Blockwise/Townwise. 404-427 III FOREWORD Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DCHs) was initiated after 1951 Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/modifications after each decennial Census. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State GovernmenUUnion Territory Administration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics and on availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the distrfct. The DCHs published after 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories, in cluding PCA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District Census Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-8 comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Census Handbooks comprising admin istrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be publish ed in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevent material. In 1981, some new features alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were intro duced in -the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each districLafter the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of Villages and towns (wardwise) in cluding Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes PCA upto tehsil/town level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity, were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referrent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy cen tres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time during 1981 census in the Village Di rectory so as to give an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of Town Directory also, keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme, a State ment IV-A on Slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this statement ,details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class-I and Class-II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/cen tres were added in statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentaion of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However, the format of PCA has been restructured slighly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex wise population in the 0-6 age group has also been included in PCA for the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterates at the time of the 1991 Census, it is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Developement Blocklevel presentation of data in the village directory and PCA instead of the traditional Tehsilffaluk IPS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of village and town directory and PCA data at C.D.block level Will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as v the C.D. BJock is the lowest administrative unit for developmental planning.,. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use Vil lage Directory/PCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for each village have been provided for the 1991 Census along with the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of State GovernmentlUT administration and the Census Or ganisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Shri.
