The scope of tabulation of Census data is limitless. But the focus has always been to produce basic data as quickly as possible and in readily usable form. The present publication i.e. part IT-A contains A-series Tables together with several appendices and inset tables generated from the basic data presented In State/District Primary Census Abstract. The particulars of A-SerIes Tables included in this Volume is as under: Table A-I Number of Villages, Towns, Households, Population and Area. Table A-2 Decadal Variation in Population Since 1901 Table A-3 Villages by Population size Class Table A-4 Towns and Urban Agglomerations Classified by Population size class in 2001 with variation since 190 l. The final population data and its basic characteristics presented in this publication is based on the processing, editing and tabulation of actual data captured through household schedule at the Population Enumeration phase of Census of India 2001. The generation of Primary Census Abstract for the Census of India 2001 was a fully computerized exercise starting with the automatic capture of data through scanning of the Household Schedule to the compilation of Primary Census Abstract. In the 1991 Census, the final population totals and their basic characteristics at the lowest geographical levels. popularly known as the village/town Primary Census Abstract was compiled manually in 8 Regional Tabulation Offices established for this purpose in Gujarat State. In these Tabulation Offices, the Primary Census Abstract was generated at the village level for rural areas and town/ward level for urban areas by manual tabulation from the Household Schedule. For processing the huge volume of data collected at the Census of India 2001, a major technological change in the vital activity of data extraction (i.e. extracting information recorded on the Census forms and creating associated computer data files) was introduced, so as to fully computerize the subsequent processing activities of data pertaining to Census of India 2001. The Primary Census Abstract publication is brought out by Office of the Registrar General India (ORGI) centrally. A Series tables presented in this publication have been compiled on the basis of figures given in the Primary Census Abstracts. The compilation and tabulation of the data of A-Series Tables have involved a considerable amount of work which was ably completed by the Census Section of the Director of Census Operations. I am deeply indebted to Shri D. K. Sikri Additional Secretary (RGI) for his inspiration, valuable instructions and guidance received from time to time. I am also thankful to Shri K. N. Unni. Ex. Deputy Registrar General (C&T), Shri Anand Kumar. v Joint Director and Shri Jagan Lal, Deputy Director of Census Division of Registrar General's Office in the matter of presentati~n and finalisation of these tables from time to time.

Thus, 2001 Census while providing data on population and its characteristics will also made a transition from one century and millennium to another. This data will form the benchmark for framing of the welfare and development policies for the human beings living in this Country. Tili 1931, census was a one night affair which mainly aimed at presenting a snapshot of the country's population. But since 1941 and upto 1991 Census, count was staggered and enumeration was being done on Individual Slips. However, in 2001 enumeration has been done on Household Schedules. The questionnaire has thus gone on changing according to the changing needs and requirements of the society and the country. As a general rule, every person has to be enumerated at his normal place of residence, except those who are away from their normal places of residence through out the period of count. These persons have been enumerated at the place where they were first found by an enumerator during the enumeration period or during his revisional round. Houseless persons have been to be th enumerated at the places they were found on the night of 28 February, 2001. The Census Act, 1948, forms the legal basis for conduct of population censuses in independent India. As in the past, the Census of India, 2001 has been conducted in two phases. During the first phase, the Houselisting Operation was conducted between April to September 2000. The second phase of census i e.
