List of Publications and List of Agents I-X N.B . Maps of District Census Hand Books could not be incorporafed dlle' to unaVOidable reasons.Maps of District Censlls /land Books Will be published separately as supplement to the respective District Census Hand Book. FOREWORD Publication of the District Census Handbooks (DCHs) was initiated after the 1951 Census and is continuing since then with some innovations/modifications after each decennial Census. This is the most valuable district level publication brought out by the Census Organisation on behalf of each State Govt.lUnion Territory administration. It Inter-alia provides data/information on some of the basic demographic and socio- economic characteristics and on the availability of certain important civic amenities/facilities in each village and town of the respective districts. This publication has thus pr<;>vM to be of immense utility to the planners. administrators. academicians and researchers. The scope of the DCH was initially confined to certain important census tables on population. economic andsocio -cultural aspects as also the Primary Census Abstract (PCA) of each village and town (ward-wise) of the district. The DCHs published after the 1961 Census contained a descriptive account of the district, administrat",e statistics, census tables and Village and Town Directories including PCA. After the 1971 Census. two parts of the District Census 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 (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 could not be published in many StateslUTs due to considerable delay in compilation of relevant material. In 1981. some new features alongwith 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 (ward-wise) including Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe PCA upto tehsiVtown level were provided in Part-B. To illustrate. all the amenities except electricity. were brought together in the Village Directory and if an amenity was not avaliable in the referrent village. the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such amenity was given. Information on some new items such as adult literacy centres. primary health sub-centres and community health workers in the village were provided so as to meet some of the requirements of the the Revised Minimum Needs Programme. Simifarly. 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 also. keeping in view the requirements of the Minimum Needs programme. 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 and class'li towns. Apart from this. one column on the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes population and another on adult literacy classes/centres were added in Statements IV and V respectively. The manner of presentation of the DCHs for the 1991Census 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 benefit of data users. Nine-fold industrial classification 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 the first time with a view to enabling data users to compute more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterate at the time of the 1991 Census. It is expected that above mentioned modification will help the planners in' chalking out more effective developmental programmes. One of the most important innovations in the 1991 Census is the Community Develop­ ment Block-level presentation of data in the Village Directory and PCA instead of the traditional TahsiVTalukiPS 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 developmental planning. ii In orderto facilitate the task of administrators, planners and researchers intending to use village Directory/PCA 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 alongwith the corresponding codes of 1981.

These phyla encompass a minimum of 11, but probably 15 or even more mutually unintelligible languages, all showing considerable internal dialect variation. Previous literature provided largely incomplete or incorrect accounts of these phyla. Based on recent field research, this article discusses in detail the several languages of four phyla whose speakers are included in the Monpa Scheduled Tribe, providing the most accurate speaker data, geographical distribution, internal variation and degree of endangerment. The article also provides some insights into the historical background of the area and the impact this has had on the distribution of the ethnolinguistic groups. Keywords: Arunachal Pradesh, Tibeto-Burman, Trans-Himalayan, Monpa 1. INTRODUCTION Arunachal Pradesh is ethnically and linguistically the most diverse state of India.

  • History of Project Vartak
    Brig JS Ishar Chief Engineer HISTORY OF PROJECT VARTAK The Beginning 1. During the second meeting of BRDB on 13 May 1960, late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister directed that the work on the construction of Road Bhalukpong- Tenga should commence on 01 Jun 1960. Accordingly, Project Tusker was raised on 07 May 1960. Thus Project Tusker was the first in Border Roads Organisation to commence road construction activity. 2. Project Tusker was also made responsible for the maintenance of road Missamari- Foothills-Chaku-Tenga, which had been constructed by PWD. Elephant Gate: Entry To Bomdila-Tawang Road 3. Work on the improvement of the Road Bhalukpong-Tenga-Bomdila was continued by 14 BRTF, which was raised in early 1962. The most difficult stretch on this high priority road was between Sessa and Bomdila. The task was completed in 6 months and the road was made trafficable by Oct 1962. Further improvements continued. Shri YB Chavan, the then Defence Minister formally opened the road in Apr 1963. 4. In 1962, a jeepable track Bomdila-Dirang-Sela-Tawang was also attempted. A Signals Task Force was raised for laying of telephone lines for Bomdila-Tawang, North Lakhimpur-Lekhabali-Along, Kimin-Ziro and Along-Daporijo sector. Initial Problems 5. During the initial induction of the Project, there were many teething problems. Maj Gen OM Mani, the first Chief Engineer (then Brigadier) of the Project later recalled:- “The Administrative Offices functioned under the cover of tarpaulins spread over bamboos. The office furniture comprised of a few packing cases and even these were in short supply.

  • Birds Don't Give a Dam: the Politics of Hydropower Development And
    Birds don’t give a Dam: The politics of Hydropower Development and Wildlife Conservation in Arunachal Pradesh by Titash Choudhury A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta ©Titash Choudhury, 2017 Abstract Over the last decade, Arunachal Pradesh, or the larger region known as Northeast Himalayas, has not only become a potential energy frontier to meet India’s surging energy demands, but an opportunity for those in the state seeking political and financial independence. Dams are celebrated and endorsed as a ‘clean” and “renewable” energy sources that ensure sustainable development, and politicians and major corporations are making promises of great economic benefits and job opportunities arising from these projects. However, rapid development, lack of appropriate consultation, and the deficiencies of environmental and social impact assessment have provoked political and social debates in the region. Simultaneously, since the region is known to be biodiversity rich and geographically fragile, the impacts of the developmental activities has raised concerns among wildlife biologists, ecologists and experts regarding the potential negative impacts on ecology, economy, and society. In this discourse of energy development, deteriorating ecosystem integrity, and heightened vulnerability, Arunachal Pradesh is increasingly being represented as a place of economic opportunities for both region and nation, but also of risks and vulnerabilities.
