The data presented is on cent per cent basis. Part II-A of the volume contains five A series tables and Part Il-B contains the primary census abstract. The new feature for Part II-B is the primary census abstract generated for scheduled castes. There is no scheduled tribe abstract for the union territory since scheduled tribe is not recognized in the absence of the tribe in Pondicherry. [ will be failing in my duty if I do not record the unstinted services of Shri D. Santhanam, Assistant Director of Census Operations who was in charge of the censils, He managed well the field operations and also the tabulation unit. 1 thank Sarvashri S. Somasundaram, Statistical As~istant, Philomen Ambrose and S. Venkatesh, Computors who contributed for the preparation/check up of tables and statements. The maps/charts for this publication had been prepared by Shri J. Sounder, Draughtsman. 1 wish to ~x press nly deep sense of gratitude to Shri P. Padmanabha, 1. A. S. Registrar General, India for his valuable guidance and for having given me an opportunity to bring out this volume. Pondic herry. P. L. SAMY, I. A. S., June, 1983 Director of Census Operations. SL.
