"Regional Divisions of India - A Cartographic Analysis" of each State and Union Territory Volume, 1991 is undertaken by the Map Division of this office. The project is in continuation of a similar 'Occasional Paper' published during the 1981 Census. In this study, regions are delineated at macro, meso, micro and sub-micro level in each state/ union territory. while delineating such regions, the physio-geographic factors are taken into account. These physio-geographic factors consist Q( (i) Physiography; (ii) Geological structure; (iii) Forest coverage; (iv) Climatic conditions and (v) soils. The sub-micro regions are delineated within the district keeping in view the above physio-geographic factors. The regional boundaries delineated earlier at different levels are retained as such. however, the jurisdictional changes at the district level during 1981-91 were added in the respective regions. A few more tables and maps on educational level of primary and secondary schools and availability of medical facilities at the villages, have been appended in this volume.
This publication consists of three parts. Part I contains the brief introductory note on Regional Divisions of India along with a map of India showing the regional boundaries at micro level. This part is common for all the States and Union Territories Volume. Part II deals with the description of Regional Divisions of each State and Union Territory. In this section, there are nearly 21 maps related to different themes e.g. density, sex ratio, growth of population, workers, literacy and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. These maps are prepared at the sub-micro level. Part III is mainly devoted to presentation of data and maps of the districts. The districts are divided into sub-micro regions of the fourth order and brief analysis of each of these sub-micro regions is written and supported by tables relating to the main demographic theme of the districts.
This project is executed under the technical supervision of Dr. RP. Singh, Assistant Registrar General (Map) and other officers and staff of the Map Division of this office and Directorates of Census Operations of StateslUnion Territories. The officers and the staff associated with this project are acknowledged separately. An effort is made to publish this volume on Compact Discs also for the convenience of the users. I hope this publication will be useful for administrators, geographers, demographers and others interested in different fields of popUlation study.

PREFACE
Maiden attempt was made to bring out this publication at StatelUnion Territory level in the history of Census Organisation in 1981 Census wherein the sub-micro regions at district level were delineated, so that it would serve as a useful framework for administrators, planners, scholars and other data users for area specific planning. The efforts of Census Organisation was highly appreciated by the data using agencies and hence it was decided to continue the pUblication in 1991 Census. The present study is in continuation of 1981 project and incorporates more data tables and maps on workers, non workers, with ruraVurban break-up, the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and literates at sub-micro level. The 1981 report contained the data on population and density only.
While delineating the whole country into second order region, viz., Meso region, the entire state of Gujarat has been placed under the Gujarat Plain. It forms part of the first order region, i.e, Macro region called 'The Coastal Plains and Islands'. On the basis of the homogenetic characteristics, state has been further divided into 4 micro regions and 92 sub-micro regions at district level. All these regions are inhabited.
The present pUblication has been divided into three parts. The first part indicates the general note on Regional Divisions of India, including map and statement upto 3rd order regions at all India level. This part has been finalised by the Map Division at the Headquarters. The second part deals with the brief description of regionalisation in the state, along with map and data table highlighting regions upto 4th tier hierarchical order. In addition, 19 state level maps on various themes like physical, popUlation, sex ratio, literacy, percentage of the scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes popUlation, working population as main workers in the region have also been incorporated in this portion. The last part presents the brief analysis of regions on each district and is also supported by various data tables. This volume will help in comparative study of various development during 1991- 2001.
In my own office, the entire work of this volume was carried out by the staff of Map Section headed by Shri Ch. Rajeev, Sr. Geographer under the able supervision of Shri J.P. Purohit, Research Officer (Map). A list of the staff closely associated with this publication is given separately. I express my appreciation to all of them. I am sincere thankful to Shri N.R. Varsani, Ex-Director of Census Operations for conducting smooth and successful of 1991 Census Operations (v) The whole work of this project was done under the able guidance of Shri. Babu Lal, Joint Director of Census Operations. I am indebted to him.
I express my deepest sense of gratitude to Shri A.R. Nanda, Ex Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and his worthy successors Dr. Vijayanunni and Shri. J.K. Banthia who encouraged me time and again in bringing out this publication. I am sincere thankful to Dr. R.P. Singh, Assistant Registrar General (Map) for providing technical guidance in the execution of this volume.
I shall feel my endeavours suitably rewarded if this publication proves useful to the planners, administrators, scholars and other data users. This volume is also available on CD.

Accordingly they purposes but must have homogeneous divided the country into traditional characteristics.
