The Handbooks are -compiled by the Census Office but published by the State Government. They proved to be very popular and valuable publications in considerable demand by the public as well as the official users of the Census data. At the 1961 Census, therefore, it was decided not only to continue the publication of the District Census Handbook but to greatly improve upon its precursor of 1951. The pr.esr,pt '1)istri&t Census Handbook may be conveniently divided into four parts. The first part consis~s'of a \ral~ktive:d-escription of the physical features and history of the district, the social and economic charaet.eristics of the people an~ the progress made by the district in each field of administration over the past deca9.~.'This i~~Vi'pJ~mented by'.a-gazetteer of places. The second part consists of administrative statistics of variol!"s #departments. 'rIte third· ps,'rt is based mainly on the present Census returns and consists of statistical tables giving the particula;; ·of,.p9Pulation, sex ratio, economic composition, literacy, language and migration data et~.:·:rh~tourth part conslsots of Village and Town Directory which is perhaps the vital part of the Hand­ book givil;g':;'~l~gewise and to·.,riwise particulars of area, households, population, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, literacy, broad categorisation of working population, etc. Against each village and town the educationl, medical, public health and transport facilities, etc., if available, have also been indicated. At the end of the fourth part a tabular statement of fairs and festivals, information about which had been collected through the Census enumerators will also be found. The pages of each part are numbered separately. The Handbook is enriched with two district maps, one showing the administrative divisions and important com­ munications, rivers etc., and the names of all important places of above 5,000 population and the other showing the talukwise density of population. In the Village Directory portion of the Handbook, before the statistics of each taluk are presented, a tal uk map showing the village and town boundaries with the location code numbet of each village and town marked will also be found. Thus the District Census Handbook is a self-contained and convenient book of reference about almost all matters pertaining to the district. The Handbooks are no doubt coming rather late, a few years after completion of the Census count. This delay, if at all it can be called delay, could not be helped. The very detailed sorting of Census slips and compilation of the elaborate 1961 Census tables were time consuming; the administrative particulars for in­ corporation in the Handbooks had to be collected from different departments and other sources on proformae that were finalised and circulated from this office; the preparation of the excellent maps of the district and the taluks, attempted this time, also required considerable time; and lastly the printing of thes e voluminous reports which had to be done very carefully was a laborious process. All the same it is hoped that these Hand­ books will serve as valuable sources of reference about all matters pertaining to the district and help one to assess the impact of the Five Year Plans and the progress each district had made in its social and economic well being over the decades and also serve as a guide in planning for the future. The credit for the compilation of this Handbook goes chiefly to Shri P.S.R. Avadhany, Deputy Superintendent of Census Operations. A compi­ lation of this type and magnitude could have taken much longer time btlt for the diligent efforts of Shri Avadhany. The Handbook section of the Census Office under the Tabulation Officer Shri K. Narasimha Murthy, did a commendable work in the speedy and accurate compilation of the Village Directory and the other Statistical and Administrative tables. Draughtsman, Shri G. Pandurangam; Shri Mohinuddin Hassan and Shri M. J. Sadiq, Tracers of the Cartographic Section in my office did a magnificent work as will be evident from the quality of maps that have been produced.
