Bloc)t/Townwtse. : 678 -739 v FOREW'ORD Publication of the District Cens-..ls Handbooks (DCHs) was initia.ted after the 195] Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/modifications after each decennial Census. 'Ihis is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation qn behalf of each State Govt./Union Territory' adIninistration. It inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic Gemographic and socio economic characteristics and on the availability of certain. important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility ~o the plan.n.ers~ administrators. academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain inlportant census tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of ·the district administrative statistics. census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA After the 1971 Census. two parts of the District Cens':ls Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Dtrectort~s and Part-B cotnprtsJng Village and Town PeA) 'Were.released in an the States and Union Territories. The third Part (C) of the District Cen$us Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and diStrict census tables. 'W~ch was also to be brought out. could not be published in many States/UTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981. some new features 'alongwith the restructuring of the formats of Villages and Town Directory were introduced in the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. WhUe Part-A,co~prised Village and Town DirectOries. the PCA oCvtllages and towns (warti-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsn/town level 'Were provided in Part-B. To illustrate. aIr the amenities except electricity. were brought together in the Village Directoxy and if an amenity was not available in the referent village. the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult llteracy centres, primary health sub-centre~ and community health 'Workers in the village "Were provided so as to meet some of the requirements VII of the Revised IVIinimUln Needs Programme. Similarly. information on approacl: to the village vvas also provided for the Urst time during 19B 1 census in the Village Directory so as to give an idea "about the number of inaccessible villages in. each district. In case of Town Directories also. keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme. a Statement IV-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the pr-ogrammes for providing better civic and other amenities in the slums. In this statement details on civic and other amenities were reported for the slums of Class I and Class II towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991 Census is by and large the same as followed in 1981. However. the format of PCA has been restructured slightly in the 1991 Census for the benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given as against four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition to this, the sex-wise population in the o-s age-group has also been included in PCA for the fIrst time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned motlifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and peA instead of the -traditional Tahasil/Taluk/PS level presen-tation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and peA data at C.D. Block level will help the 2lanners in'formulation of micro-Ievei developmental plans. as the C.D. Block is the low-est administrative unit for developmental planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators. planners and researchers intending to use Village Directory/PCA data.
