Appendix D - List of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tn"bes 391 - 392 Appendix m - Publi<:ation Plan 393 - 395 (iv) FOREWORD Publication of the District c.ensus Handbooks (DCHs) was initiated after the i951 Census and . continuing since then with some innovations! modifications after each -decennial Census: This is the ~le district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State GovtJUnion rcrritory administration. It inter-alia provides datafmformation on some of the basic demographic .aoc:io-economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenitieslfacilities in village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus proved to be of immense utility to the plaDners, administrators, academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census .tables on population, economic and socio-cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and toWn (ward-wise) o,f the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a desai~ account of the district, administrative statistics. census tables and Village and Town Directories including PeA. After the 1971 Census, two parts of the District C.ensus Handbooks (Part-A comprising Village and Town Directories and Part-B comprising Village and Town PCA) were released in all the States and Union Territories. The third part, Part C of the District Census Handbooks comprising administrative statistics and district census tables, which was also to be brought out, could not be published in many· St&t:eslUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981, some new features alongwitb the restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were introduced in_ the DCHs. These were published in two parts for each district after the 1981 Census. While Part-A comprised Village and Town Directories, the PCA of villages and towns (war~-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsiJ/town level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate, all the amenities except electricity. are brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not available in the referent viIJa&e, the distance' in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Iafonnation OIl some new items such as adult literacy centres, primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the -Wlage Were provided so as to meet some of tt ~ requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. -Similarly, information on approach to the village was also provided for the first time in the Village Directory so as to giVe an idea about the number of inaccessible villages in each district. In case of _ Town Directories &1$0. keeping ,in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs Proggunme. a Statement IV:-A on slums was provided so as to enable the planners to chalk out the programmes 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 ~d Class D towns. Apart from this, one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes popwation and another on adult ~teracy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. \ The manner of p,-eselltation 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 bellefit of data users. N"me-fold industrial classifica~on 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 0-6 age-group has. also been included in PCA for th~ first _time with a view to enabling data users to compute more r~c literacy rates; .as- all children below 7 years 6f age have been treated as illiterate at "the time of tI;te 1991 Census. It is expected that the above mentioned modifications will help the planners in chalking out more effective d~velopmental programmes. (v) One of the most important innovations is the 1991 Census is the: Community Development Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsiVTaluk/PS level presentation. It is expected that the presentation of Village Directory and PCA data at C.D.Block level will help the planners in formulation of micro-level developmental plans, as the C.D.Block is the lowest administrative unit for developme!1tal planning. In order to facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use, Village DirectorylPCA data, either from the magnetic tapes/floppies or from the published records, both the computer and manual codes for' each village have been provided for the '1991 Census along with 'the corresponding codes of 1981. This publication is a joint venture of the State GovtJUT administration and the Census Organisation. The data have been collected and compiled under the direction of Ms. Sobha Nambisan, Director of Census Operations, Karnataka on behalf of the State' Govt. administration which has borne the cost of printing. The task of planning, designing and coordination of the publication was initiated by Dr.K.P.lttaman, former Deputy Registrar General (Social Studies) and Shri M.M.Dua, Joint Director. For the sake of uniformity in presentation of information/data and for preparation of analytical note depicting the salient features emerging from a micro-level, analysis of Census/non-Census data, a model District Census Handbook from each State and Union Territory was thoroughly scrutinised in the Social Studies Division under the guidance of Shri M.IUain, the present Deputy Registrar General (S.S.). This task was carried out by Shri A.K.Singh, Deputy Director who was assisted by S/Shrl V.KJain and Hariram., Investigators ana staff. Technical guidance in the preparation of the maps was initially provided by Dr.B.K.Roy. former Deputy Registrar General (Map) and later by Mrs. Minati Ghosh, the present Deputy, Registrar General (Map). I am thankful to all those who have contnouted to this project. A.R.Nanda Registrar General, India (vi) PREFACE In the foreword to the 1991 series of the District Census Handbooks, Sri AR.Nanda, lAS:, the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, bas traced the history of the District Census Handbooks. He bas also succinctly explained the scope and coverage of the District Census Handbooks. These volumes contain the salient data on the population for every village and town as revealed by the- 1991 Ce~us. They also contain a wealth of information regarding these Wlages and towns which, although not part of the population census, throw some light on the circumstances in which people live and is therefore relevant to the data on the population. This information has also considerable importance in the cont~ of planned development. The District Census Handbook is therefore divided into two parts: Part A containing information regarding each village and town (Village Directory and Town Directory) which is not census data and part B which contain.c; the data on the population collected during the 1991 Census - the Primary Census Abstract. The data published in Part B was collected in February 1991. at the time of the population census. This data was then manually tabulated in the Regional Tabulation Offices set up for the purpose.
