PREFACE It o<>.s been the tradition of the Census cf India to present demographic ,1<:.ta in as detailed a manner n'l possible so as to serve effectivcly the intcrests of the users of censns d2.t2.. It has also been a tradition to publish special volumes which incorporde both demogn'.phic and non-census data which arc cObsid(.rcd to b;:, of great utility. In 2.ccordancc with this prr.cticc. taluk and village tables used to be published which were, in the 1951 Census, replz.ced by the Di~trict Census Handbook series. These Handbooks replaced Part IV-Taluk Tables and Part V-Village Tables of the earlier censuses and presented a large number of tables of economic,demographic and social significr.nee for taluk" p.nd urban areas. The 1961 District Census Handbooks were improved by extending the cover­ age and a.dministrative sta.tistics were also presented for ep.eh distr:et for the preceding dec~de. The 1971 Cen'>us eontim!cs, as pmt of its Tabulation Plan, the District Census Handbook series, The District Census Handbook is presented in three parts for each District. Pl'.rt A incorporates the Town and Village Directories. Part B incorporates the Primary Census Abstracts and includes d:.:.ta, in the c:\~e of the rural areas, at the villnge level and in tht case of urban areas at the block level, P3rt C incorporates other CenSllS Tables and administrativt' statistics. For convenience, Parts A and B of the District CensllS Handbook are presented in one volume while Part C by itself is a sep~,ate volume. Eyplanatory notes have been incorporated explaining the scope and content of the various statem,'nts, column heading'>, ct '. In ?ddition, in Part B, un introduction is included wherein the chan_:\.~s in th.~ jurisdiction, if any, of the district or of tbe taluks and the changes in the number of villa:,c3 between 1961 and 1971 are explCl.ined, It would be useful to read these notes before one goes to the t3 hIes, In this volume, the district and t<~ILlk maps h,we been incorporated, These maps have been Prepared in this office on the basis of maps obtained from the competent alJthorities concerned. In the district map, to avoid crowding, the names of villages where community facilities exist have not been mentioned but their loc,),tion code numbers have been indica.ted. Similarly, in the taluk maps, villages are indicated by their Location Code numbers. For the names of the villages, one would have to refer to the p.lphabetical list of villages of each of the taluks concerned. These alpbabeticallists arc incorporated in Parts A and B of this volume. In the preparation of Part A of the District Census Handbook we have h:'.d the rep.dy and full co-oper?tion of all the Depnrtments of the State Government. Our wholehearted thanks are tendered to them gratefully, Part B is esselltially demographic in nature and has been the end product of the tabulation of the enumeration results. In the preparation of this volume we have had the benefit of the guidance and advice of Sri A. Chandra Sekhar, l.A.S., Registrl.l.r General and Census Commissioner for India, We have also been considerably assisted by the willing co-operation of Sri K. D.
