Parts A and B are published in one volume). PREFACE Prior to the 1951 Census, there was no regular separate publication at the district level regarding the data collected, although the seeds of the District Census Handboo}(s can be traced to the '\_Cillage Lists' brought out for every dis~rict in 190.1 and 'Village Statistics'. Of. every. ~istric~ publi~he~ in 191.1 and 1941. No definite answer IS f0I!hcommg as to why such pubhca)t~ons, gIvmg village-wise mformatIon of occupied houses, break-up of population into males/females. and li~rates, were not brought out in 1921 and 1931. The reason could be transfer [rom 1921 of ceutain charges on Census p;reviously met from the provincial revenues to the Central revenues ~!ld the Government of India may not have considered it necessary to publish statistics upto the village le~el. 'Village Statistics' in 1941 were brought out by, the CeIlltral Pr~vinces and Berar Government an~ this practic7 <;>f bringing out district-wise publications at the cost of the State Government has Slllce been cont~numg. 2. The scope of the district-wise publications, now called the District Census Handb()oks, has been undergoing change with each successive Census from 1951. In 1951,. th~ District Census Handbooks ~nly contained the Pr~~ary. Ce~sus Abstract and the Census tables.. In View of the usefulness o~ separ~te publication for each. dlstn~t, Improve~ents were made _at th~ time of the 19.61 Census by ,mcludmg non-Census data llke clImate, agnculture, co-operatiOn, mdustry, educaitIOn, etc. An Introduc­ tory Note' was also added to highlight the more striking features. Unfol1tunately!. the siesire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive resulted in late availability of the books )\:0 the users. Therefore, this time the Dis_tri~t Census Handbooks have been divided into _three parts in order to release maximum data, as and when finalised, so that the publications may have a useful life of abollit seven to eight years of inter-Censal decenni~m. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Pan B the Primary Census Abstract and Part C various administrative statistics with a -chapter titled "Introducing the aistrict". It may be mellltioned here that subsequently a decision has been taken to merge Parts A and B in one volume on groun~s of economy. 3. Much of the delay in ,the publication Qf the District Census. Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collection of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office, Separation of administrative statistics and il:he decision to write the Introductory and the kind Co-operation of the State Government permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade to write th~ chapter on "Introducing the Distriat", likely to go a long way in early ,publicaJtion of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. Anotherfavourable factor this time is the early decision of the State Government to permit printing in private presses as and when Ithe work-load on the State Government Presses is heavy and likely to result in delay in the bringing out of the District Census Handbook of any distriat. It would not be out of place to point out here that the work-load in connection with Ithe District Census Handbooks is very much more this time, not only on account of wider coverage but largely due to the decision to bring out the District Census Handbooks in Hindi ~s well as English. In all, there will be 172 publications, 4 per district of which 2 will be in Hindi and 2 in English. Advance a~tion was taken this time to collect the non­ Gensus data and it is hoped that the combined volume of Pants A and B of all the 43 districts would be out by the end of 1973 and Part C of all the districts by the middle of 1975. This would be a definite improvement on ,the 1961 performance when printing of the District Census Handbooks covered the period 1964 to 1967. 4. In his Preface to Ithe 1961 District Census Handbooks, my predecessor, Shri G. Jagathpathit had observed ~hus, '.'It was not possible at this Census to base all Census statistics on the development block as the umt mamly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had be.come complete by about the middle of 1963 and ilt is not unlikely that the 1971 Census will recogr,nse the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational pur­ poses. '. It has not been possible to adopt the development block as the basic unit for operation and presentation in this Census for more than one reason. Firstly, the office of the Block Develop­ ment Officer was abolished in December, 1965; its resurrection in the form of office of the Block Development Assistant from 2-10-69 had not taken firm roots up to Ithe time field arrangements for the 1971 Census 'were. finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a unit of field arrangements has many more advan­ tages, the ?lost significant being the ready availability of that legendary functionary-the patwari-wilthout who~e actIve co· operation it would be a formidable task to determine whether a habited structure in a ,c~ltlvated field.
