FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCB), compiled by the census organi sation on behalf of the State Governments, is one of the most valuable pro ducts of the Census. The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, adminis trators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local 1evel 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 the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also provides data on in frastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The District Census Handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important cenSBS tables and PCA for each viHage and town of the district. During 1961 Census, the scope of the DCH was enlarged and it con tai11ed 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 ~nd to\vn d::-cc~o;'y, Part~ B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, adminis trative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on peA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states, it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether giv _"! up due to delay in compliation 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. An the amenities except power supply in the vilIage have been brought together in the village directory. with the instruction that in case an £lmenity is not available in the referrent 'Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. Tb.e 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 oi the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the vilIa~c 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, Htotal population and number of households" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with the popUlation and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices, listing the villages where no amenities are available and accor ding to the proportion of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe pOlJulation to the total population, has also been made with this view in mind. !he formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet th~ requlfements ~f the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new Items. A new statement on CIvic and other amenities 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 wil1 help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. Iv The columns on Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population in state ment IV relating to civ:ic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centreS under educational facilities in statement V are also added inter alia with tliis view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into considerationt 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 Individual Slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay in publication of 1981 DCH series, it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains viHage and town directory and Part-R the PCA of villages and towns, including the Scheduled Castes and Sch€d'Jled Tribes PCA upto Taluk/Town level. At the beginning of the DCR, a detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non-census data in relation to the infrastructure has been intro duced to enhance its value. The district and taluk level maP'», depicting the boundaries and other important features. have been inserted at appropriate places to further enhance the value of the publication. This publication is a joint venture of the State Government and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled ill the State under the direction of Shri A. P. Muthuswami. I. A. S., the Director of Census Operations, Tamil Nadu on behalf of the State Government which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Shri N.
