Their publication was first taken up at the 1951 Census for making census statistics available for the smaller territorial units. In the 1961 Census, attempts were made to make this publication more informative with the addition of data about level of development and amenities available in villages. There was, however, great delay in the publication of this valuable reference compendium. The delay occurred on account of the fact that the compilation of the Handbook had to wait till the complete tabula tion programme was got through. The compilation of administrative statistics for inclusion in the Handbook also took a long time. As a result, the town and village-wise primary census data could not be released pending their formal publication even though there was constant demand for it., In view of these considerations, it was decided at the 1971 Census that the District Census Handbook would be divided into three convenient parts so that at least Parts A and B, which contain essential data down to the village and town levels, could be released quickly. Accordingly Parts A & B of the District Census Handbook of kapurfhala are presented in this Hand book. Part (A) contains the Village and Town Directory and Part (B) Village aiid Town-wise Primary Censu s Abstract. It is for the first time that data about urban areas is being presented in: a' sepanHe part "Town Direc tory" at the 1971 Census. The Village Directory presents comprehensive infornlation on various facets ofeach village. Alphabetical List of villages has also been inserted in the Handbook. 2. There are 108 towns and 12,188 inhabited villages in the Punjab State. It was, indeed, a formi dable task to collect and compile voluminous data for such a large number of units. The collection of area figures and land use data, in particular, presented serious difficulties especially when these figures somewhat differed from those given at the tahsil and district level by the Director of Land Records. We had to make several gruelling cross-checks to adopt the area figures finally for each village. 3. It was not considered necessary to have a penetrating analysis of any particular item of the data in Parts (A) and (B) of this Ha,pdbook ; this could be taken up by the Census Organisation itself or some other agency later during the inter-censal period. The census data users and scholars would perhaps feel satisfied with the statistical data being presented in this Handbook quickly on the heels of the census count in the country. 4. This Report, as at the last Census, continues to be a State Government publication as it is financed by them. Its compilation and write-up have been done by the Census Directorate at Chandigarh on behalf of the State Government. The views expressed in this are that of the State Census Organisation, which is under the direct control of the Government of India in the Ministry of Home Affairs. 5. In the collection of data, we had to take help from a large number of personnel of the State Revenue Department at the village, tahsil and district level and of the municipal staff in towns. But for their generous co-operation in filling up of the lengthy schedules regarding availability of amenities and level of development it would not have been possible to achieve the desired objectives in time. It is certainly difficult to thank sepa rately each individual functionary engaged on this project. Nevertheless we are keen to convey our profound gratitude to all those who have worked directly or indirectly on this project. At the Census Directorate, Shri S. K. Agarwal, Assistant Director, Census Operations, assisted by a team of zealous workers (Shri R. L Kalsia, Tabulation Officer, Shri N. S. Bhadauria, Statistical Assistant SjShri Malkit Singh, and Parkash Sharma, Computors) has compiled the census and administrative statistics in the form of Village and Town Directories. The initial c}fupiiation of the Villa.ge Directory was done by Shri Vishwa Mittu, S. A' under the <\b1c glljda.llc~ or sltri D. P Jain, Tabui:ttioll Officer. We LlWe a debt of gratitude to all *h~se officials for the effort and labour they have put in for the timdy production of this Handbook (v) In the Map Section, S/Shrl Madho Shyam. surinderjit singh and Kulbir Singh have done a neat 'ob in the preparation of the maps under the stewardship of Shri G.S. Gill, Tabulation Officer. Dr. B.K· koy, Map Officer, in the office of the Registrar. General, New Delhi, provided valuable guidance in the preparation of the maps. S/Shri Madan La1, and K. C. Pardesi, Stenographers, have worked hard for the l'l"oduction of the final draft on their machines. We wish to acknowledge our gratitude to all of them.
