The State-level Town birectory was brought out for the first time after the 1971 Census. The tradition of compilation of such a Directory after every census 1$ continuing since tllen with some minor modifications. It Ilrovldes basic data on demographic, economic, social and cultural aspects In respect of each town In a state. This publication has In fact proved to be of immense utility to planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The basic frame of the Town Directory of 1991 series is more or less the same as in the case of earlier censuses. The Town Directory Is divided Into two sections: Section-A, besides providing primary census abstract, contains an analytical note, the town directory covering 7 statements (I-VI and IV~A) and a few appendices. The statements No. I to VI provide for each town information on the origin and .growth history of population, physical aspects, latest position regarding municipal financ;e, civic, medical, educational, recreational and cultural facilities available In the town as a whole as also details on trade, commerce, industry and banking Institutions etc. Statement IV-A introduced for the first time In 1981 Census provides information on the availability of civic and other amenities in the notified slums of the cities and large towns having 50,000 or more population each. Section-B contains a number of important maps including maps on land-use pattern. It Is hoped that the present volume will be useful to the Central/State Government departments, district administrations, local bodies etc. In micro-level planning and administration of the urban areas and for preparing the development plans In relation to their hinterland. The maps on land-use which present morphology of the towns are expected to be helpful to the town planners for working out balanced, well Integrated and farsighted developmental plans. The data for the town directory have been corrected and compiled pafnstakingly in the Census Directorate by a team of devoted workers led by Shri Deba Nanda Chuti3, A.C.S., Deputy Director under the direction of Shrl N.C. Dutta. I.A.S., Director of Census Operations, Assam. These data were collected through local administration and various concerned departments of t'he State Government. The task of planning, finalisation and coordination of ihis publication was carried out centrally by Dr. M.K. Jain, Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) of my office. Smt. Mlnati Ghosh, Deputy Registrar General (Map), provided the technical guidance in the preparation of the maps. The draft manuscript compiled in the Census Directorate has been scrutinised in the Social Studies Division at the headquarters by Shri J.P. Joshi, Investigator under the guidance of Dr. I.C. Agrawal, Senior Research Officer. I thank all other officers who have contributed to this project.

PREFACE

This directory would have been most appropriately prefaced by my predecessor, Shri N.C. Dutta, I.A.S. (Retd.}.1 who had ably piloted the 1991 Census Operations In Assam to Its successful end. His vast and thorough knowledge of the state had been of immense help while tabulating complicated n~n-ceruus data done under his direct supervision. What was left for me after I took over charge when he.. 'retired from service on 30/4/93 was drafting of the analytical note. I extend my warmest thanks ~nd appreciation to him. This volume is the third in the series, though in 1981 it had to be brought out without population figures due to the 1981 Census-being inoperative in the state on account of the distllrbed condition at that time. The volume may prove useful and informative fOF planners, administrators, research workers, academicians, etcetera. It throws ample light on the various facts," aspects and trends of the process of urbanization in the state which Is usually cohorted by problems of housing, water supply, sanitation, etcetera. Co-operation and assistance of a high order was generously given by all the civic administrations of the statutory towns and 'by the districtlsubdivisional authorities in case of non-statutory towns. They had all supplied us with the requisite data that fill the columns of statements I to VI. My sincere thanks go to them all. Constant technkal advice and guidance were provided by Shri A.R. Nanda, Registrar General, Indial Dr. M.K. Jain, Deputy Registrar General (S.~.) and Smt. Minoti Ghosh, Deputy Registrar General (Map). My deep gratitude goes to them all. In my office, painstaking endeavour made by Dr. Sunil Kumar Barua, Investigator in preparing the first draft and the unstinted effort displayed by Shri A. Pyrtuh, Deputy Director of Census Operations in editing, redrafting and scrutinizing all the inset tables and the statements incorporated in the volume are highly appreciated. The wonderful sincerity and devotion exhibited by the, staff of the Social Studies Section, partlfularly S/Shri "Ranjan Goswami, Indrajit Das, Computors and Mohan Rajkhowa, Aboni Borthakur, A$sistant Compilers who had done the entire tabulation, under the guidance and supervision of Dr. S.K.

The urban population of the country, however, keeps on increasing Table-1 shows the growth of population in Assam unabate from 25,851,873 In 1901 to 217,611,012 vis-a-vis that of the country during the last nine decades in 1991. - from 1901 to 1991.
