SHASHIDHAR Of the Indian Administrative Service Director of Census Operations, Karnataka, Bangalore Maps included in this volume are based upon Survey of India map with the permission of the Surveyor General of India The boundary of Meghalaya shown on the map of India is as interpreted from the North-eastern areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971, but has yet to be verified (applicable to India map only). The territorial waters of India extend into the sea to a distance of twelve nautical miles measured from the appropriate base line. ©Government of India Copyright, 2002 FOREWORD "Regional Divisions of India - A Cartographic Analysis", of each State and Union Territory Volume, 1991 is undertaken by the Map Division of this Office. The Project is in continuation of a similar "Occasional paper" published during the 1981 census. In this study, regions are delineated at Macro, Meso, Micro and sub-micro level in each State/Union Territory. While delineating such regions, the physio-geographic factors are taken into account. These physio-geographic factors consist of (i) Physiography; (ii) Geological Structure; (iii) Forest Coverage; (iv) Climatic conditions and (v) soils. The sub-micro regions are delineated within the district keeping in view the above physio-geographic factors. The regional boundaries delineated at different levels are retained as such. However, the jurisdictional changes at the district level during 1981-91 were added in the respective regions. A few more tables and maps on educational level of primary and secondary schools and availability of medical facilities at the villages, have been appended in this volume. This publication consists of three parts. PART I contains the brief introductory note on Regional Divisions of India along with a map of India show ing the regional boundaries at micro level. This part is common for all the States and Union Territories Volume. PART" deals with the description of Regional Divisions of each State and Union Territory. In this section, there are 22 Maps related to different themes e.g. Density, Sex Ratio, Literacy, Main workers, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, educational and medical facilities. These maps are prepared at the sub-micro level. PART III is mainly devoted to presentation of data and maps of the districts. The districts are divided into sub micro regions of the fourth order and brief analysis of each of these sub-micro regions is provided and supported by tables relating to the main demographic theme of the districts. This project is executed under the technical supervision of Or. RP. Singh, Assistant Registrar General (Map) and other officers and staff of the map Division of this office and Directorate of Census Operations of States/Union Territories. The contribution of the officers and the staff associated with this project are acknowledged separately. An effort is made to publish this volume in Compact Discs also for the convenience of the users. I hope this publication will be useful for administrators, geographers, demographers and others interested in different fields of population study. New Delhi J.K.BANTHIA Dated: 30 -1-2001 Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India (i i i) PREFACE The Regional Divisions of India 'A Cartographic Analysis' was initiated and the volumes were successfully brought out from all the States/UTs., India as a whole by RGI and all the Directorates in 1989. In this study, the villages and towns having same physio-geographical characteristics are grouped, in order to carve out viable regions at the lowest level within the districts. While delineating the sub-micro level regions, the physio-geographical factors considered are physi-ography, geology, soils, forests and climatic conditions. As the earlier publications received very good response from Planners, research scholars, geographers etc., in India and abroad. The Registrar General, India decided to publish this volume by incorporating the data of 1991 census in the existing frame of Natural Divisions carved out earlier. In the preparation of this voluminous work, I would like to place on record my appreciation of the work done by Smt. M.G.Mangala, Research Officer and her team of officials in Mapping section of this office. My thanks are due to Sri. S.R.Raghavendra Rao, Deputy Director who supervised and ensured the completion of the work. I am deeply indebted to Shri. J.K.Banthia, LA.S. Registrar General and Census Commissioner India for his valuable guidance and help extended to me in finalizing this report. I also place on record my gratitude to Smt.
