(ii) Part II-C-Cultural & Migration Tables tiii)--(iT) PREFAdE in this report, the cultural tables will relate to family composition of sample households (based on 20 per cent sample), age and marital status, age and educational level, single year ages, mother tongues, bilingu8.lism, religion and Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes separately classified by illiterates and literates and educated persons and by the nine indus trial categories of workers and non-workers. The table on age and edu ca tion will contain an appendix giving the tables for the special Census of Scientific and Technical Personnel. The migration Tables will give classification of non-Indian nationals by nationality, distribution of population by place of birth, migrants classified by place of birth and duration of residence in place of enumera tion and distribution of industrial categories of workers and non-workers by place of birth. Sometimes my readers would feel that the 1961 Census was over quite a few years ago and the volume is coming out now. I beg of them to realise that after a population count is over, it takes anything from 18 months to 2 years to tabulate all the information which was to be used in nearly 30 publications. That was thoroughly checked in the Tabulation Office and by the Linguist in Calcutta. Then we sent this to the Press. At times we had to make some additions which were inevitable to bring out a comprehensive report. This was the work in which hundreds of my colleagues during all these years-sorters, supervisors and other tabulation staff had to labour very hard day-after-day. 1\1 y first and foremost acknowledgement goes to Shri Asok Mitra, ICS, Registrar General, India, who had shown very great interest, gui dance and sympathy. Then the Deputy Registrar Ge,neral, India, Shri D. Natarajan, had always found a sQlution in his unassuming ways. Shri K. D. Ballal, Central Tabulation Officer and his colleagues who with utmost patience looked through our tables carefully. Shri R. C. Nigam, Linguistic, India had shown the indefatigable can dour in his knowledge as a linguist and been of very great help. (v) As for my colleagues here, they were labouring ceaselessly; toiling over years under the greatest pressure. I have a very sincere gratitude 9 nd admiration for them. This small group of devoted colleagues was lead by Shri Durga Singh, my colleague for 80 many years who had shown quite a'phenomenal patience s.nd consideration. The very hard working Bishan Dass, S. S. Sarwal, S.P. Shabi and Roop Chand Sharma remained devoted in their works over long years...... The typists Jamit Singh, Krishan Chand, Des Raj Khanna and Jagdish Chander Gautam had to type and re-type for one reas~n or the other and they,toiled over long hours and On holidays, Then my stenographers Ram Swaroop, Bajaj and P. C. Bali had to sit late hours and to come on holidays, to them and to Onkar Nath Bhutani, Prem Nath Sharma, Om Prakash and li'aram Chand, Proof Readers, who also rose to the occasion of work, i owe my gra.titude. Apart from my colleagues I take this opportunity of conveying my warm gratitudes to Shri P .S. Ramchandran who was at one time Manager of Government of India Press, Simla, his s:uccessor Shri K. Jankiraman, the Assistant Manager Shri Mudaliar and to their junior colleagues, who did their best to make our publica.tions attractive. I hope this volume IS profusely referred to and adequately used by Administrators, Planners and Scholars. RAM CHANDRA PAL SING~ "BOMWELL", SIYL.&.-5.
