The Di~trict Census handboo~ (DCR), compiled by the Censul organisation on behalf of the State governmellts, is one of the most valuable products of the Ccnsus. The DCH is constantly referred to bye planners, administrators, as;ademicians aLd researchers. It i::. inter-alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulaliun of locai level and regional plans and as an aid to District adminhtration. The district census handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (PCA) data upto village level for the rUlal areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities n viUages and towns, etc.
The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census ta~lts and peA for c.. ch village Ilnd t(. wn of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of thc DCH was enlarged lind it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statisOcs, census tables village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series was planned in three parts. Part-A related to villBge and town directory. Part-B to village and town peA and Part-C compri sed analytical report, administrative statiFtics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on peA and amenity data in respect of viHages. 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 formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. All the amenities except power supply in the village have been brollght together in the village directory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrmt village the dil'tance in .broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is availablo may be givt'n. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure a1pect 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 lrca I area planning but regulating tho provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imbalan ces in the process of dnelopment. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet lome of the requircments of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres. and con.munity health wOlkers in the ~illage have b~en introduced in the village directory with tbis objectives in mind. The new item on approach to the villago is to have an idea about the villagc:s in the district wbich are inaccesible. A new column, "total population and number of housebolds" has been introduced to examine tbe correlalion of the amenities "ilb the J:opulatioD and number of houseohlds they serve. Addition of two more aprendices listiflg the villagfl v.here no amc· inities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled castes and scheduled tribt's 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 information on a few new item <\ new statement on civic and other amenities in slums in class-I and clasl-II towns (Statement IV·A) has been intf( duced with this objective in mind. It is ex-pected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. The columns.Do Scheduled Castes anti Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other arrenities and adult JiteracIY clasles/centres under educational facilities in statement Vale also added inter-olia \' lib Ihis IV view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of tbe town directory. The infrastructuro of amenities in urban areas of the country can be berst analysed by taking the class of towns into consi deration. The addition of the columns on ci"ic admini'itration status and population in a few statements allo serves this purpose.
The format of the primary censu! abstract for the villages and towns has been formulated in the light of change! in the economic and other questions c'anvaqsed through the individual' slip of 1981 census.
In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCR series it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains villag. and town directory and Part-B tbe PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and Scbeduled Tribes peA upto Tahsil/To~n levels. At the beginning of the DCH a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tableS based on PCA and non-census data in relation to tho infrastructure has been introduced to enhance its value. Toe district !lnd tahsillp )tiCI station ICD Blockl etc, , level maps depicting the boundaries and other important features have been inserted at appropriate places, to further onhance the ,value of ~he publication.
This pUblication is a joint venture of the State Government anJ the Censug Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled in the S,tae under the direction of Sbri K. C. Dubey, the Director of Census Operations, Madhya Prade,h on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning. designing and coordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N.O. Nai, Deputy Regiltrar General (Social Studies) of roy offico. Dr. B.K.

New Delhi P. PADMANA'BHA. tbe 26thApriJ, 1981 REGISTRAR GENERAL, INDIA PREFACE
One of the most important publications of the Census are the District Census Handbooks. Thi. publication was begun in this caption since 1951 Cen<;us. But prior to this. a similar publication was releaf.ed in the Census earlier than 1951. That publication was on the title of Village Statistics and it contain. only vlliage names and total Population thereof. The 1951 Census could, therefore. be said to present a significans st~p in the process of making detailed Census statistks available down upto the Village level.
In fact the District Census HandboolQ is the most important publication at the Census and is also perhaps the most widely used. Also perhaps this is the only publication used at the micro-level down upto the tahsil and development Block.
The form of the District Census Handbook has gone considerablfll change since 1951. This is basi ecaUy due to the growing demand for more information. For the purpose of convenience as well as with a view to making the basic statistics available with the data users as early as possible the District Census Hand booh have been split into 2 parts. Part-A contains the Introductory Note on the District and Town/Village Directory. This Volume will be found useful to get almost all the non-Census statistics available at one place. Part-B also contains tho Primary Census Abstract.
One of the innovation of tbe present Census bas been in term of allotm~nt of Location Code numben to the villages. In tbe earlier censuses tbe Location Code svstem was such that the villages of a Patwari Circle were found at different serial numbers Since the patwari circle still remains an important administrative unit, the Location Code numbers have been so given in the present Cemus tbat it may be p:>lisible to locate all tbe villages of a particular Patwari Circle at one place one below the otber.
When the planning for the present cenSUi was started in 1979 the tahsils were still revivable as ao Impor tant unit of the administration. tbe whole planning was. therefore, done taking tabsil as tbe Unit. It was during the course of the census that some requests were informally received for making blockwise data available. Since these requests were received very late and were also received only in an informal m'mner. it has not been possible to disturb the original planning of villages arranged according to the location code numbers taking tabsil as one unit. However, additio,al exercise has been done and in addition to the tahsil figures blockwise figures bave also been indicated. It h hoped that the availability' of tbese blockwise data will enhance the utility of tbis publication.
It is hoped that this handbook will provide the basic statistical support to executive and develop mental administration. It is needless to state that tbe proper implementation of policy depends on the ability of the administration authorities concerned.
It may be remembered that the vilIagcwise area figures given in the Primary Census Abstract and the Village Directory are those based on the village papers while the tahsil totals given in PCA ale obtained from tbe Land Records de.partment which in many cases exclude forest area. VI
The Itatistics that are contained in the diatrict census handbooks are the result of a mauivo and marathon exercise in the compilation and tabulation of voluminous statistics. The compilation of the stati stics contained in this volume was carried out by 9 Regional Tabulation Offices ,each under a Regional Deputy Director of Census Operations. These Regional Offices were run with the help of purely temporary staft' rOllahly about 1.500 Tabulators, about 250 Checkers and about 80 Supervisors•. I am arateful to my colleagues, 'he Regional Deputy Directors and those temporary staff for the speed and accuracy in the editing and basio . compilation of more than nearly 522 lath slips and nearly 1 lakh of household schedules. The compilation of. vilJage directory was taken up at the HeadquarterS and I am equally grateful to the officers and staff who have worked whole heartedly OD the job in a collective and cooperative venture. It is not possible nor fair to name in this. The maps contained in the handbook have been prepared in the Cartographic Section of my office, However,' the analytical note hal been prepared by Shri K.G. Bapana, Tabulation Officer, and edited by Shri M L. Sharma, Oy. Director, Census Operations. '
I am thankful to all Who have contributed to bring this publication possible. The Census Organis ation is also grateful to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having been so kind as to . undertake the publication of these handbooks andl(o tho Controller. Printing and Stationery, Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal and his staff for the Printing arrangements made. The inspiration behind this ambitious venture is that of our indefatigable Registrar General, Silri P. Padmanabha, to whom we are all deeply greateful. Our thanks are also due to Shi-i N. G. Nag, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) for all the help that we received from him and his section,

The objective this basis in 1971 and some basic data were presen of the SAD A areas perhaps is, to control the future ted for 1951, 1961 and 1971 for such areas and theil! development of these areas in a planned manner and components. ,Similar data have been presented for that is all. It was, therefore, not considered desirable the Standard Urban Areas in 1981 also. The idea is to treat such SADA areas at par with other urban to present basic data for these areas for four to five bodies like municipal corporat ions, municipal decades so that the urbanisation process in tbose areas committees etc., and only that part of it is treated as can be studied. However, there have been mlm urban which is really so. As such in the Korba SADA mum changes in the constituent units of the Standard arel only "K orba town has been treated as urban and Urban Areas of 1981 Census as compared to thosc est of the area remains in the rural frame. of 1971, but the list of Standard Urban Areas remains ,unchanged. URBAN AGGLOMERATION: SIZE CLASS OF TOWNS: Apart from town/city the 1971 concept of urban agglomeration is also adopted for the 1981 Census. The urban areas are- classifie d into 6 classes Very often large railway colonies, university campuses, referred to as towns of Class I to VI. The classifi port areas, military camps, ctc. come up outside the cation is IIhown below - statutory limits of the city or town but adjoining it. ~ Such areas may not by themselves qualify to be treated Class I 100,000 and abovc as towns but if they form a contiguous spread Class II 50,000 to 99,996 with the towns, they are outgrowths of the town and Class III 20,000 to 49,999 deserve to be treated as urban. Such towns together Class IV 10,000 to 19,999 with their outgrowths havo been treated as one urban unit and called 'urban agglomeration'. An urban Class V 5,000 to 9,999 agglomeration may constitute: Class VI Less than 5,000

Participation rate : While comparing participation rates with those The general work participation rate i. e. the percenfage -of 'workets -to total population of 1961, it is however, expected that the combined in th~ district is 33.75% against 29.08% in 1971 and work participation rate (taking into consideratiob 36.63% in 1961. There is fluctuating trend in the both main workers and marginal workers) of 1981 work participation rates at the three censuses. would have been closer ta participation rate of 1961. Inconsistent trend of participation rate is mainly due Combined work participation rate of Indore district to conceptual changes in each census. High rate of as recorded in 1981 Census is 33.74% (32.07 main work participation in 1961 census is attributable to workers and 1.67% marginal workers) whkh is lower the fact that the concept of workers as adopted in than that of 36.63 per cent as recorded in 1961 Census. 1961 censns proved to be too liberal and tended to inflate the number of workers. Persons who were The difference between rates of worKers in district basically non-workers like house-wives. students etc. between 1971 and 1981 is quite marginal than the were in the category of workers even though their difference of workers in State between 1971 and participation was very marginal whereas in 1971 1981. Combined work participation rate of State every person had been categorised as 'worker' and in 1981 is 42.93% and in 1971 it was 52.30%. non-worker' with respect to his/her main activity During 198 t Census male work praticipation reported by him/her on the basis of major part of rate of ':0.26 per cent in the district is higher than that time spent. of 46 88% at the 1971 census. As against slight In 1981 Census a clear distinction between main increase in the male work participation rate during workers and marginal workers has been evolved. 1981 there is a sizable increase in female work partiw. Presons ~ho have worked for major part of the year cipation from 8.84 per cent in 1971 to 15.36 percent 1. e. more than six months (183 days) preceding the in 1981. The rural urban differential in the work enumeration were treated as main workers and the participation rate is still wide as the participation marginal workers are those who have worked any rate in rural areas is 43.04% as against 28 94% of the time at all in the year preceding to enumeration but urban populat!on. Similarly there is a wide diffe have worked for less than six months. However main rence in the female participation, 31.12% in rural workers of 1981'Census correspond to the workers of areas as against 7.01% in urban areas. 1971, but it appears that there is increase of workers particip~tion in 1981 in comparision to 1971 as total In an agrarion economy the ~igh work partici workers in 1971 were 29.10% while that of main pation rate is not a true index of prosperity. On the workers of 1981 are 32.08%. But comparision of other hand the district is highly urbanised and also work particition rates of Madhya Pradesh reveals industrially advanced, though the participation rate that there is some consitent trend between 197I and is very low as compared to many districts. The fol 1981 censues. The participation of workers in the lowing table gives the percentage distribution of State in 1971 was 36.72% and in 1981 main workers workers by broad economic activities for the State as are 38.41%. a whole and Indore district.
