District C-eD.SUSi Ha.!nl.dbook
District Census Handbook is being brought out in two volumes-Part A and Part B for each district separately. The Part 'A' volume consists of village & town directories, giving basic information relating to infra-structure and amenities and total population of each village and town as thrown up by 1981 Census. The non-census information relates to, the year 1979-801 1980-81, making it almost synchronous with the 1981 populatiun census. Part 'B' volume presents primary census data, known in census jargon as 'Primary Census Abstract' (PCA) for each village and town. The PCA gives total population with scheduled castes/scheduled tribes, literates, main workers by main categories, marginal workers and non-workers breakup. It is important for the readers tQ acquaint themselves with census concepts of general importance and the scope of village and town directories as have been discussed under separate heads namely;
(a) Census Concepts (b) Vil~age Directory (c) Town Directory.
, A-CENSUS CONCEPTS
1. Rural and Urban Areas :
The census data are presented by rural and urban areas. A rural area is non-urban consisting of revenue villages with well defined boundaries which is the smallest unit in the hierarchy of administrative units. It may comprise of several hamlets. Yet it is considered one unit for the presentation of data. Habitations in forest areas are also considered as villages and each forest range officer's beat is considered as ,one forest village.
Urban areas have been especially defined for the purpose of population census. The de:linition is treated with some flexibility with a view to accomodating minor variations for meeting tRe ~xj8.ency of the situation. An urban unit has been defined as follows:
(a) All places with a corporation, municpality or canton1)1ent board or notified/town area ;
(b) ~ All other places which satisfied, the following criteria:
( i) A minimum population of 5,000; ( ii) At least 75% of the male working population engaged in non-agricul tural activity; ( iii) A population of at least 400 per sq. km' (or one thousand per sq. mile).
Allied agricultural actvities such as fishing, logging etc. have been considered agricultural in 1981 census for determining the proportlon of engagement of male population in non-agricul tural activities for the purpose of declaring a place a town.
2. Urhan Agglomeration :
The concept of Urban Agglomeration of the 1971 is also adopted for 1981 census. Very often the gro.wth of towns over-lapped the statutory limits of the city or town. Large railway roloniesI un'rsity campuses, port areas, industrial areas etc. came up out side the limits of ~q~ { xxvi }
town but they form continuous growth with the town. These outgrowths mayor may not by themselves qualify to be treated as separate towns but these outgrowths desene to be treated as urban areas. Such a town with their outgrowth areas is treated as one urban umt and called 'Urban Agglomeration' and Urban Agglomeration may constitute:
(1) A city with cotmuous outgro.wths (the part of vutgrowth being outside the statutory limits but falling wIthm the boundaries of the adjoming vIllage or vIllages), (Ii) One town wIth simIlar outgrowth or two or more adjolllmg towns with theIr outgrowths as in (I); or (m) A city and one or more adjolfimg towns with thier outgrowths an of which form a contmuous spread.
3. Census House : A 'census house' IS a buildmg or a part of a buildlllg having a separate mam entrance from the road or common courtyard or staircase etc., used recognised as a separate umt. It may be vacant or occupied. It may be used for residential or non-resIdential purpose or both.
4. Household: A household IS a group of persons who commonly bve together and who take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigency of work prevents then from domg so. There may be a household of persons related by blood or unrelated persons or having a mix of both. Examples of unrelated households arc boarding houses, messes, hostels, residential hotels re'>cue homes, jails, ashrams etc. These are called institutional households. There may be one-member household, two-member househ;:,lds or multI-member households. For census purpose, each one of these types is regarded as a household.
5. Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes: A person has been returned as belongmg to a scheduled caste or scheduled trIbe If caste or trIbe to which he belongs is included in the schedule of the State. Scheduled caste can belong to Hindu or Sikh religion. However, a person belongmg to scheduled tribe Gan profess !:lny religion.
6. Literates: A person who can both read and write with understanding in any language is to be taken as literate. A person who can merely read but cannot write, is not a literate. It is not necessary that a person who is literate should have recelVed any formal education or should have passed any minimum educational standard.
7. Workers: In 1981 census, the economic status of a person has been classified as :
(i) Main Worker (ii) Marginal Worker (iii) Non-Worker The dIchotomy of workers and non-workers of 1961 and 1971 census has been discarded 10 1981 census and tIme dispOSItIOn criterion 10 economic actIvIty With one year reference penod js adopted. A person who has engaged hImself 10 economic activity for major p:ut of the year ( xxvii )
(at teast 183 days) IS consIdered as main worker while those who have worked in for some time dunng the last year but not majur part of the year have been treated as marginal worker. Those who have not worked at all dunng the one year reference penod are non-workers.
Work has been defined as participr.tlOn In any economically productive actIvity. Such particIpation may be physical or mental ill nature. Work involves not only actual work but also effective SupervIsion and directIOn of work.
8. Cultivator:
A per sun is considered a cultlvtaor If he has engaged III cultIvatIOn as a single worker or famIly worker of land owned or held fro111 Govt. ur held from private persons or mstitutions for payment in money, kmd or share. CultlvatlOn includes superVISIOn or dIrection of cultIVation.
CultlvdtlOn involves plough1l1g sowing and harvesting and production of cereals and mIllet crops and other crops such as sugar cane, ground nuts, 1;aplOca etc. and pulses, raw jute and kindered fibre crops, cotton etc and does not mclude frUIt and vegetable growing or keeping of orchaIds or groves or working on plantatIOn like tea, cdlee, rubber etc.
9. Agricultural Labourer;
A persun who works III another person's land for wages III money, kind or share should be regarded as an agricultural labourer. He docs not have a flsk III the cultIvation but merely works in another persons land for wages.
10. Household Industry;
Household Industry IS defllled as an industry conducted by the head of the household hlmself/herseld and or by the members of the household at home or withm the precincts of the house where the household lives m urban areas. The larger proportIOn of workers m a household mdustry should consist of members of the household includmg the head. The mdustry should not be run on the scale of a regIstered factory which would qualify or has to be registered under the Indian Factories Act.
Industry Implies production, processing, serVicing or repair of albcles or goods such as handloom weaving, dyeing, carpentry, bidl roUmg, pottery manufa<..,\ure, blcycle repainng, blacksmithy, tailoring etc.
11. Other Worker~ : All wor:,ers, who are not cultivators or agricultural labourers or engaged in Household Industry are treakd as other workers. ThiS category covers factory and pla:1.tation workers, Government <;crv::mts, MUQ1cipal employee, teachers priests, entertainment artists, workers engaged in trade, commerce, busmess, transport, mining, construction etc.
B-VILLAGE DIRECTORY
The Village directory as the tItle connotes presents information pertaining to rural areas. The directory of Villages is presented for each tahsil III a separate series with the villages arranged III ascendmg order of the location code serials. The village directory of each tahSil IS preceded by a list of villages in which the Villages are Indexed by Hindi/English alphabets with their location code numbers. ( snili )
The villages which have been wholly merged in MUUlcipal Boards, Town areas, Cantod ments are not borne on the jurisdictional list of tahsils and consequently they !lrp, nnt I'')vered in th. village dIrectory.
However. the villages treated as an outgrowth of an Urban Agglomeration or town are listed in the villnge directory but no data are presented against the name of these villages in the village directory. The fa<,:t that a village is an outgrowth of a town is indIcated against the name of such a village. All these villages are lIsted in the Primary Census Abstract (rural) without pre senting their data for providing cross references. The uninhabIted or depopulated vIllages are listed without giving village directory information, except the area of the villages. A note against such a village indicates the state of Its being depopulated or uninhabited
The village directory brings out basic information about a village. These data can be classified into the following categories:
1. Population and households Col. 4 2. Amenities Cols. 5 to 10 3. Other infrastructural facIlitIes etc. Cols. 11 to14 and 20 4. Land use data Cols. 3 and 15-19

C-TOWN DIRECTORY
The town Directory covers all the towns.in a district. The towns are arranged by English alphabetical order. The data are presented in seven statements serially numbered I to IV, IVA, V and VI. The following mode of listing of towns has been followed:
(i) All the towns having statutory status wh~ch are not the part o( an Urban Agglomera tion is listed once in the alphabetical arrangement of the towns. (ii) All the towns which are part of an Urban Agglomeration and enjoy independent status of a statutory town are listed twice in the alphabetical a.rrangement of the towns as well as under the main town of an Urban Agglomerations. However, the data are presented separately only once under the main town. In alphabetical arrange ment a note is given, against such towns that they are part of such and such Urban Agglomeration. (iii) The out growths of a town which do not qualify themselves for being treated as independent towns are not listed in the main body of the Directory. They have been explained by a footnote to the main town and the data relating to out-growth are merged with the main town. Civ) Census towns are also listed in the body of Directory. These are the towns which do not enjoy statutory status but are declared towns for the purpose of population census.

A:na.:J..ytica,1 Note
History : Ancient history of the district is incoherent and hazy. The must probable aborigines of the district were Rajputs. The mounds at Kot Salvahan and Sahaswan. a few of coins found in the district and an inscription discovered in Lakhanpur--a place neighbouring the city of Budaun, however; shed some light on the probable• sequence of events of the ancient period in the history of the district.
During the rule of Sultans of Delhi. the ar~a constituting Budaun was part of Kather tract. Budauo was a majestic citX even then, and was capital of a provmce at that time. The first governor of Budaun was Shams-ud-dIll Altamash (1202 to 1209 A.D ). who became Sultan of Delhi. The Idgah at Budaun was constructed at this time. Shamsi-mosque at Budaun was erected by the son of Altamash in 1230. Minhas-us-Shlraz, the celebrated author of Tabkat-i Nasiri. was a greatly acquiesced man by the propitious governor of Budaun. However, Budaun remained turbulent for a long period. During the relgn of Balban, an insurrection by hitherto obsequious Rajput lords of the dlstnct was impending. To pre-empt the nsmg of these rebels, the Sultan inflicted m0Dstrous atrocities. For a time Budaun was uncer humIlIty of MU3hais led by Ali :Beg Gurgan. though after a lapse of few years; Malik Kafur succeeded in retrieving the tract. A malevolent murder of the governor of Budaun in 1351 by a Rajput noble infunated the Sultan so much as he ravaged the area that drifted mto forest. with the passage of time. Dunng abasement of Khlzr-Khan, the district was plunged into the puerile feuds that prompted the king ot: JauQPur to hold the tract for some duratIOn. But. Bahlol Lodi succeeded in ejecting out the offender subsequently. Arising of Hmdus in 1492 was impeded by Sikandar L0di through tbe deployment of a file of troops.
Abdul Qadar, a celebrated man of the town was the contemporary of Akbar. Akbar got repaired the great mosque at Budaun, which was destroyed in a conflagration. From that tUne. the importance of the place was reduced greatly as the town was no mOle the capItal of province. Its importance reached all lime low. wilen even the seat of local government was shifted from here to Bareilly.
After the death of Aurangzeb. the afi"arrs in the distrIct were in complete mlsh-mash.
That gave rise to the carvation of Domimon of Farrukhabad6 by 1720. RohIllas were at the helm of affairs after the Nawab of Farrukhabad. The historic battle of Mltanpur Katra III 1774 led the Avadh rule in Budaun till 1801, after that tract was imparted to the BrItish. The district posed for midable opposition to the Britishers during the Mutmy, The district attamed freedom WIth the rest of the country In 1947.
LoeatioD: The dIstrict occupIes the south-west portIOn of the Bareilly division. To the north lie the districts of Moradabad. Barelll}, and up to a small distance Rarnpur dIstrIct and to the south and west being separated from Bulandshahr, Btah. rarrukhabad and Aligarh distncts by river Ganges. To the east lies the district of Shahjahanpur. the boundary being partly artIficial and partly formed by the Ramganga river. The district lies between the parallels of 27°40' and 28°29' north latitude and between 78°16' and 79°31' east longitude. { 2 ~
Topography and Climate: The entire plain of the district is covered by the recent alluvial soil, They brought by rivers, the Ganges and its tributaries notably the Ramganga. NItrogen, phosphorus and humus does not occur in these soils but are rich in potash and lime. The soil is either loam and clay and new alluvium is known as khadir and old alluvIUm as bangar The former are more fertile than the latter. Generally the soils are light and porous and are SUited for agriculture. Apart from the loam and clay, the district of Budaun is also not bereft of a good chunk of btur or sand .. The above are the three main types of solIs 10 varying nature in the district. The inclination of flow in the district is from noth-west to south-east.
In tahsil Gunnaur, except for a small portion of the high ridge of sandy bhur the majority of tract is the alluvial basin of the Ganges. The drainage is imparted by the Mahawa river and it" tnbutaries, which include the Tikta, Andheria and Chholya on left side of tbe river and the Burdmar on the cigh t. 1 he area lS of changmg nature from the sand uplands to a low valley of clay SOlI which are lIlundated in monsoon The SOlI known as the changer lies beyond 011 a higher stnp which termlllates Into the nch expanse of low allUVIal bela. This last soil slopes towards the sandy shores of the Ganges. Consistmg of the upland kather, the tahsil of Bisauli is quite rich in SOlIs. The river Set IS the mam drainage m the tahSIl Either sides of the river is composed of khadir, except in the vKinlty of flver banks, where the soil IS sandy. The river Aril does the imperfect drainage as the bed of the river IS wide and shallow. The drainage done by the river Chhoiya, a small tributary <.f the AnI IS insignificant, since the former runs only for a short distance. Except for in depressions and at elevations, where the clay and sand respectively occur, the SOlI of the tahsIl is generally of loam. Remarkable feature of topography in the tahsil of Sahaswan is the inroads made by the central upland tract, the kather, through the high ridge of bhur. A very varying nature of khadzr of the Ganges lIes below the bhur Apart from the Ganges, the drainage is served by rivers the Mahawa and ChhOlya in the khadir and to some extent by the Bhamsaur and the Sot.
A large part of tahsil Budaun lies in the upland plain of the kather. Here, the river Sot flows in a deep and narrow valley The valley is thinly embedded by the khadir on either side of the river. The AnI flows in the low bankatz whIch is located to the east of the kat her. Westerly expanses from the kat her is characterised by a raised belt of POM sandy SOIL :rhe Ganges khadir occur beyond this belt of sand. Unfortunately, thIS ferttle truct is prone to inundation. Beyond this belt of khadlr and in the further vicilllty of the river Ganges occur the recent alluvial deposit of bela. The bela is subject to annual floods by the river Ganges, and is very much fertile.
The pnnC1pal dramage in the north of the tahsil DataganJ IS attributed by the Sot river, WhlCh flows in a shallow bed in thIS tahsil and serves the canal-systems. The southern part of the tahSIl is fertile khadir of the Ganges In the further north of the tahsil, there occur a high strip of sand. The sandy soil eend m a good spread of light loam, locally called the kati/. To the north of katif in Lhis tahsil IS the low bankatl tract, a one hme forest The bankat, forms the basin of river Aril. The bankati, a long and narrow tract, runs along the border of the district from north to south. To the east of bankati is the low alluvial klzadir of the Ramganga river.
During the monsoon the winds in the district comes from ea'>t and from VI est III the months of spring and summer. The potency of flow is hke III th~ neighbounng districts. The average monthly temperature is 6°C in January and 41 0 C III May. The district receives normal rainfall of 802 mm. in a year, Most wet months are July and A:ugust followed by months ( 3 )
01 September and June, The months April and November receives the least rainfall. Tho small amount of winter rains prj:cipitat.e mostly in January.
Flora and Fauna : As recent past as turn of the present century there were stretches of dhak in many parts of the disirict. In more earlier da)s the stretches were tcmarkable and was known as kala dhak forest. Bankati tract of the district W3.11 covered by another forest. These forests dwindled in a swift pace. However, the dhak has remained in the district. The usually grown trees of the district are the mango, shisham. siras, neem and tun. Other prized possession of the district are babul, gular, pakar. pipal and bcrgad. Bomboos, date-palms, tamarind, jamun, mulberry. bel, ber, kachnar and arnaltas or Indian laburnum are the other Important trees in the district.
The district was abode of many wild animals when the part of the tract was covered under the forest. With the shrinking of forest land, these animals disappeared gradually. Abetled killings by the British of tiger. leopard and wolves extmcted these creatures. Wild pigs abundant during the Batish days is nearly vanished. Antelope and 'nilgai are at the ver!Ze of extinction and rarely spotted, Only an occasional appearance of Jackals or f(lxes or hares hearten a country man of this district.
Many a birds of snipe and waterfowl familIes harbours the district during brief wmterS. The game-birds hke quail, sand-grouse, black and grey patridge are seen in plenty. though the florican are rarC.
PLACES OF TOURIST INTEREST:
1. Budaun City: Budaun is very rich in ancIent buildings and historical monuments. Foremost and Imposing bUilding of the town IS Jama Masjid. It is one of the largest buIldings in India of the Sultanate era. The central dome of the mosque rises to a height of some 90 feet. It was constructed during the reign of Altamash and was restored during the reign of Muhammad bin-Tughlaq in 1326. Several other monuments and tombs belonging to the Sultanate hme are located in the town and many of them has histoTlcal or architectural importance. , I
2. Bisauli: The dtlapidated fort of this town is large, and foundation IS nearly uncertain. It can safely be said that the fort is anterior to the days of the,RohilIas. Thougb the fort IS balIgned by ravages of times the ruin is imposmg. The fort is associated With the JOcldent.:of alleged cruelties inflicted on the family of a Rohilla Chief and thiS atrocIty was behind the impeachment of Warren Hastings.
3. Ujbani: This town is of ancient OrIgm. Severnl historical buildings in the town speaks for this. Other places of antiquity, which are famous mainly for religloU$ pomt of view iaclude Gunnaur and Sahaswan. Th~ former town contains the tomb of Saint Ma1r;hdum Sahib whIle the latter town is also a venerated spot containmg a very ancient temple. The district had played a prominent part during the Mutiny and places memorable for this are Kakrala and Islamnagar. At Kakrala the rebels and a British column confronted in 1858 and in that fight a British general was killed. In lslamnagar, the rebel tnllitia was attacked and defeated with ~vere loss by a force allied to the coioniahsts. ( 4 )
Administrative Vaits : The district is made up of five tahsils. These tabsils are baving 18 development blocks. The largest tahsIl in area and also by number of Nyaya-Pancbayats and the Gram-Sabhas is Budaun. The district is composed of 22 towns with 2,081 revenue villages. Only 1.785 of these VIllages are populated. Bisauh, Sahaswan. Bilsi. Budauo. U jhani and Kakrala are the importaat towns among twenty-two towns of the district.

Note: The difference between the sum of the area of the tahsils and the total area ef the district is attributable to the varying systems of accounting by two sources.
ECONOMY: Infra-structure: CommuDIcation infra-structure is weak in the district. The district has only 167 kms. of roads per thousand square kilometre of area, while the state of Uttar Pradesh is endowed with about 200 kms. Similarly, about 46 kms. of roads is serving per lakh of population in the district but this population enjoy about 58 kms. of roads in the state. The district has 619 kms. of roads under the P W. D., of this about 380 kms. is district roads and the rest is state highway. The length of roads 1mder the local bodies is 45 krns. These and other roads sum up in about 900 krns. of total roads in this district. A provision of rupees 113 lakhs has been made for laying roads and constructing bridges in the dIstrict b)' the P. W. D. during 1982-83. Bareilly and Agra are linked with the dIstrict by the tracks under the North-Eastern Railways that runs to about 57 km. of length (metre gauge)m this district. Apart from the above route, about 48 kms. of another track (broad-gauge) in the dIstrict is under the Northern Railways_ Primary source in irrigation is tubewells. This source irrigated about III thousand hectares. State owned tubewells are more than 700 anJ about 10 thousand are in pnvate hands. Installed pumping sets are in the vicinity of 11 thousand. Wells of all sorts faCIlitate irrigation in about 87 thousand hectares. Irrigation by canals is negligIble as thiS source Irrigates only 425 hectares. Private means of irrigation has more potential in the district than ;;in the rest of Uttar Pradesh. It is planned to install 22 new tubewells by the state agencies during 1982·83 besides, 550 privately-owned tubewells and about 1,700 pumping sets. The project WIll entati an expendi ture in tune of 66 lakhs of rupees apart from a 6'60 lakhs of rupees on various minor sources in that year. The annual consumption of electncity m the dIstrict is 87,500 thousand KWH. Irriga tion and drainage (68,005 thousand K\\ Hj is the foremost user lof power. Indu5tries (13,351 thasand KWH), etc., ,follow after that. Energy III the dIstrict IS dtstributed through 740 kIDs. of 11 KV lines, 224 kms. of 33 KV lInes and 678 kms. of low-tension lines. WIth a consumption of 40 KWH annually the district lags behind the other districts. The state average is more than double of the district's (88 KWH). However, the district (130'45 KWH) IS at par widl the state (137-35 KWH) in use of this input by per (net) hectare of cultivated area. Banking services in the district is strengthened by the opening of reg,onal rural bank. This bank has six branches m this district in addition to 44 br:mches of natIOnalised banks, and . 9 branches of other commercial banks. A smgle branch serves populatIOn of about 28 thousand.
Agriculture and Allied Sectors : Main harvests in the dIstrict are the rabi under about 266 thousand hectares (48 per cent), kharif under about 275 thousand heciares (49 per cent) and zaid under about 11 thousand hectares (2 per cent); leaving an area of about 1,200 hectares kept apart for cane-cultivatioq.

It can be observed from the above table that 88'90 per cent of the total area of the district can be cultIVated. Of the cultivable area 45''}6 per cent is irrigated. All five tahslls are extensively cultivable rangmg from 80 46 per cent to 93'95 per cent of thelr respectlVe geographical area. The irngaled area as a proportion to the cultivable area vanes betu_een the maX1mum of 58 65 per cent in Bisauh tahSil and the minimum of 37'27 per cent in Oataganj. Main cereals produced are wheat, bajra, paddy, maize, Juar and barley About 402 thousand hectares of land is under cultivation for the above and other cereals and this is about 72 per cent of the gross area cropped. The net area and the area cultivated more than onc~ are some 555 thousand hectares. Cultivation of wheat under about 208 thousand hectares forms 52 per cent of the area under the cereals and 78 per cent of the area under the rab;. The next important rabi harvest is barley which is under cultivation 1U about 2 per cent of the area under the rabi. The prime stapple grown _under the kharif is bajra under about 99 thousand hectares. That area is about 24 per cent of the area under the cereals and 36 per cent of the area under the kharif. Measuring about 16 per cent of the area under the kharifthe crop of paddy is n~xt in importance. Maize (under 33,551 hectares) and juar (under 10,243 hectares) are the other salient crops of kharif. Cultivated over 9 per cent of the gross cropped the main pulses grown in this district are gram (under 43 per cent of the area under the pulses) and arhar (under 21 per cent of the area under the pulses). Urad, matar, masoor and moong are other chief pulses grown in this district. Oilseeds use over: 8 per cent of the area grossly cultivated in the district. Among oilseeds the groundnut is an important crop as Its cultivation is done in an area which is 83 per cent of the area under the otlseed. Cane and potato are sown in 2'4 per cent and 1'5 per cent of the gross area in the district respectively. Smaller area than that of these two is accorded to the growing of tobacco, cotton, sunn-hemp and turmeric. The cropping intensity in the district is about 138 per cent as the net area sown is about 400 thousand hectares, while the area grossly sown is about 555 thousand hectares. About 52 per cent of the net area sown in the district is irrigated (net) which is slightly les~ than the area under the gross irrigation. A poor size is characteristics of operational holdings in the district as is with nearly rest of tne districts of the state. Ab( ut 44 per cent of the holdings are less than 0'5 heactare and these make about 10 per cent of the area under various sizes of all holdmgs in the district. Total holdings number 381 thousand and these cover an approxi:rnate area, of 414 tho\1sa,nd hectares as noted durir:.g the 1977 censns of agriculturCi'. {
Planned development of agriculture m the district during the last two decades has had brought an'ellcouraging change lately. The acreage and yield are rising. This has been possible, thanks to the multipronged efforts of various agencIes in recent year,. About 49 per cent more improved seeds of cereals is proposed for the year 1982-83 in comparison to 1.873 quintals distributed in 1980-81. The distribution of fertihzers was 20 thousand tonnes in 1980-81 which was 13 per cent more than was in 1978-79. SoIl conservatIOn measures will get a boost smce 60 per cent more sum is earmarked for the same for the year 19.82-83; the sum was rupees five lakhs during 1980-81. The year 1982-83 wlll see the start of a new unit of sCll testing laboratory with a capacity of analysmg twelve thousand of samples in a year; in addition to one already functIOning in the city of Budaun with an analysmg rate of 26,000 samples annually, which alone is qUite lDa.dcquate consldaatmg the extent of area cropped (net) m this dl!,tnct ConsohdJ.tion work

Crops hke cane and groundnut are Important 10 raIsmg the standard of l",mg In the dIstnct. AdoptIOn of Improved seeds of cane has been a forte in gaining the hIgher '" levels in output. About 66 per cent more of Improved caneseeds 1S targeted for distnbutlOn in commg )ear of 1982-83, whIle the dIstribution was III tune of about 400 tonnes in 1980-8l. SUnIlarly, eradIcatIOn of white giddar menace, a disease causmg havoc to the groundnut-crop of the dlstflct had InVIted an expenditure of almost 129 thousand rupees 10 1980-81. About 55 per cent more amount is proposed for 1982-83 to curb thIs dIsease. Soil conservation-cum plant protel.tlOn are assIgned an important area of attention and about 2'54 lakhs of rupees was spent under the pi0gramme dunng 1980-81. An investment exceeded by 137 per cent of the above sum IS sanctIOned for the year 1982-83. The poor attention paid so far to improve the marketI" g and storage perks is dampemng the prospect of agriculture in this district.
Livestock-rearing IS closely linked WIth the main occupation of farmmg 10 this dIstrict. The 19"8 Census of domestic animals and buds estimated more than 861 thousand animals besIdes
mo. e I han 50 1housand cf birds. The bulk: of animals belong to/ bovines (354 thousand), bufl"..llow-breeds ( 146 thousand) and sheep and goats (115 thousand). The majority of birds is that of chIckens (37 thousand). Apart from d,ury and draught animals, the sheep, pigs and bIrds are next 1ft value and as such one centre or unit for the development of each of them is' working
In the dl>t£ict. It is proposed to take over for better management the three veterinary hospitals workin g presently under the Ziia Parisharl by 1982-83. The distnct has till now 21 such hospitals.
The district has a reduced area of (>,900 hectares under the forest. Plantation is proposed during 1982-83 cn 500 hectares of land unused until then by the gram-sabhas under programme of social-forestry Similarly. in the same year about 12 lakhs of trees are proposed to be planted for horti.;ultural uses. Fish catches 10 the district are paltry in amount.
Mining, quarrying and Industry : Sand. brick-earth. kankar, bajri and boulders are the minerals of low commercial Importance found in the district. The district is one of the 37 districts of the state rated as IOdus trially backward. The four factories tbat come on the large and medium scale, are Shekhupur Co-operative Sugar Mill engaged in r roducing sugar; MJs Vegetable Industries, Vitaroi manuia~ turing Vanaspati; MIa G. I. Industries, Naushera manufacturing straw-boards and MIs Prcm Spinning and Weaving Mill, Ujhani manufacturing cotton-thread. The other units registered under Factories Act, 1948 are those run on small scale. These are mainly cold st )rages, doll-mill plants. khandsari units etc. As per annual survey of industries, 1978-79 there were sixteen functioning factones registered under Indian Factories Act, 1948 with a total in"estment of Rs. 88'6 million. These units generated an average employment of 3,221 persons per day and produced goods worth Rs. 25 million. The manufacturing process added Rs. 1'24 mIllion to the value. Other Sectors :
~mall-scale industries are gettlOg an all-round encouragement as they hold out a &oJd prospect for providing errployment to the masses. Handloom ""eaving is an important cottage industry with a total strength of more than three thuusand of looms. The concentration of weavers are found in Ujhani, Sahaswan and Babrala areas. To augment the potential of these workers, it is proposed to establish an weaver's colony With an outlay of two lakhs of rupees
during 1982-83. A further sum of three thousand of rupees IS set aside for organising an industrial-exhibition and symposium at the district headquarters. An amount of 5 lakhs of rupees is cleard to be disbursed as loan during 1982-83 to the development centres of small industries at UjhaDl, Dataganj, Sahaswan and Blsaull. These are providwg subsidies in use of power. consultation, etc. to the artisans of the areas. An aid-scheme of worth of 45 thousand of rupees is being floated in the shape ot share-capital to the three handicrafts societies in 1982-83. Creation of a complex exclusively devoted to handlooms (which Will have 50 work-sheds along with provision of traming) IS an added feature of developmental plans for that year.
AMENITIES: The availability of amemtIes within easy reach reflects on the infra-structural development of the area. The availbility of some of the selected faCIlIties have been dIscussed for urban and rural areas separately as relevant to each of them. Certam important aspects of urban areas such as population, growth, finances, import-export and manufacturing acllvities etc. have also been discussed.
Rural Areas : The rural areas of the district consist of 2,081 revenue villages, out of which 1,785 are inhabited and the remaining 296 are uninhabitad. There are no forest Villages in the district. The largest village in area in the district is Kachhla Kham of BudauD tahsil, that sprawls over an area of 4,115'30 hectares. Occupying merely an area of 3'64 hectares is Rampur Khadardanda of
Gunnaur tahsil, the smallest village 111 area in the district. A revenue village occupies on average an area of 248.08 hectares.

The villages that have one, Or more educational lU3titutlOnls account for 52.83 per cent of the VIllages of the district. The educational facilities cover the rural side most extensively in Bisauli tahsil, the villages of w.bich having educational instItutions account for 65'01 per cent. The rbral side of .Sahaswan tahsil is least covered with 44'57 per cent of its village having educational facilities. Some kind of medical faCIlities are available in 5'21 per cent of the villages of the district. Dataganj tahSIl is most advantageously placed with 7'73 per cent of its villages ilaving medical facilities. Gunnaur tahsil presents dismal pIcture as the VIllages having medical faCIlities account for a mere proportion of 2'88 per cent•. The coverage of medical facilities of the rural SIde of the district in all the 4 tahsils is poor. Postal faCIlitIes are available in 14'29 per cent of.,. the villages of the district. Proportion of coverage by this facility does not very much from one tahSIl to another, the largest being 16'03 per cent in Bisauli and the smallest being 11'82 per cent in Gunnaur. The markets are held in 13'00 per cent of the villages of the district. Of the 5 tahsds 4 are ,nearly equally placed in market ~facility. Wide departure in coverage is observed 1n Gunnaur tahsil the villages of which having market facilitIes account for the least proportion of 9-90 per cent while a variation in the remaining four tahsils is confined between 14·87 per cent in Blsauli tahsil and 12'87 per cent in Budaun tahsil. The communication Bd-I! ( 1 () ) facilities as re6.ected by the location of a railway station or provision of bus stop. are available in 8'80 per cent of the Villages of the district. Dataganj and Bisduli tahslls are equally covered by these facilities with each of them showlDg coverage of 11'08 per cent of their villages having either a railway station or a bus stop or both. Proportion in Gunnaur tahSil dips very low to 2.88 per cent. 'Fhe viUages which are connected by metalled roads IIMlke 28'74 per cent of the Villages of the district. Budaun and Bisauli tahsils stand much above the remaining 3 tahsils in the 'matter of coverage by approachability by metalled roads with Budaun showlDg the highest_. propor tion of 52-28 and 43.44 per cent respectively. Villages connt'cted by Pucca Roads lpake very small proportions among the remaining 3 tahsils the highest being 18'56 per cent in Dataganj and the lowest being 12'50 in Sahaswan tahsil. It shows that the rural side of these 3 tahsils are poorly connected by road communication. The power supply has reached to 39'83 per cent of the villages of the district. The coverage of these facilities varies greatly from one tahsil,to-'an!l)ther
'showing wirle'variations in the level of I development. Bisauh tahsil shows the highest coverage with as much as 4j5th of it- villages electrified. Budaun which follows next shows heavy drop to 52'82 per cent. The electrified villages make proportion of less than 30 per cent in the rema.inina 3 tahsils, the least being 9'58 per cent in Gunnaur.

The largest number of 1,076 villages have a populatIOn size of 500 to 1,999 persons accounting for 60'28 per cent of the total number of inhabited villages of the district. Only a small nu.mber of 12 villages have a population size of 5 thousands, and more.. The above shows that the higher population size of the village the greater is the coverage by amenities. This further is not very clearly support~d by the proportion of the villages having amenities in most populous villages with a population size of 5,000 a;Jld above.

The urban population of 318,224 persons as per 1981 Census makes a proportion of 16 14 of the total popUlation of the district. The degree of urbanisatien as reflected by the proportion stands considerably below to that of 17 95 per cent obtaining at the state level. The proportion of urban· population nose dived to 8 44 per cent in 1961 from 11'62 per cent in 1951. It however, improved a little to 9'35 per cent in 1971 and finally shot up to 16'14 per cent in 1981. This spurt in the proportion is mainly attributed Lo the addition of a large number of 16 towns that sprung up newly during the last decade. The density of urban pc-pulation has -been rising~· sharply during the period 1951-71 but the density dropped to a very low level of 2,725 persons occupying on average a sq. km. of area in 1981 from 7,224'persons in 1971. This decline in the density of uroan population of the district has been brought about by a large number of small towns added newly with sparser populatien. The density of urban popUlation in the district has been below the state average in 1951 and 1981 but above the state average in 1961 and 1971. The sex ratio as reBected by number of females per thousand male population restored its level of 1951 at 862 females in 1971 after slight decline in 1961. There are 864 females in urban areas of the district for every thousand of male population showing an iDcrease of 2 f~~~over 1971. The urban se~ ratio qas alwa~s been above the s~ate avera$e since 1951~ tiS)
