'DEEP - STAMBHJ The Chandela rulers of southern U. P. were great patrons of art.

To ensure that these statistics are available to the users as soon as these are sifted and compiled, the District· Census Handbook has been divided into three parts. Thi~ is the first part of the series, the Villaw~ and Town Directory, which mostly comprises Non-census data. We are deeply indebted to the State Government for their ever willing and prompt help to us at all stages. The District Census Handbooks are being published by us on their behalf. I wish to expr€'s~ my gratitude to Sri M. Lal, Chief Secretary to U. P. Government, for all the guidance and facilities afforded to uS in the conduct of Census in this State. I am also grateful to Sri P. C. Pandey, Secretary, G. A. D. (Now Commi­ ssioner, Rohilkhand Division, Bareilly) and his successor, Sri A. Po Dixit, for th€' facilities given by them in sorting out various administrative matters relating to the publication of these Handbooks. I am extremely thankful to the District Officers for their whole hearted co-operation in furnishing the desired information and the District Census Officers for their hard work and sustained efforts in collecting the same, The programme for the printing of District Census Handbooks has been heavy indeed, more so as three parts are being published, one in Hindi and two in English. The arrangements, made by Sri A. Dar, Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P., Allahabad for the printing of these volumes, are thankfully acknowleOdged. Joint Superintendent, SriJ. S. Gupta, In-charge New Government Press, Aisbbagh, Lucknow has also been extremely helpful in bringing out the maps. In the Census Office, everyone has done something for this stupendous task of compilation and collation of statistics, preparation of notes and reading of proofs. I am grateful to Sri K. S.

SINHA Lucknow pirector of Census Operations Dated ~: October 3, 1972, Uttar Pradesh. INTRODUCTORY NOTE 1. History or District Census Handbook. It has been customary to bring out vital statistic;s at most of the Censuses. A list showing the population of villages in each district was publishl'd after the 1891 Census. Such information was, however, not brought out in 1901, Village Directories were prep'l.red for all districts in 1911, but could be published only for thirteen due to the out break of the First World War. At the 1921 Census, these were published for all districts in the f')rm ~f District Census Statistics. 1931 villagewise statistics were compiled but could not be published owing to financial stringency, resulting in loss of valuable data. At the 1941 Census, restricted tabulation wac; undertaken in the wake of the Second W0rld War, but the utility of Census statistics, was recognised and the'le were published. The District Census Handbook in its present form was brought out at the 1951 Census, and was publi­ shed along with another volume titled District Population Statistics. In 1961 CensU5, att­ empts were made to render the District Census Handbook more informative, as in addition to Census data pertaining to each village, data about its level of development and ameni­ ties were also collected. At the 1971 Census, efforts have b~en made to compile both Census and Non-census statistics at village/town level in a uniform manner with an enlarged scope. As the District Census Handbook makes Census statistic~ availabl!:' for the smaller territorial units, it is constantly referred to for several purposes of administration, demar­ cation of el!:'ctoral constituencies, planning and development and so on. To ensure that these statistics are available to the users early, the District Census Handbook has been divided for being published separately into three parts Part A : Town and Village Directory. Part B : Village and Town-wise Primary Census Abstract. Part C : Analytical Report and Administrative Statements-District Census Tables. 2. Scope of District Census Handbook. Part A of the Handbook comprises the Town and Village Directory. In Village Directory, particulars of amenities in regard to Education, Medical, Power supply, drinking water supply, Post and telegraph and Communication!> h~ve been given. Besides, it con· tains land-use statistics, days of weekly market~ an~ place'! of religous, historical or archa­ eological interest in each village. The Town Directory comprising seven statements throws light on the status of the town, its origin, growth of population, functional category, location and physical aspects, Municipal finances, Civic and other amenities, Medical and Education facilities and statistics pertaining to Trade, Commerc~, Industry and Banking. Apart from these, it also gives the distribution of population of a town by religion and Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Part B represents data down to village level for rural area and block level for towns. It contains the Primary Census Abstract which incorporates figures of area, number of occupied residential houses and househOlds, total population and its break-up by sex, scheduled caste and scheduled tribe, literate population, working population bv nine broad industrial categories of cultivators, agricultural labourers, workers engaged in forestry and live stock etc., in mining and quarrying, in manufacture or repair, in construction, in trade and commerce, in transport and communications and in oth(:'f services as well as the non-worKing population. ( iv ) Part C deals with the administrative stathtics pertaining to the district in all fields or development. The Census tables pertaining to language, religion, migration and economic activities are being reproduced in this part. A write up indicating changes it) socio­ economic and demographic characteristics of the district during the last decade is also being included in it. 3. Town Di~ectJ:oy-given in Part A presents data for all the Census towns of the district. There is no uniformly acceped d!:'finiti0n af a town.
