It has market not only in India but also abroad. This fruit was introduced for cultivation in Nagpur district some time around the end of 18th century by Raghuji Raje Bhosale. Its continuance since then confirms that soil and climate is suitable for growing oranges in this region. The two varieties of oranges grown are 'Amhiya Bahar' and 'Mrug Babar' and the area under production of this fruit is more than 10% of the total area of the distirct. The success story of oranges can be judged by the fact that more than I . 5 lakh tonnes of oranges worth Rs. 18 crares are grown these days. It is an economic boon to the people of the region. Fruits are essential to the body for getting natural glucose. Let us grow more fruits.

The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulating local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important tables and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts, Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some States it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the format of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparabil~ty with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power 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 referrent 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 aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area planning but regUlating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalances 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 Pro­ gramme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village have been 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 villages in the district which are inaccessible. A new column, "total population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correla­ tion of the amenities with the population and number of househoids they (iv) serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of SC and ST population to the 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 infor­ mation on a few new items. A new statement on civic and other ameni­ ties in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Sche­ duled Tribes population in Statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in Statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant additiun is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastru­ cture of amenities ~n urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns on civic administration status and population in a few statements also serves this purpose. 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 individu::ll slip of 198 i Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCR " ; les it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the PCA of villages and lowns including the Sche­ duled Castes and Scheduled Tribes PCA upto Tahsil/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on peA and non-census data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value.
