No definite atmver is fOl:_!;hcoming as to why such publica)t~ons, giving village-wise information of occupied houses, break-liE of populatIon illto males/females and li~rates, were not brought out in 1921 and 1931. The reason could be transfer [rom 1921 of cel1tain charges on Census previously mel from the provincial revenues to the Central revenues <!!ld the Government of India may not have considered it necessary to publish statistics upto the village ley~l. 'Village Statistics' in 1941 were brought out by the CCIlltr::! Pr~yinc:es and Berar Govemment and this practice of bringing out district-wise publicaltions at the cost of the State Govelllment has since been conti.ming. 2. The scope of the diSttrict-wise publications, now called the District Census Handbooks, has been undergoing change with each successive Census from 195~. In 1951, th~ District Census Handbooks only contained the Primary Census Abstract and the Census tables. In view of the usefulness of separate 'Publication for each district, improvements were made at the time of the 1961 Census by including non-Census data like climate, agriculture, C(~·operation, industry, education, etc. An 'Introduc tory Note' was also added to highlight the more striking features. UnfontunatelYl the ~esire to make district-wise Census publications very comprehensive resulLed in late availability oj: the books to the users. Therefore, this time the Distri~t Census Handbooks have been divided into .three parts in order to release maximum data, -as and when finalised, so that the publications may have a useful life of about seven to eight years of inter-Censal decennil!m. Part A will contain Primarily non-Census statistics, Part B the Primary Census Abstract and Part C various administrative statistics with a -chapter titled "Introducing the district". It may be meIlltioned here that subsequently a decision has been taken to merge Parts A and B in one volume on grounds of economy. 3. Much of the delay in the publication of the District Census Handbooks after the 1961 Census was due to delay in collection of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory Note in the head office, Separation of administrative statistics and the decision to write the Introductory and. the kind Co-operation of the State Government permitting Collectors of the 1961-71 decade to write th~ chapter on "Introducing the District", likely to go a long way in early public3ltion of all the parts of the District Census Handbooks. Anotherfavourable Lactor this time is the early decision of the State Government to per.mit printing in private presses as and when Ithe work-load on the State Government Presses is heavy and likely to result in delay in the bringing out of the District Census Handbook of any distriat. It would not be out of place to point out here that the work-load in connection with Ithe District Census Handbooks is very much more this time, not only on account of wid_er coverage but largely due to the decision to bring out the District Census Handbooks in Hindi ~s well as English. In all, there will be 172 publications, 4 per district of which 2 will be in Hindi and 2 in English. Advance action was taken this time to collect the non Census data and it is hoped that the combined volume of Pants A and B of all the 43 districts would be out by the end of 1973 and Part C of all the districts by the middle of 1975. This would be a definite improvement on the 1961 performance when printing of the District Census Handbooks covered the period 1964 to 1967. 4. In his Preface to !the 1961 District Census Handbooks, my predecessor, Shri G. Jagathp~thi, had observed thus, "It was not possible at this Census to base all Census statistics on the development block as the unit mainly because in 1961 there were many areas not till then covered by blocks. The coverage had become complete by about the middle of 1963 and ilt is not unlikely that the 1971 Census will recognise the block as the basic field unit as much for purposes of presentation as for operational pur poses.... It has not been possible to adopt the development block as the basic unit for operation and presentation in this Census for more than one reason. Firstly, the office of the Block' Develop mcnt Officer was abolished in December, 1965; its resurrection in the form of office of the Block Development Assistant from 2-10-69 had not taken firm roots up to the time field arrangements for the 1971 Census were. finalised. Secondly, the tahsil as a unit of field arrangements has many more advan tages, the most significant being the ready availability of that legendarv functionary-the patwari-wilthout whose active co-operation it would be a formidable task to determine whether? habited structure in a cultivated field is part of village X or Y. Even, othenvise, since village-wise figures are available, it should not be difficult for those in need of data for intermediate units between the village and ;the tahsil, like the development hlock or patwari halka, to compile ill: by adding figures of concerned villages. The tahsil has for long been a fixed unit of administration and, to my mind, should be retained in preference to the development block whose jurisdiction may undergo a change in ll.C;l:ordance with the pace of future development. 2 5. In conclusion, I would like to place on record my grateful dhanks to the Government of Madhya Pradesh for having &<> kindly agreed to undertake the publication of the Handbooks in hindi as well as english to the various government and semi-government offices for un~hesit~tingly making available the non-Census sta.tiSitics, and to the Controller, Government Press, and his staff for arranging eady printing in the Government and private Presses.
