Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (i) Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes 244-245 (ii) Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Tribes 246-247 Foreword The district census handbook (DCH), compiled by the Census Organi­ sation on behalf of the State Government, is one of the most valuable products of the Census. The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for deli­ mitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an a:d 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 infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and'town of the district. During i96l Census the scope of the DCH was enlarged and, it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics,,1:ensus tC}bles and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCH series -was planned in three parts. Part-A related to village and town direc­ tory. Part· B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analyticaJ tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a. few cases altogether given up due to delay in compi~ation 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 bee attempted. At the saQ'le time, comparability with the 1971 data has alsoJ been kept in view. All 'tbe amenities except power supp'Jy in the village have been brought together in the village dire((tory with the instruction that in case an a,menity is 'not available in the referrent \tillage the distance in broad ranges frofTl the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and (ncorpo­ rating more exhaustive data on infra'structwe 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 pr.ocess of development. A few ·new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the re· quirments of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme, Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and commu­ nity health workers in the village have been introduced in the village direc­ t~ry with this C?bjective in mind. The new item on approach to the village 'is to have an idea about the village in the district which ate inaccessible. A ~new column, "total population and number of household~" has been intro¥ duced to examIne the correlation of the amenities with the population and -number of housholds they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has aiso been made witn this view in mind. The formats of the town directory have also been modified to meet the requiremen!s of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on 'a few new items. A new statement on civic and other amenities in slums :jn '-Class-i and class-II towns (Statement-IVA) has been introduced with ...

No part of this book may be reproduced or utilised in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, without prior permission from the publisher. Copyright © Strategic Foresight Group 2013 ISBN 978-81-88262-19-9 Design and production by MadderRed Printed at Mail Order Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India PREFACE At the superficial level, relations between India and Bangladesh seem to be sailing through troubled waters. The failure to sign the Teesta River Agreement is apparently the most visible example of the failure of reason in the relations between the two countries. What is apparent is often not real. Behind the cacophony of critics, the Governments of the two countries have been working diligently to establish sound foundation for constructive relationship between the two countries. There is a positive momentum. There are also difficulties, but they are surmountable. The reason why the Teesta River Agreement has not been signed is that seasonal variations reduce the flow of the river to less than 1 BCM per month during the lean season. This creates difficulties for the mainly agrarian and poor population of the northern districts of West Bengal province in India and the north-western districts of Bangladesh. There is temptation to argue for maximum allocation of the water flow to secure access to water in the lean season.
