Jalangi Police Station 301 :FOREWORD The" District Census Randbook (DCR), comphed by the Census Organisation on behalf of the State Governments, is one of the most valuable products of the Census. The DCR is cOnstantly referrea to by planners, administrators, academicians and researchers. It is inter alia used for delimitation of constituencies, formulation of local level and regional plans and as an aid to District administration. The district census handboo~ is the only pUblication which provides Primary Census Abstra~t (PCA) data upto village level for the rural areas and ward wise for eacl:t city or town. It also provides data on infrastructure and amenities in villages and towns, etc. The district census, handbook series was initiated during the 1951 Census. It contained important census tables and PCA for each village and town of the district. During 1961 Census the scope of the DCR was enlarged and it contained a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and a village and town directory, including PCA. The 1971 DCR series was planned in three parts .. Part-A related'to village arid town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, adminisirath:e statis tics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. However, in some states it was confined to district census tables and in a few cases altogether given up due to delay in compilation and printing. While designing the forinat of 1981 DCH series some new features along with the restructuring of the formats of village and town directory have been attempted. At the same time, comparability with the 1971 data has also been kept in view. ~ll the amenities except power supply in the village" have been brought together in the village directory with the ins truction that in case an amenity is not avai'able in the referrent village the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place where the amenity is available may be given. The restructuring of the format of the village directory and incorporating more exhaustive data on infrastructure aspect particularly in relation to amenities and land-use pattern is expected to further meet the need of micro level planning for rural areas. It is expected to help not only in local area plan ning but regulating the provision of goods and services as well so as to minimise the regional imb~lances in the process of development. A few new items of information have also been introduced to meet some of the requirements of the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Such new items of information as adult literacy centres, primary health subcentre~, and commu nity health workers in the village have been introduced in the village directory with this objec tive in mind. The new item on approach to the village is to have an idea about the vH1ages in the district which are inaccessible. Anew column, "total population and number of house holds" has been introduced to examine the correlation of the amenities with ~he popUlation and number of households they serve. Addition of two more appendices listing the villages where no amenities are available and according to the proportion of scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population to the total population has also been made with this view in mind. The formats of the tewn directory have also been modified to meet the requirements of the Minimum Needs Programme by providing information on a few new items. A new state " ment on civic arid other amenities in slums in Class-I and Class-II towns (Statement IV-A) has ( Vlll ) been introduced with this objective in mind. It is expected that this will help the planners to chalk out programmes on provision of civic amenities for the improvement of slums. 'The columns on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population in statement IV relating to civic and other amenities and adult literacy classes/centres under educational facilities in statement V are also added inter alia with this view. A significant addition is class of town in all the seven statements of the town directory. The infrastructure of amenities in urban areas of the country can be best analysed by taking the class of towns into consideration. The addition of the columns of civic administration status and population in a few statements also ~erves this purpose, The format of the primary census abstract for the villages and towns has been formu lated in the light of changes in the economic and other questions canvassed through the indivi dual slip of 1981 Census. In order to avoid delay ill publication of 1981 DCH series it has been so designed that Part-A of the volume contains village and town directory and Part-B, the PCA of villages and towns including the Scheduled Castes and 'Scheduled Tribes PCA lipto Police Station/Town levels. At the beginning of the DCH a .detailed analytical note supported by a number of inset tables based on PCA and non census data in relation to the infrastructure has been introduc;ed to enhance its value.
