The DCH is constantly referred to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used fOT delimitation of constituencies, formulation Of local level and regional plans and as an aid to district administration. The District Census Handbook is the only publication which provides Primary Census Abstract (peA) data upto village level for the rural areas and wardwise for each city or town. It also pro vides 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 1961 Census the scope of the DCH Was enlarged and it contained 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 and Town Directory, Part B to Village and Town PCA and Part C com prised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical 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 compilation and printing. While designing the format of 1981 DCH series some new features alongwith 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. All the ame nities except power supply in the village have been brought together in the Village Direc tory with the instruction that in case an amenity is not available in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be ':'iven. The 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 heIp 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 of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health subcentrcs, and communi tv health workers in the village have been introduced in the Village Directory with this o'bjective 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, "total popUlation and number of household~" 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 110 amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the Town Directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the MiniIllum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new viii items. A new statement on ClVlC 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 will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic ameni· ties for the improvement of slums. The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in Statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in Statement V are also added inter alia with this view.
