Gradually through t,he decades it has also aimed at providing besides a statistical ac.count of the population surveyed, a picture of the Socio-Economic condition of the people. With this end in view, the Census authorities in India have always interested themselves, side by side with the counting of the people, at making several special studies relating to the life of the people. One of these special features of the Census of India at present is the preparation and publi cation of the District Census Handbooks. These were first published in the 1951 Census. Upto 1951, after each Census, only the list of villages along with population was published. But for the first time in 1951, general population tables, literacy tables and social and economic tables were published in the District Census Handbooks. When preliminary work on the 1961 Census started in H)59, the questiun of enlarging the coverage of subjects included in the District Handbooks was also examined. A broad sheet indicating the items on which information had to be gathered from the various Departments was circulated by the Registrar General, India, and at tbe First Conference of Superintendents of Census Operations held at Delbi towards the end of 1959, the d.elegates agreed tbat it was quite within the bounds of possibility to gather information on all the topics suggested by the Registrar General. It was agreed that the contents of the District Census Handbook, on matters of general information, should not compete with the District Gazetteers. The scope of the Village Directory included in each District Handbook has been enlarged. In a.ddition to giving the Primary Census Abstract of the village concerned, the Directory gives information about the various amenities available in the village. It is thus _possible to get from the ViJlage Directory not only information about the population and the economio activities of the people but aJso about the level of development attained by the village in regard to the provision of the various amenities. Many of the Census Tables Published in the Distr1ct Handbook furnish information down to the level of a Taluk and they may prove useful in drawing up Taluk Development PIctns. Besides the Census Tahles and Village Directory, some administrative statistics pertaining to the District concerned, have also been furnished. It was also thought that the usefulness of these volumes would be enhanced by inclusi()n of district maps and t aluk maps set in suitable squares to facilitate easy location of the villages in the taluk maps. In order that the readers may get a bird's eye-view of the cultural heritage of the State, a note on it has also been included, which though not exhaustive, should give a glimpse of our rich heritage. These handbooks have been compiled by tbe Census Organisation under the general instructions of the Registrar General. They are being printed and published by the State Government who have also approved the list of items to be included and the mode of presentation. In the course of the Census Operations, I have received assistance and co-operation from several institutions and individuals. It is impossihle for me to express my gratitude to each of them individually. However, I will be failing in my duty if I do not express my deep sense of gratitude to Sri A. Mitra, I.O.S., Registrar General, India, who has been a source of constant help, inspiration and guidance an through the Census Operations of 1961. I am also grateful to the Government of Mysore and its staff at all levels, for the unstinted co-operation extended to me in this work. BANGALORE K.
