organization which are widely made use of by the State Governm~nt and its district level and lower officials for planning, development ~nd' administration purposes as well as by a large cross-section of data users like academicians, scholars, researchers and other hon-governmental agencies.

This volume presents the Village <\.nd Town Direct?ries. Wlder Part A and the Primary Census Abstract under Part B. The Village Directory gives for each village the area, popula­ tion, educational, medical, civic and other amenities and land use. The Town Directory gives for each town the area, population characteristics, physical aspects, communications, municipal finance, educational, medical, civic and other amenities' and trade, commerce, industry and banking· facilities. The Primary CenSus Abstract presents certain other basic data like number of residential hous~s and households, literates, Scheduled Caste and Tribe population, workers by main categories, marginal workers and non-workers.

The data presented under Villag~~ and Town Directories wer~ furnished by the Village . Offic~rs through the Tahsildars in respect of rural villages and by the Commissioners or Executive Officers concerned in respect of urban areas respectively. The data presented tUlder Primary Census Abstract were collected during the census operations by the census field organization consisting of Enumerators, Supervisors, Charge Officers and District Census Officers. Thanks arc due to all these field officials who have provided the basic data required -.for the ?ompilation of this volume.

The preparation of the statements and tables for this voltime was undertaken in the Census Directorate of Kerala, Triv~~rum by M. K. Vilasini, Statistical Assistant and S. Radhamony, M. Parvathi Ammal, E. Rahima Beevi and B. Prasannakumari, ComputoI'll. A. Sadasivan' Achari, V. Thulaseedharan and Michael Gomez, Draughtsmen and S; , Artist drew the maps and art work. C. Sarojini Amma, U.D. Clerk t~ped the manuscript and M. P. Raghunadhan, Printing Inspector attended to the printing aspects. P. M. R'7gmini Amma, Investigator wtote the Preliminary dqft and S. Jayashanker, Assistant Director prepared the final draft and attended to the production of the volume -at all stages. I record my appreciation for the pain staking and dedicated services rendered by all my co'Ueagues in giving shape to this volume.

While the collection and tabulation of data and the designing, compilation and 'production of these District Census Handbook volumes were undertaken by the census depart­ ment at its own expense, in keeping with the past practice, the State Government agreed to bear the cost of printing which is only appropriate since the State Government Departments and offices are the major users of these handbooks and the bulk of the copies are made 'available to them free of cost. It is hoped that all data-users will find the format and contents of the 1981 D.C.H. series convenient and useful.

v REFERENCE DATES ADOPTED FOR THIS VOLUME

The Primar'y Census Abstract (P.C.A.) data and general statistics were collected during the census operations as on 1st March 1981 which was the reference date for the 1981 census and hence this· volume presents census and statistical data on the district, taluks, villages, towns, panchayats· and development blocks as per their jurisdiction on 1st .March 1981 without reference to the subsequent changes, if any, in the jurisdiction of these units. However, if changes in jurisdiction had occurred in the case of any unit during the period after 1st March 1981, an indication to that effect has been given, for information, against the administrative units concerned which have undergone changes.
