Census, a census of houses and establishments was taken in Bihar in September-October, 1960 as a part of the houselisting operation preparatory to the 1961 Census. During previous censuses also, houselisting was an essential feature but it was confined mainly to the listing of occupied census houses used as dwellings. Non-residential houses suoh as factories, workshops, schools, sarais, office premises, business houses, temples, mosques, etc., were not entered in the houselist, as the main purpose of houselisting was to locate the places of human habitation for the purpose of census enumeration. Naturally, therefore, no reliable information about housing conditions and other related matters was available to the country. With a view to filling this gap, a uniform houselist was devised on an all-India basis for the Census of 1961. It envisaged the listing of all types of houses, residential or otherwise, and the collection of certain basic details on housing. Advantage was also taken of this operation to obtain certain essential information relating to industriaL establishments, workshops and factories, 'e.g., name of the proprietor, nature of product(s), number of persons working, and kind of fuel and power, if machinery is used. The results of the housing and establishment census are being published in two parts-Part IV-A containing the report on housing and establishments (with subsidiary tables); and Part IV-B containing the main tables on housing and establishments, viz., Tables E-I, E-II, E-III, E-IV and E-V. The present volume (Part IV-B) contains the tables. It seems necessary to explain briefly the general order of presentation of the tables in this volume. Except for Table E-III, the Union Tables showing figures for the State and districts precede in each case the State Tables giving figures for Stal;e, districts, subdivisions, cities, anchals and towns with population of 50,000 or more. This has been done primarily with a view to facilitating reference by those who do not need to go into figures for smaller units. In the case of Table E-III, however, figures for the State, districts, cities and towns with population of 50,000 or more only are being presented in respect of census houses used as factories and workshops classified by industry according to the Standard Industrial Classification, power used or no power and size of employment, for rural and urban areas separately in each case. The concepts and ~efinitions have been described fully in the first part, viz., Part IV-A and the reader may find it useful to refer to these for elucidation and clarification of essential points. S.

At the 1961 Census, the Districts, Subdivisions, Cities, Anchals or Towns definition of a 'census house' was suitably With population of 50,000 or more, classified modified in order to bring all such structures by different categories according to the uses to within the ken of the census.
