PREFACE

It may be recalled that immediately after the census operations in March 1981, I brought out Paper-l of 1981 and its Supplement in which Provisional Population particulars of 1981 Census were presented.

Now, that the final figures of 1981 Census population and some of its characteristics are made available through this booklet. Data relating to the population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are also given separately. The informations are presented at district, taluk and town levels. This is intended to meet the urgent macro-level needs of the data users.
