Data Product Number 03-010-2001 - Cen-Atlas (ii) FOREWORD "Few people realize, much less appreciate, that apart from Survey of India and Geological Survey, the Census of India has been perhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian sub-continent" - this is an observation made by Dr. Ashok Mitra, an illustrious Census Commissioner of India in 1961. The statement sums up the contribution of Census Organisation which has been working in the field of mapping in the country. The Census Commissionarate of India has been working in the field of cartography and mapping since 1872. A major shift was witnessed during Census 1961 when the office had got a permanent footing. For the first time, the census maps were published in the form of 'Census Atlases' in the decade 1961-71. Alongwith the national volume, atlases of states and union territories were also published. With the passage of time and in each subsequent census, a number of other products such as DCHB, Town Directory, migration maps, regional division maps and others were added. During the Census 2001, GIS technology was introduced in Census Commissionarate and Census Directorates which has given a real boost in the field of mapping. Besides the regular publications, a number of new map products such as (i) India Administrative Atlas 1872-2001 - A Historical Perspective, (ii) Language Atlas of India, (iii) Housing Atlas of India, (iv) Scheduled Tribe Atlas of India and (v) Map Profile 2001 India, States and Union territories have been published. Some of the other products are in the pipeline. Administrative Atlas, 2001 of all the States and Union territories has been undertaken for preparation, looking to the demand of DCHB maps among the data users. In this publication, maps of the state, district and sub-district levels have been put together. For convenience of the data users, the publication has been made ready in two parts : Part-I is in regard to the maps showing the evolution of States/Union territories during the period 1951-2001 at decadal level. These maps exhibit the evolution of administrative boundaries in the respective State/Union territory through the entire time period. A brief analytical note has been added to explain the jurisdictional changes to each map. Besides, there are a few thematic maps at state level showing different themes. Few selected key population statistics at States/Union territories level have also been included. Part-II is more current. The first map highlights the changes observed in the administrative boundaries during 1991-2001. This is followed by district and sub-district maps of the respective States/Union territories showing amenities and location code number in the sub-districts adopted during Census 2001 at village level. To read the location code numbers, the names of villages alongwith code numbers are given on the page facing each plate. The gigantic task of the completion of this project was entrusted to Map Division of Census Commissionarate and respective Directorates under the supervision of Dr. R.P. Singh, Ex-Deputy Registrar General (Map) and, now, Consultant (Map). Kum. Sarita, Research Officer (Map) has (iii) supervised this project. The names of others associated with the publication is given to the respective publication. The states and union territories where the Computer Assisted Cartography was not provided, the district, sub-district and thematic maps have been prepared and data compiled at the Map Division of Census Commissionarate. My sincere thanks to all the officers and officials who have contributed and made it possible to bring out this publication. I hope that this will serve the needs of administrators, planners and scholars alike and fill up the gap of basic maps. D.K. Sikri New Delhi Registrar General and ]!h September, 2005 Census Commissioner, India (iv) PREFACE The Census of India has a long tradition of providing a wealth at demographic statistics accompanied with a rich variety of maps, diagrams etc. Census mapping is as old as modern census taking in the India as commenced from 1872. However, it was in 1971 Census that idea of putting together maps of different units representing data upto village level was mooted and Administrative Atlases were brought out. Keeping in view the importance and usefulness of this Atlas, a similar effort has been made at the 2001 Census by adding maps on various themes presenting socia-economic characteristics. Introduction of computer assisted cartography by using GIS technology at the 2001 Census is an important landmark in the history of Indian Census. Till recent past the mapping in Indian census was more of manual in nature. The computer based mapping gained momentum after the 1991 Census. It is a matter of great pride that entire mapping for 2001 Census is computer based by unsing GIS technology. The present volume 'Administrative Atlas-Punjab', primarily aims to portray administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of censuses spreading over 1951-2001. The outer boundary of the state on all these maps is as per the jurisdiction in 2001. There are two sections. Section-I includes 7 maps showing administrative divisions (one for each decade) and 9 thematic maps including one map on jurisdictional changes during 1991-2001. Section-II incorporates 17 district maps and 72 tahsil maps. Each district map is preceded by basic demographic data while list of villages in tahsil are given together in the end of each district map. This Atlas has been prepared under the directions and guidance of Map Division in the office of Registrar General, India. It is the collective effort of the Map Division of the office of Registrar General, India and the Directorate of Census Operations, Punjab. The list of officers! officials associated with this work is given in the following list. At the outset, I express my deep gratitude to Shri D.K. Sikri, lAS, Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India and Shri J.K.
