Earher edItIOns had appeared after tbe 1951 and tbe 1961 censuses. The present volume generally follows the pattern of its predecessors ID pTesentlDg the 1971 census tables for tbe dlstHct aDd basIc demographic, economic and general mformation for each Village therelD. Particulars of the distrIbution of populatIon down to tbe smallest administrative umt like village and town and their broad characterIstiCs are required for purposes such as delimitatIon of electoral constituencies, adjustment of admlDistratlve boundanes, educatloT a) and man power planDJog. The data provided for small areas serve as statlstlcal frames for vanous surveys tbat may be taken up. Part A of this handbook gwes informat10n relatmg to each Village and town 10 tho d1strlct. Revenue and municipal offiCIals all over the distrIct helped us 10 collecting the data for this section. Part B carries tbe 1971 pnmary census abstracts whIch present the population for each vlUage and urban block. The Items covered are area, populatIon and its sex break-up. hou'leho]ds~ occupied houses, lIteracy, scheduled ca'ltes and sqheduled tnbes, workers and non workers with a break-up of worker-; lOto broad mdustrlal categories. The populatIon figures given here have the sunCise of 1 AprIl \971 as the reference date. , / Part C. which WIll be pubhshed separately this time, win have a general note on tho phYSIcal features of the district, Its admInistrative set-up, Its demographic and soclo-economlC characterrstlcs. It wIll lOclude further census tab1es. detailed offiCIal St~18tlcs OD clImate, ratnfall. agrIculture. IDdustry~ education, health and the lIke. ' In 1941. tb~ population figures for VIllages and towns were exhibited according to com mUnitIes. in th~illage handbooks pubJtshed by the Government of Bombay. In 1951. the baSIS of census classdicatlon changed ,from a socia] to an economIc one ; census data for VIllages and towns were presented accordIng to eIght hvelthood classes ID the primary census abstracts publIsbed In the dIstrict ceosps handbooks. ThiS was the first occasIon when district census handbooks were brought out. Tbe handbooks contalDed lOformatlon about different amenities available 10 respect of each Village aDd town. During the 1961 census, the scope of the handbook was enlarged. 10 addltton to the census data In respect of each Village and town, other offiCIal statIstics for each district were made available, WJlh an tntroductory 110te explalDlOg the salJent features of the dIstrICts. The Village dtrectory published as a part of the 1961 bandbook earned baSIC census data mcJuded In the prImary census abstracts; It mdlcated the amemhes available In each Village and town by means of abbreviations. These mcluded postal, medical and educational fa cJi It les. sources of water supply and bazar day. It was found thai the prImary census abstract, whicb needed a large number of columns to present dlfferent data. allowed very little space for mforruatlon on amenIties. As a result, the dIstrict census handbook bas been dlvJded Into three parts In 1971 as mentioned above. The town and vIllage directory of 1971 (Part A) gives information OD ameDlties and faci lities avaIlable in eacb town aod vIllage 10 the dIstricts of Maharasbtra. The partIculars are presented tahsilw)se under each dIStrIct. The vdlages and towns are arranged accordlDg to tbeir census location code numbers. Tbe particulars in the village dIrectory were collected through the revenue agency of the district on a prescnbed form. For the town directory, SIX statemeots were compI'ed. State ment I contalDs the 1971 census population data compIled by the census office. The noo'" census data 10 the other statements were supphed by tbe muniCipal counCIls for their areas aod by the revenue agency for non-muDlclpal towns. For purposes of the census. districts are diVIded Into urban and TUral areas. The urban area ( towns) IS defined 10 detaIl; those areas which do not satIsfy this definitIon are treated as rural areas ( villages ). The folIowmg places have been treated as urban areas ( towns): (l) every place having a munICipality or a cantonment board Irrespective ot Its population; (2) every other place which had (0 a populatIon of at least 5,000. (Ii) at least three-fourtbs of Its male worbnl population enpged in non·agt'lcultural pUrsUitS, and (iil) • denlny of populatio. of iv tNTIlODU eTION at least 400 persons per sq. km ; (3) any other place not falling under the above two categorIes but whIch possesses certam dlstlOct charactens(1cs to quahfy for its being treated as urban such as its bemg a project area or a developing townshIp. A place IS called a village jf it does not satisfy any of the criteria prescribed above for its belDg treated as urban. A 'village' for census purposes 10 Mabarashtra has always been the 'revenue village' whIch is the ultImate unll of area 10 whIch the State IS sub-divided for land rev~nue admmistra tJOn. A few past censuses concerned themselves only With revenue Villages whIch had some populatIon and did nol take mto account deserted or uninhablted revenue vdJages. As 10 1961, a village at the 1971 census IS a revenue Village haVing well-defined boundaries, a map and a separate set of land records Irrespective of whether that defined area has any population or not and, if It has some population whether that populalJon reSides In one locahty (gaothan) or is spread over one or more Identifiable clusters of population known as wadIS. padas or mazaras (hamlets). Each revenue village has a speCified area marked as llS own and ItS boun daries With other adjoining villages have always enjoyed a tradItional sanCtity. Hamlets do not have such defined boundanes or areas dlstmctly marked or allotted to thtfm ; nor do they have any locally recogntsed status. " Revenue Villages which do not have any reSidential population are also inclUded 10 tbe 1971 census defiOltion of VIllages. They figure 10 the census Itst but are descn~d as lumn hablted to dlstmgUlsh tbem from the rem'l.lDlDg mhablted Villages. The census defimtlon of an uninhabited Village differs slightly from the revenue defimtlon of Village 10 that the latter defines an unInhabIted vIllage as one havmg a population of less than 25. '\ Wherever a revenue village situated on the outskirts of a town is wJ:lol1y or partly merged in that urban area, It has been treated 8S a separate village, The populatIon residing 10 tflat area whIch IS statutorily merged in the town limits 9as been 'treated as urban population of that town; tbe residual populatIOn. ifany, reSiding in the area outside the limits of tbe town 18 alone treated as tbe populatIon of that Village. Thu!;, a few partly merged vIllages have returned some populations. The populatIOn for all fully merged VIllages has been treated as, urban populatIon. WhIle the 1971 census vJllage IS thus completely ldentdied with the revenue village, forest VIllages make an exception. They are populatIOn centres situated wlthm reserved forest areas. TheIr population conSIsts mainly of forest labourers and their famihes. Most of them are permanent or semI-permanent localIties and may have attached cultivated areas leased out by the forest department under certam condttJons. The land records of such VIllages are not malOtalOed by the revenue department. The census lIst of villages also includes aU Inhabited forest Villages. Tahsllwise alphabetical lists of all villages and towns are printed in a separate sectIon whIch precedes part A. The dlstnct and tahSil maps show by name the dlstnct and tahsIl headquarters, otber towns and bigger VIllages. Smaller VIllages are jndlcated by locatIon code numbers. An alphabetIcal hst of villages and towns faces each map. Hilly reglons and uplands are tinted.
